That is, NY State's justice.
Law here is something serious.
Makes you wonder how many assault victims have been denied justice with that kind of alleged jurist in the mix.
Sure does.
BTW, Italy has statutes of limitations too.

This is actually incorrect. It required a unanimous verdict. The one MAGA could have gotten him off:

That is three sources on New York state civil lawsuits All of them say that at least five sixths of the jurors need to vote for the plaintiff to win their case. The five sixths figure is used because the number can vary from six to twelve. In this case since seven ninths is less than five sixths it would have taken eight out of the nine.
Interesting. That is the first source that made that claim that I have seen. In fact in the jstor link quite clearly disagrees with that:It seems their are conflicting links.

"In a criminal case all jurors must agree on the verdict. This is also required in a civil case, unless the jury is otherwise instructed by the court".

I found yet another source that may clear this up. New York has quite a few different civil courts. In the district court it is unanimous. In all others the 5/6 rule applies:It seems their are conflicting links.

If you keep reading along it turns out that a unanimous vote was needed. I had seen articles that said a unanimous vote was not needed. There are something like five or six different types of civil courts in New York state. In all but one type the rule is 5/6. But in New York district civil courts the rule is a unanimous vote. And this was a district court case.
That's what I remember hearing as well.
And Carroll might sue him again.Trump is appealing the decision.
