Sentencing scheduled for July 11.

This has an interesting potential given that the RNC Convention will be in Milwaukee, WI July 15, 2024.

They'll appeal. This guy won't be in jail for the election.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 10 points 7 months ago

Not sure what that has to do with the potential for shenanigans given the public news of a sentencing date being 4 days before the nominating convention, but ok.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 7 points 7 months ago

An appeal will take months. It won't be handled before July.

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago

Doubtful this would get jail time anyways

Milwaukeeans were already not going to be happy to deal with these people. If the event gets extra putschy now... uff da.
