Yale law professor reveals why Trump isn't a convicted felon despite guilty verdict

A professor at Yale Law has claimed Trump is not a convicted felon despite his recent guilty verdict in New York.

Jed Rubenfeld, 65, made the statement this week on his podcast, 'Straight Down the Middle.'

Citing state law, he said the ex-president is not a convicted felon until a judge enters a judgment of guilty at his sentencing.

The 2024 Republican presumptive nominee is set to be sentenced on July 11, potentially sending him to prison right in time for the Republican National Convention.

In the meantime, Rubenfeld described several 'avenues' Trump's attorneys could take to make that not happen  - like suing in federal court to stop the conviction.

'If you've been reading about this case - that Trump is already a convicted felon, the jury has convicted him, he's a convicted felon - well, guess what: that's not true,' the legal expert began. 

'You're not a convicted felon because of a jury verdict. You're not convicted unless the judge enters a judgment of guilt against you.'   

He reiterated: 'The judge still has the power, as I told you before, to throw out that verdict and enter a judgment of acquittal.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
