From what I understand, in comparable cases (even felony ones), the sentence is usually a fine and probation.

But this case (read: the defendant) is unusual. I would not be surprised if there was some modest jail time added.

I also would not be surprised by "just" a fine and probation.

What about home confinement?

locked up in the London T Tower, not in FL, no means to crash weddings and other parties at MaL

Lawfare gives good details and color. They had two people there.

Possible but not probable. (And that reduce the secret service concerns.)

My over for probable is fine, probation, and a stern lecture.

Will a fine be more than just a small slap on the wrists?

Question: with his conviction here, is a spell broken and does it make further convictions elsewhere more likely?

I'm wondering if some of the other states who were trigger shy in charging him might actually jump on board now. Looking at you arizona and Michigan

What are the odds that Trump tries showing up to vote for himself in November? Would love to see him lose then get charged with voter fraud

It looks remarkably similar to a sports ball win. Same bar/pub from several years past. Same everything except the video on the main TV. Fakery?

Will he actually be sentenced at that time, or is this just a hearing for the prosecution and defense attornies to make their arguments for how much or how little jail time the convicted felon must serve? I assume the latter.

Sentencing is set for July 11, not June. I think the pre-sentencing reports or briefs or whatever the Judge called them, are due on June 10 (defense) and reply from the prosecution by June 24. The dates may be a bit off but there are 2 weeks between the responses.

Lock him up.

There were several 'color comments' about people inside the courtroom. trump sat unmoving with his chin on his chest for the entire reading of the verdicts. One comment about Eric tightening his mouth and making a face. Prosecutors simply packed up their stuff with no show of emotion.

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Judge admonished people in the courtroom to avoid any displays of emotion during the verdict.

Is this Weekly World News?

The reports have been saying for weeks that his team was expecting a guilty verdict.His lawyers have alluded to it several times, too. We get tired of hearing the same words every time he opens his mouth...rigged, unconstitutional, witch hunt, interference...but that is an effective plan to convince people he couldn't win ( or lose) fair and square. He was priming the pump of the cult crazies to respond in the way he wants them to.

Any reason to think that other than the fact that the watch party was held in a sports bar?
Every sports win celebration I've ever seen usually has a sea of clothing in whatever the team colors are.

As much as I enjoyed the clip in the sports bar, I'm past the point of celebration already. The rule of law is still under direct attack by the former president and current convicted felon, abetted by the entire apparatus of the Republican Party.

We ain't out from under yet, my peeps. We have a ways to go before November 5th.

Yesterday I danced and hollered and had a great time. Today I'm gonna focus on how profound and important this is for the country I love. To quote ol: handsome Joe: Get in, losers, we still gotta save democracy.
