Trump 'could get a taste of his own medicine' if he appeals felony sentencing

Raw Story  

Judge Juan Merchan has set the sentencing date for Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts for July 11 and, should the former president decide to appeal the Manhattan jurist's ruling, it could set in motion a process that will blow up in his face. As Pagliery noted, delaying the legal process is a well-known Trump tactic, meaning the former president is poised to get a "taste of his own medicine" that could disrupt his election plans. "The irony is that Trump—who has always employed delay tactics to slow down the many legal actions against him, for sexually abusing a journalist, defrauding banks, faking business records, and so much more, " Pagliery wrote before adding, "Merchan set sentencing for July 11, just three days past the First Judicial Department deadline to receive the basic appeal paperwork. Nobody is generally in a rush to decide matters unless it’s something like a voting matter,” stated former Judge Alan David Marrus, with Pagliery adding, "Marrus noted that appellate courts sometimes expedite cases when considering election laws, like issues that relate to voter access, districting, or candidate qualifications.
