Trump’s convictions, were for “class E” felonies.
The lowest degree of that charge.
In theory, he could face 4 years for each charge.
Trump is a “first time offender.” As ridiculous as that is, it does carry weight in US courts.
In most cases, a first offender, is not even giving a prison sentence. Fines, community service, probation etc….
However.
In cases where the defendant required constant reprimanding from the judge, and then (after earning a gag order) proceeded to violate said order repeatedly whilst slandering; the judge, the court, the court system, US law enforcement agencies, witnesses, and all sorts of actors in the procession, we can’t see him as an ordinary offender.
MOST people, who behaved like Trump, during trial, are NOT given as much leniency.
That is why I am tempted to believe an actual sentence may be given.
I do not personally believe, that Trump should go to prison, for his felonies. Given just the specifics of that trial.
However. I really think 6 months, would do Trump good.
It would be a predetermined time, so his supporters would have nothing to riot over.
He would still be incarcerated, leading up to the election. Which is important, because part of his crime had to do with getting elected. So. The punishment, should effect his current efforts.
