PUMP IT INTO MY VEINS!!!

This article does a poor job describing the sentencing compared to the Guardian, which happened to be the one I read:

The immediate next question is: what punishment should the former US president receive?

It’s a decision that rests entirely with Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing the case. The crimes Trump has been found guilty of, falsifying business records in the first degree, are class E felonies in New York, the least serious category, and punishable by up to four years in prison. His sentencing is set for 11 July.

But Trump is unlikely to be sentenced to prison, experts say. He is a first-time offender, and the crime he has been found guilty of is a non-violent paper crime.

Emphasis mine.

Unfortunate, considering there seems to be almost no chance of the more serious trials being done before November.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A New York jury has found Donald Trump guilty on felony charges of falsifying business records, marking the first time a former U.S. president has ever been convicted of a crime.

The verdict is being read in the Manhattan courtroom where Trump has been on trial since April 15.

He pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made by his former lawyer Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election.

The jury reached its verdict after 9.5 hours of deliberations, which began Wednesday.

The historic conviction comes as Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president.

This is a developing story.
