I recall one of President Trump’s attorneys pointing out that under the law you are not actually a convicted felon until after you have been sentenced. Granted that won’t change the minds of TDS sufferers.
Exactly.
He has been convicted of 34 counts of wrong accounting. For this to be a felony, it requires an underlying crime. They have 3 motives but they did not require the jury to be unanimous about the underlying crime.
So technically he is not convicted of felony but can only be established after appeal.
However you become a felon only after sentencing Which has been postponed.
there's judges who became judges after being convicted felons.
It all depends on the appeal. He won’t be once an honest court examines the trial, which it already has. The prosecution looked bad in this hearing.
What crime has he been convicted of?
34 counts is wrong accounting without a specific underlying crime (which is necessary for a felony)
None of which have actually resulted in a conviction though correct?
There is a conviction, however that conviction is politically motivated because the thought is that if Donald Trump became a felon, then his support will collapse meaning that Joe Biden will win a second term only to pass away just months into that term and it would lead to President Kamala Harris.
But the above didn't happen as the conviction made President Trump more popular and it led to the Democrats staging a coup against Joe Biden in order to install Kamala as their nominee. That turned out to be a massive mistake as Kamala has revealed herself to be a complete moron in the eyes of the public. She offered nothing this election cycle except for the fact that she stole portions of President Trump's platform in order to get elected.
Yeah but which one of yhe crimes that they charged him with actually led to a conviction?
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO All these charges WERE MADE UP to get him knocked out of the Election. These people will pay for the Lies they have told and the conniving they've done to keep him in court and costing him money. So the answer is NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
Not according to Megan Kelly he's not. She said he was 'found liable' in a civil suit and that's worlds away from being convicted of a crime / felony.
The short answer is yes. But the expectation is that it will be over turned during / before sentencing due to corruption of the courts / judges... and the scam will be declared a mis trial.
The short answer is no. No one is a convicted felon until after sentencing.
