    It’s 4 years per conviction.

        This is a state court. That being said, the crimes are also class E white collar felonies, which almost always elicit a concurrent sentence and little to no time in an actual prison. That being said, it’s at the judge’s discretion and he is allowed to consider trump’s behavior throughout the duration of the trial and after as factors in his sentencing. I’m not saying the judge will give him 136 years in prison (but that would be hilarious), I think it’ll probably be more like 4 years concurrent on house arrest or something like that.

          He’s also going to be considering “pillar of the community” bullshit, as well as the whole “will me giving what he deserves give justification for overturning my sentencing” bullshit.

          Most likely, Merchan will give the precisely normal sentence- which doesn’t include jail time.
