re: #185 lawhawk

I’m going to split the difference. Assuming he is found guilty, which I believe is more likely than not, I’d say he gets 4-6 months in prison. I don’t know what the New York state sentencing guidelines look like for the crimes in question, but I just don’t see the judge throwing the book at a high-profile rich white man who is a first-time offender. However, on the other hand, I also don’t think Judge Merchan is going to pull any punches. He’s been incredibly patient with the gag order violations, but it’s clear his patience is at an end.
