Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky weighed in on Judge Merchan's decision to delay the sentencing in the case involving Donald Trump. The consensus appears to be that the delay was a prudent move, considering the complexities of the legal process that needed to be addressed before the original sentencing date of September 18th.
Cherkasky highlighted the significance of the immunity decision from the Supreme Court that had to be litigated before the judge, with potential appeals from the defense. The delay was seen as a way to avoid rushed and contentious legal battles before the election, turning the case away from being a political hot-button issue.
