So as the E Jean Carroll case is resuming I want to pose the question. What punitive damages are appropriate here?
This trial is solely about damages, meaning Trump's denials are irrelevant, in fact, they are prejudicial. Publicly denying it happened and calling her a liar is cause for further defamation.
Since the trial started, he has repeatedly done so. And in NY there's no cap on the amount. The whole idea of punitive damages is to deter the causing of further harm.
My figure runs in the hundreds of millions since Trump needs to feel the pain if you need him to stop. And tens of millions aren't cutting it.
Thoughts?
