Merchan stands firm on hush money case.

If a judge finds you guilty you are guilty.

A guilty plea or a jury verdict has to be accepted by the court.

That's why it's called "adjudication"- because a judge has to make a final determination one way or the other.

This case is still open. Until Merchan enters a final judgement, it remains open.
In a bench trial the judge has the final say on guilt or innocence. In a jury trial the jury has. And the jury unanimously convicted Trump, therefore he's a convicted felon because the charges were felonies. The only thing left undetermined is his sentence.
You are too uninformed to debate.
 

Judge Denies Trump’s Bid to Throw Out Conviction Over Immunity Ruling


A judge on Monday rejected Donald J. Trump’s argument that a recent Supreme Court ruling had nullified his criminal case in New York, upholding the former and future president’s felony conviction for falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal.

The judge’s ruling preserves, at least for now, the stain of Mr. Trump’s criminal conviction. And if it withstands Mr. Trump’s appeal, it will make him the first felon to serve as president.

The ruling, which addressed the Supreme Court’s decision to grant presidents broad immunity for their official actions, thwarted only the first of several legal maneuvers Mr. Trump has concocted to clear his record of 34 felonies before returning to the White House.

Prosecutors had argued that the Supreme Court’s decision had “no bearing on this prosecution,” noting that Mr. Trump was convicted of orchestrating a scheme involving a personal and political crisis that predated his presidency.


All most of us want is accountability for crimes committed.
What a surprise, the hand-picked Democrat bootlicker Judge Merchan won't give up on his phony Frankenstein law suit. Nothing burger. Next.

Merchan upheld the guilty verdict.

It's accepted by the court.

S 330.30 Motion to set aside verdict; grounds for.

At any time after rendition of a verdict of guilty and before
sentence, the court may, upon motion of the defendant, set aside or modify the verdict or any part thereof
upon the following grounds:

1. Any ground appearing in the record which, if raised upon an appeal from a prospective judgment of conviction, would require a reversal or modification of the judgment as a matter of law by an appellate court.

The sentence isn't the only thing left.
There is the appeal process to go thru to determine if the Law was upheld or abused by the judge.
Merchan's Kangaroo Court has many items to appeal, the judge, the charges, the evidence, the instructions..

That's nice.

But in this case, the judge has accepted and even reaffirmed the verdict more than once.

Merchant said no. That's final.

As of today Trump is a convicted felon. That's a fact.
 
No, he denied the motion to dismiss based on immunity.

That is all this was.

He gave himself till the 20th to decide the other motions.
That's right, Merchant dismissed the motion to dismiss. Other than immunity there is nothing that would get Trumpy off the hook.

Wrong. There is another motion that is not yet ruled on. I am not going to try to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand.

There are also grounds to dismiss based on NY law. I'm sure Merchan knows this will be reversed on appeal, and he can vacate the verdict based on that alone.

Personally, I want him to enter the verdict and pronounce a sentence, so it can go the the appeals court- they will cut Merchan to pieces over all the due process violations.
 
Yes DemocRATS, keep up the LAWFARE!!!!
The American People REALLY responded well to it!
:banana:
As long as the subhuman takes the oath as a convicted FELON, which he is, that's fine with me.

Trump & MAGA herd tears are a sight to behold.
