Trump shows no emotion after jury declares him guilty.
Welcome to Boston Post News, where we bring you the latest updates on the legal battles surrounding former President Donald Trump. In a dramatic turn of events, Judge Juan Merchan delivered a somber verdict, convicting Trump on all 34 counts in his New York criminal trial. As the jury’s decision was read out loud, Trump remained stoic and showed no outward reaction.
Despite the convictions, Trump vehemently protested, calling the trial a disgrace and labeling the judge as corrupt. He expressed his belief that the verdict would ultimately be decided by the people in the upcoming election.
Renowned legal analyst, Turley, voiced his disagreement with the verdict, predicting that it would be overturned on appeal. He criticized the trial as a politically motivated attack on Trump and highlighted the potential for the case to be reexamined in the legal system.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought forth serious charges against Trump, accusing him of falsifying business records in the first degree. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 4 years, posing a potential cumulative sentence of 136 years for the former president.
The sentencing is scheduled for July 11, a mere four days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump is anticipated to clinch the nomination as the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
At the heart of the prosecution’s case is the allegation that Trump falsified records to cover up a payment to Stormy Daniels, a prominent adult film star. The $130,000 payment was purportedly made to silence Daniels about an alleged affair with Trump in 2006, just before the 2016 presidential election.
As the legal battle unfolds, the future remains uncertain for the former president. Stay tuned to Boston Post News for further developments and insights into this high-profile trial.
