The maximum sentence for falsification of business records is four years’ imprisonment.
The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s historic criminal conviction in New York now faces a monumental choice: whether to sentence the 2024 Republican presidential candidate to time behind bars.
“But everything about Trump is different, so I don’t think you can look historically at other sentences because he’s just a different animal,” Weinstein said. Trump, 77, was found guilty of all 34 charges of falsifying his New York-based real estate company’s books to cover up his former lawyer Michael Cohen’s $US130,000 payment to buy porn star Stormy Daniels’ silence about an affair before the 2016 election.
Records maintained by the Manhattan criminal court show that at least four defendants who pleaded guilty to that charge during that period were sentenced to a year or less behind bars. Three of those defendants, unlike Trump, were also charged with crimes such as fraud and grand larceny.
