Judge 'took the wind out of Trump's legal arguments' in criminal case: former prosecutor
Raw StoryA lot of observers were upset by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan's decision not to sentence Donald Trump to jail time in connection with the president-elect's felonies, but Merchan actually made the best out of a bad situation, an ex-prosecutor said. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance weighed in on the news on Saturday, writing in her Substack blog that, "The Judge tipped his hand about his intentions, if the case does make it to sentencing, in his Friday order." Vance went on to say that, "If Trump isn’t sentenced before he takes office, there would be an absence of finality to the case." Finally, Vance said that, "By announcing his intent to impose the unconditional discharge, Judge Merchan takes the wind out of Trump’s legal arguments for delaying sentencing."
