Original Note:
Donald Trump was not convicted of sexual abuse. The case he recently lost was a civil suit, not criminal, and he was found liable, not guilty. Civil suits have a much more lax burden of proof for claims, and juries typically only have to reach a verdict by simple majority. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/politics/e-jean-carroll-trump-lawsuit-battery-defamation-verdict/index.html
