E. Jean Carroll's lawyers reveal their impression of 'yelling' Trump attorney Alina Habba

Speaking to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday, E. Jean Carroll was joined by her two attorneys, Roberta Kaplan and Shawn Crowley, who revealed what it was like being in the courtroom with Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba.

Habba has been criticized by legal analysts on cable news and social media for being woefully unprepared to handle the case and navigate courtroom procedure. At several points in the trial, Judge Lewis Kaplan (no relation to Carroll's lawyer) was forced to step in and help Habba phrase her questions appropriately.

Kaplan said that she would leave such observations about Habba to Crowley but noted that it was jarring to hear Habba constantly yelling in court.

"I will say that what you heard just now in that tape of Alina Habbah leaving the court and kind of yelling at the reporters, that's what we heard every single day, multiple times during this trial, but yelling at the judge," said Kaplan. "And it was unbelievably nerve-racking each time it happened, and it happened multiple times every day."

Legal experts said in the second week of the trial that Habba was alienating the jury.

Crowley was civil and refrained from any attacks on Habba, saying only that her job was a difficult one.

"I think that she had a hard job and you could definitely see a difference between her sort of style when he was in the courtroom and when he was not there," Crowley explained. "She was much more disciplined and frankly acted more like a lawyer when he wasn't there."

Carroll said something similar about Trump himself and his behavior in the courtroom. She described the ex-president as "not there" and characterized him as a "walrus, snorting" during the proceedings.

"When he was," present, Crowley continued, "you could hear him telling her when to object, and muttering things, and loudly being frustrated with her. And I think she felt like she had to say things to the judge and to us and sort of put on a performance like you just saw in front of the TV cameras."

Crowley also said that it appears the hefty judgment has quieted Trump's defamation for now.
