Original Note:
A party is liable when they are held legally responsible for something. Unlike in criminal cases, where a defendant could be found guilty, a defendant in a civil case risks only liability. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/liability#:~:text=A%20party%20is%20liable%20when,civil%20case%20risks%20only%20liability. Trump was found liable which is not the same as guilty. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/jury-reaches-verdict-e-jean-carroll-rape-defamation-case-trump-rcna82778 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e-jean-carroll-trial-verdict-liable-defamation-sexual-abuse-5-million/ https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/05/09/nyregion/trump-carroll-rape-trial-verdict Trump will appeal. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3996111-trump-says-he-will-appeal-e-jean-carroll-case-over-unconstitutional-silencing/
