Now that we have a conviction here, a part of me could care less if the verdict is ultimately reversed entirely on appeal.Frayed Knot wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 5:50 pmGuilty in some degree or another?

Do you have reservations that there'd be a conviction? Or that the conviction would lead to jail time?
I was of the camp that a conviction of some sort would be found, but that the sentence would be probation etc. No jail time.
So long as this conviction contributes to a Biden win and a Trump loss this November, that would be Trump punishment enough for me. Any appeal, I assume, won't be decided until long after the election, too late to prevent a Trump election loss influenced by this felony conviction.
Ideally, though, I'm hoping for jail time, which any similarly situated ordinary citizen defendant would definitely receive, especially given the vicious, vile, remorseless and bullshit laden public comments Trump has been making all along about this prosecution. Of course, any jail sentence would be stayed pending this defendant's appeal. That's fine with me, too.
