On Trump’s tenth instance of contempt he said that he didn’t want Trump to go to prison. I suspect the judge will issue the maximum fine allowed and no jail time.
The judges in cases against the mafia didn’t chicken out, and those guys killed whoever they could get in their crosshairs. have at least a bit of faith in judges (outside of SCOTUS and Cannon - for obvious reasons), most of them are doing their jobs, just like the DA that got that conviction (lots of people said that he wouldn’t get a conviction with THAT case too)
Well, the judge in THAT case is full maga, so unless the prosecutor gets his shit together and gets her removed from the case, or more correctly, the bench, we’re pretty screwed there.
Jailing someone in the middle of a trial is a hugely disruptive delay. But now the trial is over, and the judge gets to count all ten counts of contempt (so far!) against Trump during sentencing. Trump has also been doing everything that a repentant defendant should not be doing, so even though it’s his first offense, he might get some actual jail time. Not the max, but maybe a few months. Especially if he violates the gag order and goes after the judge of his family again. Or the jurors.
I thought he just said he didn’t want to put Trump in jail for contempt?

I assume he meant jail for contempt, not no jail at all.
Though jailing trump will 100% put the judge’s life in danger.

These are financial crimes and Trump is facing a max of 4 years, and jail time isn’t even certain even if it wasn’t trump.

Trump didn’t do the real crimes like being black and smoking pot.

I will give 2:1 odds up to $1000 that he gets no jail time.
