Well no more fact checkers....

No. In EVERY state, when a finding of guilt by jury, by plea or by bench trial (judge only) is reached, the defendant is "convicted". The sentencing phase which follows is an entirely separate hearing, usually set for a future date so that a presentence report can be done by probation and given to the judge, defense counsel and the PA, and victim impact statements submitted to the court for consideration. Some victims choose to speak at sentencing. This procedure is uniform across the country. NY is no different. I have 31 years' experience as an Adult Probation Officer. Trust me!
Whether the conviction is overturned remains to be seen.

PS - Trump has already been sentenced: to "unconditional discharge", essentially nothing . . .

The links you cite have information which was correct - THEN! However, on 1/10/25 Trump was sentenced by Judge Merchan, having been denied the motion to dismiss the guilty verdict. Normally, criminal defendants do not have a legal right to appeal their verdicts until a final judgement is entered against them, but Merchan allowed it, citing the unprecedented nature of the case. In criminal law, a final judgement must include the defendant's sentence. Accordingly, Merchan moving forward with the sentencing was favorable to Trump because it would result in a final judgement against him - which made it possible for him to properly appeal his CONVICTION.
Other than winning at appeal, there is no mechanism, which can ever erase his 34-count felony conviction or free him from the limitations and restrictions attached to a convicted felon by the State of NY.

Well META has given in to the right wingers and no longer fact check posts. So yet another source misinformation is coming online. The Devil and his demons is winning the fight against the truth.

What is the point of having things if they are not reliable getting the true facts? It looks we are going into the age of false information and that we are to guess at what is the true information.

Do you have a problem discerning fact from fiction?

That was my point. The thread that I posted and you quoted was posted prior to the judge accepting the guilty verdict and pronounced sentence. So was correct at the time of posting, I am not saying it didn't change at a later date, But at the time I posted was correct.
