AfterĀ Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in Manhattan on Thursday, his estranged niece has said he should āabsolutelyā go to jail.
The former president and presumptive 2024Ā Republican presidential nominee was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment made to adult film actressĀ Stormy Daniels during his 2016 election campaign. Trump, who pleaded not guilty, andĀ his allies have repeatedly called the case a form of election interference and, following the juryās verdict, condemned prosecutors and Judge Juan Merchan.
NowĀ Mary Trumpādaughter of Fred Trump Jr.āhas weighed in on the situation. She is aĀ frequent criticĀ of the former president and has publicly criticized him over everything from hisĀ potential second termĀ to hisĀ family history.
Yes but also jail is typically for any sentence shorter than 12 months. Often why youāll see a year and a day sentences, so they go to prison instead of jail.
Ah, OK. I thought Jail was basically just the holding cell at the police station. Can one go to jail even if itās a conviction on a felony?
