Doesn't matter. She won. Unlike criminal cases, which require proving guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt," civil cases require a preponderance of the evidence. This means Carroll only had to prove that her version of events was more than 50% likely to be true. The jury deliberated for less than three hours before finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. (the jury in both trials combined, consisted of only 5 women)

Trump chose not to attend or testify at the first trial, leaving his defense with no counter-testimony to refute Carroll's version of events. Furthermore, evidence from his recorded pretrial deposition severely damaged his defense.

In her 2019 book, Carroll publicly accused 21 men of varying degrees of harassment and assault.

I have said in the past, Trump does not hire good lawyers. But the judge also allowed some evidence into the trail which, in my opinion, should have been inadmissible. He let the Access Hollywood tape into trial for example. In that tape Trump said because he was rich and famous women "let him grab them by the pussy." The key word there IMO, is "let", which implies they consented. Of course in know way does this prove that Trump did anything to Carroll. It was damaging evidence that should have been excluded. The judge also allowed hearsay into the trial, specifically to of Carroll's friends who claimed Carroll told them of the alleged assault 20 year ago, and 10 years after the assault occurred. Then, the judge allowed two other women to testify that Trump attacked them similarly at different times. But again, this is not proof that he did anything to Carroll, and the stories of these two witnesses were not corroborated either.

I get the standard for a civil case is easier to meet than for a criminal case. This case could never have succeeded in a criminal court. But at the same time the judge had a lot to do with the outcome of this case by allowing a lot of evidence into the trial that would normally have been excluded.
