Trump's New York sentencing still could happen even after election victory

[Still Waters]

Donald Trump’s return to the White House effectively slammed the door on the two cases involving federal criminal charges against him.

A state case against him for allegedly conspiring to interfere with Georgia’s election in 2020 will go on hold until after his term in office ends - if it's still alive by then.

But next week, the fate of the remaining case – his conviction on 34 felony counts in New York – will be determined. It could stand, or it could be swept away in the same political and legal tide that has  allowed him to escape the others.

“This is truly uncharted territory,” said Anna Cominsky, a professor at the New York Law School.

Donald Trump has won yet another delay in the sentencing of his New York criminal "hush money" case.

The court agreed to hold off any decisions until 19 November while the parties sort out the historic implications of his re-election.

Tuesday's hearing was originally set to decide whether to move ahead with Trump's sentencing or throw out his conviction on 34 felony counts.

Both prosecutors and Trump’s attorneys convinced a judge they needed more time to weigh the “unprecedented circumstances” before any decision about his sentencing could be made.

It's a no brainer that they will be thrown out. 

Teflon Don escapes justice yet again.
