      You’re operating on a fallacy. You can only be tried and convicted once per crime. Every single one is an opportunity for an appeal. Having more just increases the likelihood that there will be at least some possible appeal. The easiest route will probably be an appeal against whatever the sentence itself is once that’s issued, especially if he’s sentenced to serve time. But it doesn’t matter; his lawyers will simply look for every single possible way to delay the process, as they have continuously done.

        Again, he has to have a reason for appeal, what reason do you think he has to appeal? He’s going to appeal but it’s going to get thrown out immediately. He’s in deep shit and he knows it. The only thing that could save him is if he wins the election, which he’s not going to.

          Incorrect. He has to have a reason for the appeal trial to be approved. His lawyers can file an appeal on any grounds they see fit. That then has to be processed, which takes time. But I’ll fall back to the answer that I already gave as well, if he’s given a sentence that includes any sort of time to serve, his lawyers will use that as a basis for appeal, which is clearly stated as a possible reason for an appeal to be approved.
