Trump's Potential Sentence and Possible Jail Time

There is discussion regarding what may happen to former President Donald Trump after being found guilty on multiple counts by a New York City jury. Arthur, a New York trial attorney, suggests that Trump's lawyers would prepare a substantial sentencing memorandum possibly requesting a conditional discharge. The prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, may recommend a suspended two-year jail sentence, sending a message of accountability without immediate incarceration. The appellate courts are likely to stay any sentence until after the election, considering Trump's non-flight risk status.
