12.25 EDT Judge tells jury it has option to return one of several verdicts
The Guardian’s Chris McGreal has been covering the trial of the civil lawsuit filed by E Jean Carroll alleging rape Donald Trump, and has more on the many ways the jury could decide the case:
The jury has the option to return one of several verdicts.
It can find that Trump raped Carroll, who was in the front row of the court on Tuesday. Alternatively, if it does not believe the evidence proves rape, it can find he is responsible for sexual abuse, meaning forcible sexual contact without consent.
If the jurors do not believe either of those findings are applicable, then they can return a verdict of forcible touching, or they can clear Trump. If they find Trump is responsible for sexual abuse in any form, the jurors will also have to assess damages.

And how much money does Trump actually have? I believe one of the New York cases is about him simply making up numbers.
