(Trump denied the charges.) The trial is in its second week, and there have been plenty of tense moments — but one that stuck out involved an extended back-and-forth about screaming. “I’m not a screamer,” Ms. Carroll testified last week during her cross-examination, when asked by Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, why she didn’t cry out during the attack. “I was too much in a panic to scream. I was fighting.” Mr. Tacopina dug in: “When you’re fighting and being sexually assaulted and raped, because you are not a screamer, as you describe it, you wouldn’t scream?” “You can’t beat up on me for not screaming,” Ms. Carroll replied. One of the reasons women don’t come forward, she said, “is because they are always asked, ‘Why didn’t you scream?’” Indeed.
