The judge set a July 11 sentencing date giving prosecutors and Trump’s attorneys time to prepare their arguments and supporting material, legal experts said.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he arrives to court for his hush money trial at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 30, 2024, in New York City. Judge Juan Merchan gave the jury instructions, and deliberations are entering their second day. The former president faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first of his criminal cases to go to trial.
“Usually a report is generated by the department of probation or prisons. And then the district attorney would have an opportunity to weigh in, as would the defense, to propose sentences,” Acevedo said. Trump, who is the presumptive Republican candidate for president, could be confined to Trump Tower in New York if sentenced to home detention, and could be barred from leaving the state while on probation, Acevedo said.It is almost certain that Trump will appeal his conviction, but he will have to wait until the trial judge sentences him and enters a final judgment in the case.
Trump’s sentence could be put on hold pending the outcome of an appeal, Serafini and Acevedo said. Timmons said Trump could also be required to post a bond in order to have the judgment against him delayed while he awaits an appellate ruling.
