Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial considers tossing felony conviction after election win

The Manhattan judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s “hush money” criminal trial is expected to announce next week if the president-elect’s historic felony conviction will still stand. NY Post writer Brian Faas shares this story.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan had already delayed sentencing by more than four months to come after the election — and gave himself until next Tuesday to decide if the conviction should be tossed.

[barriecooke]

What kind of judge is this, a weasel?? Justice is Justice and he should be charged no matter what.

[ralphferley]

He is technically NOT "convicted" until a sentence has been issued, all the outlets saying he is a convict are or should be sued for slander and liable. He should sue them into bankruptcy

[rhapsidyb]

I want that woman arrested for false accusations. ON AIR.

[stevenwinterhill]

It's time to put the judge in prison for allowing the case to even proceeded.

[denize]

They may as well toss it-it’s going to be overturned on appeal anyway.

[nakoahumphrey]

Why if he’s guilty he’s guilty even if he’s president give me a break. America is disgraceful, they talk about other countries when they are the worse country
