  11. N.Y. Penal Law § 65.20 1. Criteria. The court may impose a sentence of unconditional discharge in any case where it is authorized to impose a sentence of conditional discharge under section 65.05 if the court is of the opinion that no proper purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon the defendant's release. 2. Sentence. When the court imposes a sentence of unconditional discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision. A sentence of unconditional discharge is for all purposes a final judgment of conviction. N.Y. Penal Law § 65.20

  20.  @SOGtv-76  In New York State, you can appeal a guilty verdict within 30 days from the date of sentencing or the service of an order not included in the judgment. Based on the above, the clock starts for appeal, not after guilty verdict, but after sentencing, which will be officially Jan 10th.

  21.  @SOGtv-76  Donald Trump will be able to appeal the New York state verdict after sentencing. His legal team has already indicated plans to pursue appellate options. This means that even after the sentencing, Trump can challenge the verdict in higher courts, seeking to overturn or modify the decision. - USA TODAY

  23.  @blutongue1  those three represent a professional class of politician that DJT does not belong to. He's the outsider who came in an won. They hate him, hold the power of the court system and went after him. It's call "lawfare" and what got him elected. Obama responsible for the death of an American citizen, a teenager, but he is protected. The Biden family clearly used the executive office to enrich themselves, but are protected by their class. Kamala is an empty suit, nothing, a puppet.

  27.  @lise1255  Hyper-Empathy is deadly and creates counter-incentives for behavior. This is why San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego are all looking at these incentives and re-thinking them. Here in Los Angeles Country we just fired the Soros backed DA. Look at Canada, they are about to make a big swing from the left to center-right. Woke is dead.

  28.  @lise1255  nonsense. The dollar is the reserve capital for the world which is way Britain and Japan purchase our debt. Homelessness in the UK analysis found that one in every 200 households in the UK is experiencing homelessness. This means the UK has one of the highest rates of homelessness among developed countries. "The US per capita homelessness rate as of 2023 was approximately 19.4 people experiencing homelessness per 10,000 population" - U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH)
