      Most likely $1,000 per violation, or $3,000. Seems like a cheap cost to slander and intimidate witnesses against you.

        Probably. That’s all the prosecution proposed, and Merchan would show bias if he raised the stakes. Merchan will likely propose a steeper fine for future violations.

          I believe you’re right. It’s pretty ridiculous how cheap it is, though. They really ought to bring charges for witness tampering and intimidation, but I doubt that will happen.

          I’d like to see the fine double per incident.

        Jail up to 30 days per incident is possible, but realistically it needs to be gradually assessed after fines first

        And stinky diaper man-child is really hoping for a couple of days jail time he can fund raise off

          I would imagine the judge admonishes him and threatens jail time for the next offense. But I agree with you, the man-baby wants to be thrown in jail so he can cry about how unfair it all is.

        Yeah, New York caps contempt charges at $1000 per violation, and/or up to 30 days in jail. And no judge wants to be the first one to throw him in jail for contempt. So he just keeps getting small fines which he is (at least on paper, but that’s what the entire trial is focused on) easily capable of paying.

        That’s a bit harsh for masturbating while accidentally still on a zoom call.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
