defend his rights all the way up to the supreme court if necessary. bill: the appeal is 30 days after the sentencing. so the window opens on july 11th. i don t know if this appeal happens before the election. seems a stretch to me. i was looking at the accounts for all en weisselberg, the former accountant. he was found guilty on seven counts of felony. in the state of new york a through e, a more serious. trump was found guilty for a class e felony. what will the judge do when it comes to sentencing? weisselberg had one that was c grade, one was d grade and five that were e grades. trump technically has 34e grades. weisselberg is age 76. trump is 77. is merchan going to put trump in jail, andy? well, i think there will be a lot of pressure on merchan to have a jail sentence component
appeal runs. years, right? that s going to be years. former fbi director james comey was on msnbc yesterday. here is what he said about any logistical challenges that could arise over putting trump behind bars. no. they would put him in a double wide somewhere out near the fence, out in the grass. he would eat there, shower there, exercise there, he d be away, as dania perry said, from general possible lags, but it s obviously doable. mark, do you agree? does judge merchan s history give us any clues as to how he may approach this? his history tells us he s very fair. don t forget this is a first-time offender, and it s a class e which is a very low level of felony. many, if not most people who were convicted, do not get a prison sentence. i think judge merchan will be right down the middle, weigh all the factors. i don t think the fact that he
should not let collateral damaging information out during a trial, and that certainly happened here when you talk about the access hollywood tape being described and karen mc mcdougal s n darks being mentioned. nda a being mentioned. there s some pretty sexy areas for appeal if that are going to be coming, and it s going to take a some time, but i would start. paul: the weinstein case is the harvey weinstein case where the appellate court overturned the conviction. let s turn to sentencing here beliefly. the sentencing briefly. the sentencing hearing will be july 11th. do you think the judge will impose jail time? well, in a normal world, no. i mean, these are classy class e felonies which are a little bit big brothers to misdemeanors, right on the line of misdemeanors. it is an old case, it is a contrived case, it is a
go judging you a storied career. did you ever try? at each level non-violent felony offense no. i m john, they don t like those cases, don t go to trial. well, the tape, please write they often take making a plea bargain misdemeanors, right. so i m like nothing. it s the lowest of the low it can happen. obviously, the defendant is facing state prison if convicted, but there s every alternative and the book, even if he is convicted on the class e felony. so that could happen too, but some some defendants have immigration issues or other issues and then you don t want to plead guilty and they will try their case. we finished jury selection first. that appears we move on. elie honig, arthur dala, judge. thank you very much. appreciate your time tonight. we ll continue this conversation. trump might be envious of what happened up on capitol hill today, democrats are able to ended impeachment trial just hours after it began. speaker johnson s headache, however, only growing why his job
he was defending not only himself but the entire train car. so how hard is it going to be for the prosecution to prove their case? so let s break it down. the harder charge to prove is actually the second degree manslaughter because that requires penny to have been acting in reckless disregard for a non-justifiable risk. bragg would have to prove penny knows that neely is choking to death and ready to die and just continues to hold his neck. there is no way he is ever going the prove that given the circumstances of neely getting on that subway and saying i ll kill people, i m ready to go to jail for life. the one where that he might have a chance at getting a hung jury maybe is the criminal negligent one is the lower charge. that s a class e felony. all that requires is carelessness that penny acted in
