After the verdict was read in the defamation trial between writer E Jean Carroll and former president Donald Trump, the judge overseeing the trial suggested the jurors never reveal their identities.
“My advice to you is that you never disclose that you were on this jury,” Judge Lewis Kaplan advised them in the courtroom.
The jury of nine spent the last two weeks hearing arguments in the second trial between Ms Carroll and Mr Trump.
The trial comes after a similar one last year where a jury found Mr Trump liable for sexually abusing Ms Carroll and defaming her.
This trial was only to decide on the amount of damages Mr Trump owed Ms Carroll.
These damages are in addition to the previous jury’s decision to award Ms Carroll $5m in compensatory and punitive damages.
E Jean Carroll and her legal team leave court after a jury awarded her $83m in defamation damages in the case she brought against Donald Trump (Ariana Baio). »
