A New York jury's historic conviction of Donald Trump on felony charges means his fate is now in the hands of the judge he's repeatedly ripped as 'corrupt' and 'incompetent.' Two experts told NBC News that it's unlikely Trump will be imprisoned based on his age, lack of a criminal record and other factors — and an analysis of thousands of cases found that very few people charged with the same crime receive jail time.
Kuby added that he believes 'it is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time,' despite the logistical and practical complications that locking up a person with Secret Service protection would entail. The lawyer said that's because the criminal scheme went on for over a year, and included a number of bad acts on Trump's part. “It’s an entire course of conduct he was involved with — not just one bad decision,” Kuby said.
