It was stopped because since no sperm cells were found, any DNA would essentially be worthless to the case. It couldn't implicate Trump but it also couldn't exonerate him.
which is why the judge stopped it I would presume.
He said it would almost surely delay the trial scheduled to start on 25 April to reopen the DNA issue four months after the deadline passed to litigate concerns over trial evidence and weeks before trial.

No. If you read it, this was a delay tactic. It was a motion that was presented to the Judge by Trump's attorney's. The judge denied it because the judge wanted to avoid any further delays.

Secondly, the fact remains that Trump did indeed agree to provide a DNA sample but the judge refused.
You can speculate about Trump's lawyers tactics all you like

That E Jean Carroll case had no direct evidence and no forensics evidence. All hearsay and speculation and assumptive conclusions. 😀
The Adult Survivors Act (ASA) is New York State legislation enacted in May 2022 which amends state law to allow alleged victims of sexual offenses for which the statute of limitations has lapsed to file civil suits for a one-year period, from November 24, 2022, to November 24, 2023.

This is completely nuts. So, he cannot say he did not do something he did NOT do and was NOT convicted of??????
He had the opportunity to defend himself during the trial. Carroll claimed she was raped, and said that she still had the soiled dress she was wearing that day, that it had Trump's DNA on it. The court said Trump could refute her claim by submitting a DNA sample. He refused, so the judge said he couldn't revisit the rape assertion since he refused to submit a DNA sample.

If all it takes is DNA on a dress to prve rape, then Bill Clinton could have been convicted of rape, too.

Yeah, after he refused for 3 long years, and 4 months after the legal deadline to do so!

That's not my speculation. Those are the judge's words.
FACT Trump missed his chance to use DNA to prove Carroll a liar. Every time he continues to call her liar, he continues to defame her.

Then any woman who had consensual sex with a man, can convict him, by merely saying he raped her and having his DNA on her clothing.

He could have. But Monica Lewinsky never made that claim.

She doesn't need to have a piece of clothing if the evidence is inside her.
All he has to do is claim it was consensual. Happens all the time.
