I can only get so erect.
Downvotes because the guy they quoted doesn’t know a damn thing, he’s a Fox News columnist who says the judge will put Trump in jail to do a favor for Harris.
The headline is edging me regardless.
Yeah it’s an eyegrabbing headline but it means nothing.
It’s a judgement from someone who isn’t involved with the case or even the legal system, he’s just making noise to drum up ire from Trump supporters.
Newsweek reporting on some rando on Fox making a completely baseless speculation?
Gotta love the American media.
Newsweek is a right wing craphole since they got bought.
I think a prison sentence is unlikely for a first time nonviolent Class E felony," Syracuse University law professor Gregory Germain previously told Newsweek.
Obviously very doubtful he’ll see the inside of a cell, but how glorious would it be if he did…
How is it unlikely with 34 counts, though?! Some super rich white guy 2-tier system vibes here
My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don’t normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.
I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn’t really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)
It’s 34 individual crimes that were committed as a pattern of criminality.
Lets say a mass shooter runs and kills 34 people; that’s 34 homicides but a single trial. each one would be worth whatever time in jail.
In this case, the usual punishment is a fine rather than jail time; and jail is only an option for extremely severe cases (or if they can’t pay the fine?) So, they’re just gonna stack the “appropriate” fines.
And it shouldn’t have waited until he’s old and smelly for it to be a first time offense.
OK, put him on probation for the first time.
Then sentence him for the other 33.He might have gotten away with probation, but then he complained to Musk that if he loses the election, they would do the next interview in Venezuela. I bet that would raise some doubts in the judge’s mind regarding whether he would comply with the terms of probation.
I really want to hear about him being in ADX Florence. Partially because we’ll stop hearing about him, partially because it would be amazing to see his more hardcore supporters
