0:50Now PlayingA jury in former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial took just two days to reach a historic verdict: guilty on all 34 counts. Trump immediately vowed to contest the verdict, saying the fight was “long from over.” Under New York law he can only appeal his conviction after he is sentenced.
The first step would be a Manhattan appeals court. Eventually his challenge could make its way to New York’s Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court in Albany; Trump could eventually ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in. After Thursday’s verdict, judge Merchan rejected a bid by defense lawyer Todd Blanche to set aside Trump’s conviction.
It will be up to Merchan or a Manhattan appeals court to decide whether Trump can remain free while he appeals. While criminal defendants in New York state can typically be jailed while the appeals process plays out, that would not necessarily apply to Trump because he’s charged with a non-violent, white-collar crime.
