I was wondering whether the defendant’s conduct, during the trial, could be included as part of the consideration for sentencing (e.g. in addition to considering things like whether they’re a first time offender, etc.)?
“There’s no place like home…there’s no place like home…”
So when do we start talking about sentencing?
My gut says house arrest, but my gut also didn’t expect guilty on all counts.
That was a perfect verdict. Never has there been a more perfect verdict. Grown men, with tears in their eyes, say it’s a perfect verdict.
Hell, Joe Exotic is running from prison.
Judges routinely consider whether the defendant shows remorse, don’t they? I think it’s pretty clear the answer to that question.
It will be appealed to hell and back, of course.
From the NY Times:
Todd Blanche, Trump’s lawyer, is arguing, with the jurors gone, that the verdict is impromper and should be tossed because it relied on Michael Cohen’s testimony.
The judge immediately denies the motion.
From me:
Suuuuuuck it!!
Todd Blanche is asking for a sentencing date in late July.
When will sentencing take place?
We don’t know yet
100% guilty on all of them.
I just heard sentencing will be July 11.
The GOP Convention starts July 15.
I wonder if they’ll have someone speak by Zoom.
I can’t believe it. The man is finally facing a fucking consequence!
The soundtrack for tonight should include this song from MST3K’s “Phantom Planet”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1LAf9-QxvQ&t=2086s
Convicted felon. About time. Let this be the first of many felony convictions for that bastard.
He’s a flight risk.
Hold him.
Is prison extremely unlikely?
Yep, sentencing on July 11 at 10 am Eastern time.
“Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!”
