What happens after Trump is convicted?
Judge Juan Merschamp will sentence him, with sentencing set for July 11. That's just days before the Republican National Convention on July 15, where the party will formally nominate Trump as its presidential candidate for the November 5 election. Merschamp said Trump could remain at large until sentencing.
Defendants convicted of felonies are usually sentenced to prison, but the law does not require them to serve their sentences. Especially since the former president is 77 years old, a first-time offender, and has no criminal record, it makes sense to go easy on him. Trump could also be required to pay some form of financial penalty.
How long might Trump be in jail?
Each count is a Class E felony, with a sentence of 1 1/2 to 4 years. Since Trump was convicted of multiple counts, he could be sentenced to serve multiple sentences concurrently, meaning the former president would serve all his sentences at the same time.
