Let’s pause the trial and brief the issue. Then pause it again for the circuit court appeal. Again for the en banc appeal. And again until SCOTUS can hear arguments in August 2028.
Reminder: Bush v Gore was decided and the opinion released in ONE DAY
You usually get a short continuance to find new lawyers. Definitely not a miss-trial (absent evidence of actual malfeasance by former counsel). Would depend on the judge, but given trial has already started, it wouldn’t be long.
I’m fairly certain this is only if the lawyers request to withdraw as counsel - that has to be approved by court. I think if a party wants to fire their counsel, judge can’t stop them.
This baffles me because a fascist president has little use for a supreme court. I really thought they’d try to protect their own power and interests by not favoring Trump. I’m not seeing what they have to gain by assisting him
They’re republicans. The end.
What is the motivation for the judge in the hush money case to not sentence him to prison immediately following a guilty verdict?
I think sentence is stayed pending appeals
Edit: Which btw will take time. So even if convicted and sentened, don’t expect people like clovis8 here to consider that a consequence
Any of y’all want to put money on him being convicted?
If you aren’t aware that Roberts got his seat for stealing a presidential election, you shouldn’t be name checking people itf.
The motivation is normal people convicted of low level felonies as a first offense frequently get probation. If it wasn’t for Trump’s other crimes I might think he doesn’t even deserve time in the hush money case.
Sentence is not stayed pending appeal most of the time, but can be if the judge thinks the defendant has strong grounds for appeal. Plan on somewhere between 2 weeks and two months for sentencing after a possible conviction, just because that’s when the sentencing hearing is.
Watters said this was cruel and unusual punishment so def consequences
Nothing engages the empathy of rich white America more than seeing rich white Americans experiencing the justice system they built for poor people.
Ha, yes, we’ve come a long way from Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities, which in some ways can be summed up by his supposed quote “If a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who’s been arrested.”
Thanks for watching!

“Sometimes contradicting himself”
I loathe the world so much. 
Let’s say that the judge gives Trump the full maximum sentence of 4 years in prison. Can an appeals court say that no actually he should have only gotten probation?
Sure. That said it’s pretty unlikely any court other than SCOTUS is going to bail him out as NY courts aren’t favorable to Trump.
