NYS Judge Juan Merchan and daughter Lauren.
NYS Penal Law Section 65.20
Sentence of unconditional discharge
Criteria. The court may impose a sentence of unconditional discharge in any case where it is authorized to impose a sentence of conditional discharge under section 65.05 if the court is of the opinion that no proper purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon the defendant's release. When a sentence of unconditional discharge is imposed for a felony, the court shall set forth in the record the reasons for its action.
Sentence. When the court imposes a sentence of unconditional discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision. A sentence of unconditional discharge is for all purposes a final judgment of conviction.
Between NYS Judge Juan Merchan and ex-USAG Merrick Garland, we have Trumpf 2.0.
Muchas gracias, Juan y Merrick!
