Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman breaks down three broad possible conclusions the jury could reach.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump with attorney Todd Blanche speaks to the media during his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments, at Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday in New York City.The hush money trial against former President Donald Trump is nearing its end, but the jury has yet to decide Trump’s fate.
That’s because sentencing hearings are typically scheduled a few months after the verdict. Litman says even if Judge Juan Merchan chooses to give Trump a couple months in prison, it wouldn’t happen right away. If found guilty, Trump would very likely appeal the decision and any jail time would be stayed while the appeal works its way through the courts, which could take years.2. It’s a hung jury
“I think they will retry it, but not until after the election. And of course, once the election happens, all bets are off.” Litman also points out that Trump might be able to play a mistrial to his advantage and spin it as a victory. Trump has continually claimed, without evidence, that this case is a “witch hunt,” is politically motivated, and is the Democrats’ attempt at interfering with his campaign.
