WesNEW YORK, Jan 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will not go to jail or face any other punishment for his criminal conviction stemming from hush money paid to a porn star, a judge ruled on Friday but said Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration would not erase the jury verdict.
Justice Juan Merchan's sentencing of Trump, 78, to unconditional discharge places a judgment of guilt on his record and closes a case that had loomed over Trump's bid to retake the White House.
milkmanCharlie Sykes, what planet do you live on?
You say Trump was "sentenced" today. But was he?
When the "sentence" contains no jail time, fines, probation or ANYTHING, I question if it's a sentence at all. "Unconditional release" doesn't sound like a sentence to me.
Trump was not held "accountable" in any way. He was held above the law, because lots of people, inexplicably, voted for him to be our President AND he is a vindictive narcissist who holds grudges.
I'm embarrassed for America and her judicial system.

Inside that shell of an old, white, fat man with ridiculous hair implants you can easily see the 6 yo shouting in an uncontrollable rage.
Words and phrases like "fake charges", "baseless", and "illegal are beyond his understanding.

'There is no case, there never was a case': Trump snaps after becoming a felon
Donald Trump gloated on social media after successfully avoiding jail time for his felony convictions.New York justice Juan Merchan granted the president-elect an unconditional discharge for his 34 convictions by a jury for falsifying business records, making clear the sentence would have been more ...
Carole (Ducky)Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass not mincing his words in condemning Trump’s behaviour & rhetoric.
Very sad day for America.
Another clear demonstration that we have abandoned the principle that no one is above the law.
Trump is convicted of 34 felonies, threatened the judge, jurors, prosecutors, and witnesses and given NO PUNISHMENT.
The major news media are bending over backward to paint this as a validation of our judicial system somehow and an appropriate sentence for a President-Elect.
But it's just a horrible embarrassment.
