Four in 10 U.S. voters believe former President Trump should receive jail time for his hush money conviction, though this sentiment varies at the party level, according to a new poll.
A survey from Emerson College Polling, released Thursday, found 40 percent of registered voters think Trump should be sentenced to prison, while 25 percent said he should pay a fine and 15 percent said probation. Twenty percent were unsure.
Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a felony on May 30, when he was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money case. The charges were in connection with reimbursements made to Trump’s former fixer and onetime attorney, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged past affair.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 11, though incarceration would be a rare punishment for a first-time offender convicted of Trump’s charges in New York.

Well of all those reasons, the only one that seems like it carries any legal weight is the unprecedented use of a federal law as a predicate under NY state law. All the other stuff is pretty weak.
That’s your opinion
Which is supported by facts.
I can say the same thing
Then we’ll see, won’t we. I wouldn’t get your hopes up, though.
They may end up calling a mistrial sooner than later. Evidently some new information has come to light concerning one of jurors. The New York Supreme Court just contacted the judge about it

Edit: saw it. I think we’re going to need more than a random Facebook troll to bring about a mistrial.
You’re so smart! We’re a so impressed!
What’s this information you certified genius?
