Trump’s attorney was cross-examining E. Jean Carroll when he brought up the dress Carroll wore the day of the alleged attack, prompting the judge to end the testimony over concerns about DNA evidence.

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump and United States of America
That was a dirty trick to put in jurors minds that "oh, there's a dress? Well there must not be any DNA or we'd be seeing it". Joe Taco Tuesday was told before trial that it wasn't admissible and I sorely hope the Judge sanctions him for it. Also, too, now that it's been put in their minds, I think the only fair thing to do is to inform them that yes, there is a dress, but Trump refused to provide DNA so it won't be admitted into evidence for that reason. Le them stew on why Trump refused.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 11:57 pmJudge pauses testimony in E. Jean Carroll trial with accuser on the stand

Agree 100%. I hope Carroll's attorneys come out swinging Monday morning demanding that the judge do exactly that, otherwise I think it could be grounds for a mistrial.Gregg wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 3:40 pmThat was a dirty trick to put in jurors minds that "oh, there's a dress?

Same. I think that is the only fair thing to do. The judge already had given Trump a favor by not allowing Ms Carroll to bring it up, and Taco knew it was off limits and knew what he was doing. I agree in hopes that the judge will give a statement that Trump refused to give DNA for comparison.SuzieC wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 4:21 pmAgree 100%.

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump and United States of America
Yeah, but Jean Carroll doesn't want a mistrial. Absolutely not. Last thing in the world.
She wants to put on the rest of her evidence, and let the world see it, and get a jury verdict that Donald Trump raped her.
A mistrial means more years of delay. A mistrial means the trial stops now. And if Trump can get a mistrial just by asking about the dress, what's to stop him from getting another mistrial the next time and the time after that? Oh, oops, I forgot again that I wasn't supposed to mention that dress, Judge.
No, what should happen now is that the judge should craft a statement for the jury about how Ms. Carroll still has the dress, but Trump refuses to provide a sample of his DNA, and so the judge ordered Taco Pie not to mention the dress, because it would lead to speculation. But Taco Pie violated the court order because he's a asshat (this can be translated into appropriate legal language), so now the judge is telling them the whole story, so they won't speculate.
Of course, then Trump is a goner.
They'll be able to figure out in about two minutes that if Trump hadn't raped her, he could have ended the case immediately by simply submitting some DNA for testing. If his DNA doesn't match the dress, case over.
And they'll wonder why he spent all the money on lawyers fighting the case, instead of simply giving them some DNA.

The recent posts on the DNA issue don't reflect its complexities, including that Trump made a squirrelly 11th hour conditional offer to provide DNA evidence, an offer with strings attached that would have likely delayed the trial for at least six months.
The whole story is laid out in Judge Kaplan's 21 page memorandum opinion rejecting Trump's proposal.
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... 5.56.0.pdf
Of particular note is this on p. 20

Nor is it clear that injecting a DNA issue into the case at this late date would be likely to produce any important evidence for several reasons.
First, even if there were a "match" between Mr. Trump's DNA sample and the mixture of DNA recovered on Ms. Carroll's dress, that would tend only to show that there was some encounter between Mr. Trump and Ms. Carroll on at least one occasion when she wore that dress. But it would not prove or disprove Ms. Carroll's rape allegation. [As the court noted earlier in the opinion, while DNA was recovered, no markers for semen were recovered.]
Second, even if a DNA analysis were to determine that Mr. Trump could be eliminated as a potential contributor to the mixture of DNA found on Ms. Carroll's dress, the probative value of such a determination would be very far from conclusive. It would not disprove Ms. Carroll's accusation. The alleged rape could have occurred without a sufficient quantity or quality of Mr. Trump's DNA to have remained on the dress since the mid 1990s.
Third, it is possible that the results of further DNA analysis using Mr. Trump's DNA sample would be entirely inconclusive.
E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump and United States of America
This is my dream too. The whole dress/dna issue was a setup from the day the judge told the parties not to bring up DNA. All Taco has to do is bring it up, however obliquely, and there is nothing the plaintiff can do, because a mistrial only helps fuckhead. The only solution is for the judge to explain how many YEARS fuckhead fought the DNA test, and that when it was finally ordered, he refused to do it. But IMO no judge on this Earth would have the guts to lay out the truth in that way.Foggy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 11:06 am Yeah, but Jean Carroll doesn't want a mistrial. Absolutely not.

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump and United States of America
Except that the DNA was never ordered. Carroll finally served a discovery request for it, Trump objected, and Carroll never moved to compel. Then, in February, Trump filed a bad-faith motion for an order (i) requiring Carroll to produce an appendix to her DNA expert's report (which Trump's counsel had known about for years and never requested), and (ii) implicitly allowing Trump to delay trial for months while he engaged in an extended meaningless ExpertWitnessPalooza, in exchange for which he said he would deliver a DNA sample, but with room to back out.
So it's tricky.
I dunno. Judge Kaplan is known for being an extreme hard-ass. He had attorney Steven Donziger prosecuted, disbarred, and imprisoned for criminal contempt for violating a discovery order.* So he might be able to craft an instruction that meets this situation.But IMO no judge on this Earth would have the guts to lay out the truth in that way.

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump and United States of America
According to a report from ABC7, Donald Trump attorney Joe Tacopina has requested a mistrial in the case in the Manhattan courtroom where writer E. Jean Carroll has accused the former president of rape and defamation.
With the trial expected to resume on Monday, the attorney made the filing at dawn, attacking Judge Lewis Kaplan's conduct during the four day trial.
The report states, "Defense attorney Joe Tacopina said the judge has mischaracterized elements of the case and improperly shut down certain lines of questioning during cross examination. Tacopina said he should have been allowed to explore why Carroll did not pursue security camera footage from the store and why Carroll did not go to the police following the alleged rape."
In his filing, he wrote, "Proof that Plaintiff never attempted to determine if any such footage of the parties existed constitutes circumstantial evidence that her accusation is false."

Sorry for the ICP (Inner City Press) confusion Chancery, you bring up a great point about their work. I remember the Roy Moore v Sasha Baron Cohen coverage, they were one of the only journalists in the courtroom for some of the hearings. For some reason, I associate them with Shiva Ayyadurai but think I'm misremembering. But they really are worthy of a donation, I'm going to try to give a little something when the Carroll trial wraps up.
He's back... guess Ashtray Joe was turned down again (or Judge Kaplan is going to deal with it later). But cross continues.

Yep, I was wrong on the "ordered" point (and I could have sworn....) But I think "finally" is incorrect, isn't it? She/counsel sent the report of the DNA found on to the dress to TFG, and requested that he submit to a DNA test in January 2020, shortly after the test was conducted.
February 2023Then, in February,
Trump filed a bad-faith motion for an order (i) requiring Carroll to produce an appendix to her DNA expert's report (which Trump's counsel had known about for years and never requested), and (ii) implicitly allowing Trump to delay trial for months while he engaged in an extended meaningless ExpertWitnessPalooza, in exchange for which he said he would deliver a DNA sample, but with room to back out.
