E. Jean Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan told the jury that when they are considering punitive damages, they should determine "what it will take to get Donald Trump to stop.”

"We’re all human beings, and we’re all capable of understanding the pain and suffering Ms. Carroll has experienced,” Kaplan said. “In our view, the damage to Ms. Carroll’s sense of self — to her piece of mind — the feeling that we all have that we can go about our lives every day and not be suddenly attacked or raped or killed is very significant, so the dollar number to compensate for that has to be very large."

Carroll’s attorney told jurors to consider what Trump had done.

“Twenty-five years after Donald Trump sexually assaulted her, Ms. Carroll came forward to tell her story,” Kaplan said. “In response, Donald Trump sought out to ruin her life. Wielding his position as president, he attacked her integrity and her honestly and not only denied the sexual assault, but he said that she made it up for money or fame or part of conspiracy.”
