Ray Gulick, he/him/wtf 🇺🇦<p>I always thought <a href="https://social.coop/tags/UnconditionalDischarge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconditionalDischarge</span></a> was something Trump did in his diaper.</p>
Damkina<p>Does <a href="https://mas.to/tags/unconditionaldischarge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unconditionaldischarge</span></a> mean that because he didn’t serge a sentence nor did he pay a fine, he can never have his voting rights restored? He’s STILL convicted and sentenced.</p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>Hey <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JoeBiden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JoeBiden</span></a>. How about an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnconditionalDischarge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconditionalDischarge</span></a> for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeonardPeltier</span></a>, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StevenDonziger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StevenDonziger</span></a>? Or how about all those with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Felony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Felony</span></a> charges for painting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> on some Ivy League university's walls?!</p>
Nonilex<p>Since 2014, ⅓ of defendants sentenced to the most serious charge of falsifying business records in the 1st degree in Manhattan received jail time, amounting to less than a year behind bars.</p><p>Other defendants received prison time — more than a year’s incarceration — or were sentenced to probation, conditional discharges, community service or fines.</p><p>No other defendant in the cases examined received an <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/UnconditionalDischarge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconditionalDischarge</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/unfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unfit</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PresidentScumbag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PresidentScumbag</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RapistInChief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RapistInChief</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a></p>
Nonilex<p>The outcome was expected: Last week, in an 18-page decision, Justice <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Merchan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Merchan</span></a> said that he planned to give <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> an <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/UnconditionalDischarge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnconditionalDischarge</span></a>, writing that it “appears to be the most viable solution to ensure finality.”</p><p>Trump, who was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal, had originally faced probation or up to 4 years in prison, &amp; Justice Merchan had ample ground to consider incarceration.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/unfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unfit</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PresidentScumbag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PresidentScumbag</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RapistInChief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RapistInChief</span></a></p>
