    Article on Trump's felony case...

    Start:
    On May 30, 2024, Donald Trump pulled off a historic first: he became the first former president of the United States to be found guilty of felony crimes. However, it's inaccurate to say that he's a convicted felon at this time because, well, that's just not how the law was designed. While he's guilty in his infamous hush money trial, the "convicted felon" title is still pending.

    Donald Trump's sentencing is set for July 11, 2024, just days before the Republican National Convention kicks off. So, we're in this strange limbo where he's guilty of felony crimes but not quite a convicted felon — at least not until he gets his official sentence. During sentencing, the judge will decide his fate, which could range from a slap on the wrist to time behind bars. Trump's crimes fall under the Class E felony category in New York, which is the lowest level of felony in the state. He could face a fine, probation, or up to four years in prison.

    You should read a little more and inform yourself. If you made these kinds of claims in the 80's and 90's I'd understand... But my God... The Internet debunks most of what you say in seconds....

    Did Trump vote as a convicted felon?

    "*Yes*. Trump resides in Florida, where it is usually difficult to vote as a convicted felon. However, for those convicted in other states, it defers to the laws of the state in which the individual was prosecuted.

    "CNN reports Trump was allowed to vote in Palm Beach under a 2021 New York law granting people convicted of felons the right to vote as long as they aren't incarcerated at the time of the election."

    I have posted this to you 3 or 4 times.

    Is there something there you don't understand??

    Lets not get to deep into the weeds because if you don't understand this... everything else is pointless.

    Please explain yourself.

    I didn't want to add a second item so as I might confuse you.

    Here is a lawyer explaining that Judges can throwout jury convictions, not if they are found innocent but if they are found guilty.

    This is why it takes the final judges sentencing to seal the deal.

    This is some of the most remedial aspects to US law... I'm sure you should have taken it in Civics class...
