The kangaroos were bouncing all over the courthouse today as the derelict judge sentenced president-elect Donald Trump for a series of misdemeanors that were somehow elevated to felony status. The judge sentenced Trump to "unconditional discharge" which seems to mean that there are no penalties, but the conviction stands.
The president is sure to appeal this travesty. Surely, during the appeal process this thing will be tossed, both the trial, the verdict, and the sentence. In a world with accountability, both DA Bragg and the judge would be forced to forfeit their legal licenses and be charged with malfeasance.
I'm not an attorney, but I sat through a lot of court proceedings during my career, and some of the crap I saw in this case would not stand in any decent court with a principled judge.
But, the sentencing phase is done and the case can move forward to the appellate levels where certainly, more reasonable analysis will prevail.
