In the last few minutes of questioning in the defamation trial involving the writer E. Jean Carroll on Thursday, Donald J. Trump’s lawyer Joseph Tacopina asked Ms. Carroll about the dress she wore on the day she says Mr. Trump raped her decades ago.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who is presiding over the civil trial in Federal District Court in Manhattan, immediately dismissed the jury for the day and then asked Mr. Tacopina his intentions with his line of questioning, apparently expecting that he might be treading close a topic both sides have agreed not to touch — DNA.
Nearly three years later, Mr. Tacopina told the court that his client was finally willing to provide a DNA sample, under certain conditions. Specifically, Mr. Trump offered his DNA in exchange for an appendix to a laboratory report that Ms. Carroll commissioned about genetic material on the dress.
Judge Kaplan called Mr. Trump’s offer a stalling tactic, noting in a pretrial ruling that his offer came after a deadline to disclose evidence had already passed. Judge Kaplan also said that the two sides had already agreed in a joint order that no DNA experts would be called as witnesses.
The judge also noted Mr. Trump had already had the report in question — except for the missing appendix — for three years.
And even if Mr. Trump provided DNA, Judge Kaplan said in his ruling, it might not matter for the trial. “It is possible that the results of further DNA analysis using Mr. Trump’s DNA sample would be entirely inconclusive,” he wrote.
The upshot is that DNA evidence cannot be brought up by either party at the trial, which explains why the judge stopped the proceedings when Mr. Tacopina started asking about the dress on Thursday.
有人提到,川普的性侵案,時隔30年,陪審團怎麽認定證據的?
這個問題很好。
首先,先澄清一點:這個案子是民事,不是刑事。

這位網友不要在這裏裝法律專家,這隻要民主黨一次十分下作的政治迫害。
美國政治分裂非常嚴重,尤其是左派,左派對右派懷有的是仇恨,就像這個網上的左派和五毛一樣,一股要將對手至於死地的氣勢。
曼哈頓地區80%左派,陪審團隨機選出也會是80%左派,讓這樣的陪審團去審理政治對立的任何一個共和黨,都會判其有罪,這時的事實證據是否清楚已經不是陪審團考慮的問題了。
美國的民主法製被民主黨玩成shithole國家的水平,是一種悲哀,五毛們樂見此事,但是左派也樂見就更悲哀了.
