Why wouldn't Judge Juan Merchan finish the job and add to the left's glee in calling Donald Trump a "convicted felon" by sentencing him to jail? That fact that Trump's sentencing is on July 11, mere days before the Republican National Convention, would not impede a judge who, according to Trump attorney Alina Habba, covered his mouth to laugh during his sentencing. It would be no impediment to the hand-picked jurist who allowed prosecutors to hide the underlying "crime" for the entire trial, hide witnesses, and overrule the majority of the defense objections in this goat rodeo.
What would stop him from jailing Trump?
The case has horrified believers in the rule of law, without which you cannot have a civil society. It has horrified people who barely paid attention to the trial but gave this judge the benefit of the doubt. Tens of millions of Americans know that this trumped-up case means prosecutors wouldn't hesitate to do the same to them.
Nobody is above the law, but Donald Trump is under it, as has been stated a lot recently with good reason.
Obama's former Svengali, David Axelrod, told HBO's Bill Maher that he didn't think it was a wise idea to put Trump in jail because "it would be worrisome for our country" and "MAGA nation would go nuts."
"I think there is something about jailing a former president, especially on something like this [and] worrisome for our country," he gamely said. "And I would really be shocked if this judge gave him a prison sentence for this." We'll wait for Axelrod's look of surprise when Trump is sentenced to jail.

I wouldn't rule out Merchan ordering Trump to jail immediately although I think it is more likely he will either sentence him to prison but allow him to remain free on bond until the appeals are exhausted, or restrict his ability to travel (perhaps having to get permission from a probation officer every time he wants to leave Manhattan).
He has been convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying business records when (1) they were not falsified, (2) he didn't do the entries personally, (3) these were misdemeanors for which the statute of limitations had expired, and (4) Bragg had rejected the idea of prosecution until Trump announced he was running for President.
Bob Costello pointed out that Bragg withheld exculpatory evidence from the grand jury in order to get the indictment.
You miss the point - the law is what they say it is, not what the law says.
The conversion was done by Bragg to bring the case.
Society is now lawless - which is part of the Plan to destroy the USA. All is going swimmingly.
In case you are interested in History, the origin of this current push began under Noxious Nixon and his quest to make Alaskan Aboriginal management into regular case law. Hardly any one outside of the people in WA state and Alaska paid any attention. That was largely due to the managed news of the time.

But they are. Saw a poll that 50% of Americans think DJT got a fair trail ...
So is it a law he broke or something to do with generally accepted accounting standards?
To talk about this show trial like it was in anyway legitimate is foolish and harmful....
There’s always a breaking point-—what that is, I’m not 100% sure.
Trump in jail will get the same response from the indolent serfs that the continuing J6 and FACE imprisonments have gotten...
Crickets...
And, what will the Rinos advocate at the convention? If the GOP does not confirm DJT as candidate, the GOP is dead.
And, if that happens, we have only the third box to fix things.
No one goes to jail on a. class E felony. That said , Merchan gives Trump 6 months. The left wants a bad reaction from the MAGA crowd. Our reaction is very 8mportant. They are fuming at the financial outpouring for DJT right now.
I agree, they are trying to get a reaction that they can put all over the news. If they don’t get one they will be forced to make up some more fake ones which will discredit them even more, if that is possible.
