Interesting. As much as Trump has been trying to paint Merchan as totally corrupt, he’s actually shown significantly more leeway than I think he would show any other defendant. When it came to the contempt charges, he specifically stated that he didn’t want to jail Trump because he was a former president and current candidate. With that in mind, I would be shocked if he chooses to jail Trump during the appeals process.
