    Well closing arguments start Tuesday so it’s more like 100% chance it ends by November.

      I think we’ll have a verdict by the end of next week. The evidence is damning.

        Still a win.

        In New York, you are incarcerated while your appeal plays out.

          Unless you are orange. Convicted or not, there is absolutely 0% chance they are putting this malformed traffic cone behind bars.

            I can’t think of a single legal mechanism that would prevent it from happening. If you know of one, do tell.

            This isn’t a Federal crime where they have the option of putting him in a military barracks like they did Nixon’s lawyer.

              They have facilities that are used to keep “protected” inmates (ex. - informants, flippers) out of general population prisons that they could put him in and have him be the only inmate in the building.

              When you get to this level of popularity, you get special rules. It’s the same as how he just got endless warnings for breaking the numerous gag orders. They don’t want to trigger a bunch of riots by his fan base, who would all be convinced that this whole thing is just political persecution.

                Or they don’t want to afford Trump any even remotely legitimate opportunities for his appeal.

              Hope you’re right. Until it happens, he’s completely immune.

              His CFO is also doing his 2nd round at Rikers because he would rather purger himself then snitch on the crime boss. And also something to do with his “don’t flip” NDA he has with Trump that gives him a bonus for not cooperating with law enforcement that came to light during this current trial.
