Was this a civil suit or criminal charges?
Criminal, I take it because there is a 'sentencing' date set.
This looks like a straight up criminal conviction, on FEDERAL charges, and comes on top of another conviction in which he must serve time. Looks like STORMY weather for el sleazebo Avenatti!
“I’m very disappointed in the jury’s verdict,” Avenatti told reporters outside the federal courtroom in New York. “I’m looking forward to a full adjudication of all the issues on appeal.”
U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman ordered Avenatti to surrender Monday to U.S. marshals in California. Avenatti has delayed serving a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for his 2020 conviction in an extortion case while waiting for the book proceeds trial and the retrial of a fraud case in a California federal court.
Sentencing was set for May 24. Prosecutors said it was likely that Daniels will speak at sentencing."
So, to address TChad, it's all Federal, so Biden will get to pardon Avenatti.
