Any NY judge and jury is going to be tough for trump to get a fair trial in.
Let’s look at the case. To get to preponderance of evidence, there would have had to have been SOME kind of evidence to begin with. Comments trump had made about her, or them being seen together, something that links them together that the jury would say “yes, we think it’s likely he could have done that”, but in this case, there was none of that. There is no evidence whatsoever that they were even at bergdorf at the same time. It’s just his word against hers, and her two friends she claimed to have told at the time.
The fact that the jury decided to find him liable under zero evidence or even any indication that they were ever at the store on that day shows the jury was biased.
There was evidence. She brought in witnesses. Trump admitted to assaulting women previously. And in Trump's own testimony, after saying Carroll was not his type, thought a photo of her was really a photo of his ex-wife. You many not like that that is evidence, but it is.
