Is that normal? That doesn’t sound normal. If I, a random nobody from nowherevill got convicted of thirty something felonies in a single trial, would my sentencing be multiple months later? I actually don’t know, and that might be because I’m kindof an idiot, but this whole thing smells of bullshit.

If you’re out on bail, you’re typically allowed to be free until sentencing if you aren’t a flight risk.The US justice system moves slow as hell, so this isn’t uncommon. If he was a regular poor like us, though, and had to pay bail he couldn’t afford, he’d have been jailed throughout the entire case.

It’s actually pretty normal for someone with no priors to not serve time for what Trump was convicted of, yes.

That’s if it’s 1.

This is 32 convictions all at once.

And it also depends on that 1.

They weren’t going to not punish Adolf hitler just cuz ‘he didn’t have any priors’ either.

And if anything it depends on what kind of cases.

This is civil. Not criminal. So there’s a good chance he might not. But I’d still believe the ‘no priors’ is not the contest that counts there.

His 34 felonies are in fact criminal. Not 32; 34.

Sentencing is 7/11/24 for 34 felonies related to the hush money/2016 election interference news campaign he pulled off.

The combination of multiple elements made it a felony, elevated from a misdemeanor.

These are criminal charges for falsifying business records for having sex with a porn star and paying to cover it up.
