CNN
The Manhattan District Attorneys Office says it is open to delaying Donald Trumps sentencing to brief his motion to set aside his criminal conviction on business fraud charges in the wake of Mondays Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity.
The prospect of a delay in sentencing means that the former president is likely to escape any concrete punishment for his felony conviction before accepting the Republican presidential nomination later this month, at the same time that Trumps election bid has been boosted by President Joe Bidens debate flop that has Democrats wondering whether to replace their nominee.
Trump is currently scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
Although we believe defendants arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion. We respectfully request a deadline of July 24, 2024two weeks after defendants requested deadlineto file and serve a response, the DA said in a letter Tuesday.

Stick him in prison with no bail while he appeals just like any other common criminal who expresses no remorse.
