Convicted felon Donald Trump's decision to attack Justice Merchan (& his daughter) repeatedly & in the most personal terms possible is a bold strategy. Justice Merchan now has complete discretion whether to sentence Trump to probation or imprisonment of up to 4 years. He can consider the contempts.
Appeal cannot be taken until after the sentencing order is entered. I'm confident that the Trump legal team will put out a statement today that they will be appealing the verdict (if they haven't already).
