I really hope Judge Merchan goes hard on the sentencing due to trumps public actions afterwards.
Not just afterwards, but during as well. How many times was he held in contempt, warned, etc. And after Trump got nervous that he was going too far, he enlisted others to carry on attacks against the judge, prosecutors, jury, etc.
IMHO (not a lawyer) I think the judge would be well within his rights to throw the book at Trump for all his behavior.
