Andy McCarthy: Trump ‘Is Not a Convicted Felon’ Because Judgement Is Not Entered Until He Is Sentenced, and as Long as Cases Are Frozen

TRANSCRIPT:

MCCARTHY: “Yeah, I just think one point that we’re missing here is that Trump is not a convicted felon. Technically, the judgment of conviction is not entered until he’s sentenced. And I think one of the reasons that they asked for the delay in the first place is they’re hoping to get the case thrown out by Merchan without ever having a judgment of conviction entered. The whole point of the motion to dismiss or the motion to vacate the convictions was that he never become a convicted felon in the first place. And as long as this is frozen, technically he’s not a convicted felon, even though, you know, rhetorically he’s addressed that way.”
