Reasons for Trump's adjournment and reasons for his rejection.
In the letter, Trump's lawyer, Haba, told Kaplan in Manhattan that Trump intended to attend Mrs. Knaves' funeral and that he wanted to delay the trial of his ***. Mrs. Knaves was Melania Trump's mother and was lovingly cared for by Melania during her lifetime. While attending a relative's funeral is commonplace, Judge Kaplan rejected Trump's request. He replied that the Tribunal deeply regretted this, but that "the request was denied". The judge said Mr. Trump could choose to attend a trial, a funeral or both, but he could not delay the trial.
Mrs. Knaves' funeral is scheduled for the 18th and 19th in Florida, while the trial is scheduled for the 17th in New York**. Given the contradictions in the schedule, there is a good chance that Trump will miss this part. Mr. Trump's legal advisers said he had received a lot of support during this difficult time, but Mr. Kaplan's verdict also put Mr. Trump under pressure from both a reputation lawsuit and a family funeral.
At the same time, Carroll's **Kaplan, the defendant, insisted that the trial should be held as scheduled. He accused Trump of using the death of a family member as an excuse to delay the trial, and declared that a full adjournment was not possible now. He deplored the tragedy suffered by the Trump family, but also stressed that the interrogation process was not fully controlled.
Review of defamation cases and judgments.
The trial stemmed from Carroll's defamatory accusations against Trump. In the complaint, Ms. Carroll alleges that Mr. Trump had assaulted her and assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. This accusation has aroused people's attention and controversy.
The "battle" between Trump and Carroll There was a "battle" in the Manhattan courtroom in May this year, and the result was that Trump paid Carroll $5 million. However, this trial involved *** Carroll's belief that Trump spread false statements and described the insulting behavior against her as fabricated and purely deliberate slander. In the ensuing trial, the biggest point of contention was the amount of compensation that Trump was paying. Carroll claims more than $10 million.
The adjournment of the trial and the frank injustice.
American netizens expressed widespread dissatisfaction and injustice at Trump's refusal to postpone the trial. Many netizens believe that the ruling reflects Trump's own bias, and said that if it were someone else, the outcome would be completely different. They believe Trump has the right to accompany his family through his grief at his mother-in-law's funeral, rather than forcing himself to attend the trial now.
Personal Summary. While Trump's request for a postponement was denied by the judge, the case has also raised questions about whether the trial is fair and flexible. During the trial, the defendant should not be given due human care and respect, so that he can properly resolve his family and emotional problems. In a sense, Trump's request reflects that during the trial, the defendant must balance both his own private life and the legal proceedings. However, the judge's decision also shows that the trial is fair and efficient, and the court should not be influenced by too much personal feelings.
From this case, we can also see the tension caused by *** and society. For a former American** like Trump, such cases are not just a judicial issue, but one with political and social significance. The controversy is not confined to the courts but extends to public opinion. Therefore, the outcome of a case may not be just one party, but a profound society.
Ultimately, the trial of the case will be a test of justice and freedom of expression. No matter what the final verdict is, it is necessary to adhere to the principles of fairness, objectivity, and impartiality, and on this basis, take into account the rights of the defendant and the expectations of society. Only on the basis of the rule of law can we maintain normal social order and uphold the values of justice.
