Donald J. Trump, the former president and presumptive 2024 Republican nominee, was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a case stemming from a payment that silenced a porn star.
He’ll [most likely] try to appeal as much as he can, all the way to the Supreme Court if he manages.
If that doesn’t work out for him the sentencing will be on the 11th of July, but sadly even then the general consensus is that it’s unlikely that he’ll get anything more that probation, though he does risk still 4 years in prison (with his secret service).
I suppose that if he becomes president he might be able to pardon himself, but I’m not entirely sure about the logistics for that.
Except this is a state case. Unless he also has the Supreme Court of the State of New York under his control…he’s going to have a rough road ahead I think.
The truly unfortunate part is that this may be the only conviction we get. The documents case is being destroyed by the judge, and SCOTUS is likely going to tank the January 6th case.

Supreme Court is almost all his, it will work for him

The Supreme Court of New York is not the highest court.
