Judge sets Trump's sentencing in hush money case for Jan. 10, but signals no jail time

[Fort Fun Indiana]

This is a book end to the darkest chapter in american history since Jim Crow…that is the demafacist regime of Joey Xiden and the open political prosecutions. Besides the political prosecution, xiden legacy will be record Covid deaths and leaving a majority of the country worse off

That hilarious and embarrassing nonsense will maybe appear in the chapter about your cult.

Actually, I think this is a triumph of the rule of law under the circumstances.

It will be once the appeals court erases the conviction.

Which won't happen.

 

[DonGlock26]

Which won't happen.

I think so based on the SCOTUS' ruling.

Merchan wrote that he sought to balance competing interests: Trump’s ability to govern “unencumbered” by the case, the U.S. Supreme Court's July ruling on presidential immunity, the public’s expectation “that all are equal and no one is above the Iaw,” and the importance of respecting a jury verdict.

Judge sets Trump's sentencing in hush money case for Jan. 10, but signals no jail time

In an extraordinary turn, a judge Friday set President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing in his hush money criminal case for Jan. 10 — little over a week before he's due to return to the White House — but indicated he wouldn't be jailed. The development nevertheless leaves Trump on course to be...

I encourage everyone to read Merchan's ruling. It's a masterpiece.

There is nothing funny about the harm to this nation caused by Xiden and the demafasict

Sit back now, enjoy the peace and prosperity that America’s Mandela will bring.

I think so based on the SCOTUS' ruling.

That's exactly why it won't be overturned. Directing a criminal conspiracy by ordering around nongovernment employees is not an official act of office. The SCOTUS was crystal clear.

Merchan probably pissed himself.

The sentence is no penalty. lol.

Can you appeal a conviction that does not have a penalty?

"When the court imposes a sentence of unconditional discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision.

A sentence of unconditional discharge is for all purposes a final judgment of conviction."

N.Y. Penal Law § 65.20 – Sentence of unconditional discharge

1. Criteria. The court may impose a sentence of unconditional discharge in any case where it is authorized to impose a sentence…

Merchan plans to issue a unconditional discharge. Meaning there will be no jail jail time or probation but trump will remain a convicted felon.

Until Merchan is overturned.

From the ruling, link previously provided.

As indicated above, the Defendant has been found guilty on 34 felony counts. The significance of the fact that the verdict was handed down by a unanimous jury of 72 of Defendant's peers, after trial, cannot possibly be overstated. Indeed, the sanctity of a jury verdict and the deference that must be accorded to it, is a bedrock principle in our Nation's jurisprudence. "The right to have a jury make the ultimate determination of guilty has an impressive pedigree. Blackstone described 'trial by jury' as requiring that 'the truth of every accusation, whether preferred in the shape of indictment, information, or appeal, should afterwards be confirmed by the unanimous suffrage of twelve of [the defendant's] equals and neighbors." United States a. Gaadin,515 US 506 [1995], citing to 4 W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 343 (1769) (emphasis added).

Sure, the conviction can be overturned.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Trump.may drop the appeals. The fat rapist only really cared about staying out of jail.

When was Trump convicted of rape? I must have missed that. Or are you lying?

 

[berg80]

You've destroyed our Judicial system

That is what trump is still actively trying to do.

 

[buckeye]

The orange subhuman turd will still enter office as the fist POTUS in history who's a convicted felon.

And of course the orange subhuman criminal scumbag felon is ranting & raving about it.

Making MAGA idiots proud.

When his appeal is granted it will no longer be true.

And history will point out the democrat lawfare and the resulting terrible bias in the NY court prior to the appeal being granted.

Yep it will be overturned by the NY Court of Appeals

Don't forget that history is written by the winners, and the American people have won. The referendum was on November 5th
