One Possible Explanation for Justice Merchan's Last-Second Decision to Sentence Trump


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. an-s-last-second-decision-to-sentence-trump.html
Published in Politics and Government on by Slate   Print publication without navigation

Merchan's concern for the rule of law and his condemnation of Trump's attack on the judiciary are well stated. But his timing puts higher courts in an impossible bind and his ruling is not likely to be well received by a Supreme Court especially protective of presidential power.


The article from Slate discusses the potential legal consequences for former President Donald Trump following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the case, is expected to sentence Trump on January 20, 2025, which coincides with the presidential inauguration day. Despite the severity of the charges, the article suggests that Trump is unlikely to face prison time due to several factors: he is a first-time offender, the charges are non-violent, and there's a tradition of leniency towards white-collar crimes. Instead, alternatives like fines, probation, or community service are considered more probable. The timing of the sentencing on inauguration day adds a layer of political intrigue, potentially influencing public perception and the political landscape, especially if Trump were to be a candidate or the president-elect at that time.
