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，时隔30年，陪审团怎么认定证据的？
这个问题很好。
首先，先澄清一点：这个案子是民事，不是刑事。

这位网友不要在这里装法律专家，这只要民主党一次十分下作的政治迫害。
美国政治分裂非常严重，尤其是左派，左派对右派怀有的是仇恨，就像这个网上的左派和五毛一样，一股要将对手至于死地的气势。
曼哈顿地区80%左派，陪审团随机选出也会是80%左派，让这样的陪审团去审理政治对立的任何一个共和党，都会判其有罪，这时的事实证据是否清楚已经不是陪审团考虑的问题了。
美国的民主法制被民主党玩成shithole国家的水平，是一种悲哀，五毛们乐见此事，但是左派也乐见就更悲哀了.
