Trump Required to Appear for Sentencing on Jan 10th

Post by Number6 »

Judge Juan Merchan is requiring Trump to appear in court in-person or virtually for sentencing in the hush money trial where he was found guilty on 34 charges. As he said in the court order:
THIS COURT FURTHER FINDS that Defendant's arguments, whether independent of one another, or considered together, in support of his motions pursuant to CPL, 210.40(1) factors (a) through (j) are unpersuasive as no compelling factor, consideration or circumstance submitted demonstrate that imposition of sentence would result in an injustice; and

THIS COURT FURTHER FINDS that there is no legal impediment to imposition of sentence under CPL, 210.20(1)(h); and it is

HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury verdict pursuant to CPL. 210(10)(h) and 210.40(1) is denied; and is further

ORDERED, the Defendant appear for sentencing folling conviction on January 10, 2025, at 9:30 in the morning, at the Courthouse located at 100 Centre Street in new Your Count;

So, on January 20, 2025 a felon convicted and sentenced on 34 fraud counts will become the President of the U.S.. This is what the MAGAts view as a person of high moral character.

New York County. Every borough is a county, and Manhattan gets to call itself New York County, presumably because the city started there. 100 Centre Street is the court's address in Lower Manhattan.

Trump calls for New York judge to be disbarred after hush money conviction advances

President-elect Trump in a weekend rant turned his ire on the New York judge who ordered sentencing to begin next week in his hush money case, calling him “the most conflicted judge in New York State history.”

“I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME!,” he wrote on Truth Social on Saturday morning, echoing his initial response.

The idiot-elect knows the judge didn't bring the charges against him; it was a district attorney with a grand jury finding there was sufficient evidence of crimes being committed.

Trump always has to be the victim and never accepts responsibility for his actions of wrong doing.

Don't be surprised if The MAGA Congress steps in & block this move.

Supreme Court refuses Trump’s request to block Friday’s criminal sentencing

The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision on Thursday refused President-elect Trump’s request to halt his criminal sentencing, now just hours away, closing off Trump’s last remaining pathway to avoid receiving his punishment for his 34-count felony conviction in New York.

On Friday morning, Trump’s hush money sentencing will secure his status as the first felon to assume the presidency. Trump can attend virtually as Judge Juan Merchan is slated to hand down an unconditional discharge, a rare alternative to prison or probation that has no strings attached.

Trump sentenced in felony "hush money" case, released with no restrictions

Appearing in court virtually from his Mar-a-Lago home Friday, President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced for his crimes in the New York "hush money" case and released with no restrictions.

Justice Juan Merchan followed through on a promise made one week ago to give Trump a sentence of unconditional discharge, which includes neither jail time nor any other restriction that might impede Trump after his inauguration on Jan. 20.

I don't think the MAGAt Congress can do anything since it involved a state court and not a federal court. It also means Trump can't give himself a pardon for his 34 felony convictions.
