It's an indication that we're not "sending our best"
I would like to formally and publicly apologize to Juror #2 for the aspersions I had cast upon his character. I am sorry for doubting you and your motives, Juror #2.

So... is there a minimum sentence here? If so, what is it?
Judge set the sentencing hearing for July 11, so it'll be a bit before we know the final details.
Right, but we should know just based on what laws he was found guilty of violating what the minimum sentences for violating them are (if there are minimums).

IANAL, but If I'm understanding this correctly, because he was found guilty of class E felonies, there is technically a minimum of 1 year in prison, but if the court:
is of the opinion that a sentence of imprisonment is necessary but that it would be unduly harsh to impose an indeterminate or determinate sentence, the court may impose a definite sentence of imprisonment and fix a term of one year or less.
Which seems like an alternative minimum. It seems like there will be additional evaluations as part of sentencing, which may or may not be postponed by appeals. He may get up to 4 years per count (which I'm assuming would be concurrent), maybe 1, maybe less if the court finds that it would be harsh to do so.

🤏🖐️👌 I tell ya folks we have the most perfect verdicts!!!! Beautiful verdicts! 🖐️👌
Get fucked loser, CONVICTED FELON DONALD J TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
a new meaning to rule 34
lock him up!
While I'm extremely happy, I'm exhausted and lost all faith that he will be held accountble for anything.
He will appeal on others money and then somehow all the republicans in there twisted hate of their fellow Americans will somehow get him elected and then he will wipe all punishments for him and all his other insurrectionists. Start a civil war, destroy any progress on saving the planet start ww3 or nuclear war...
I used to be optimistic now I'm depressed as the ruling class burns us all to the ground
Hey exhausted lemming! I get you. I really do. But try and look at it this way. Two years ago I would have said he would never be charged with a crime. A year ago I would have said he'd never see a court room. And yesterday, I was convinced that one MAGA in the jury would be enough to get a hung jury. But here we are. So I'll be very surprised if Trump sees a single day in jail, but I've gone from pessimistic depression to cautious optimism. I hope you get some relief, too.

I am here. I am happy.
Definitely an appeal incoming. No way it gets overturned before the election, right?
