So, let’s just assume GZ is found guilty. What happens from there? Is he taken directly to jail? Howl long before an appeal?
He will be taken directly to jail, where he will be promptly “shanked for Trayvon”.
It is up to the judge - she has the ability to allow him to stay out on bond pending sentencing, but she wouldn't do that. If they file an appeal right away, they could get the appellate court to grant an appeal bond that would let him stay out until the appeal is heard.
