  • I have a dumb question. Is there any way that this is actually a good thing? I assume that if one is sentenced to prison, they may be ordered to report to prison pending appeal. Then based on the outcome of that [those] appeal[s], they may have to continue being imprisoned or may be released from prison. So if one is sent to prison, there’s a certain chance that they will be out three to six months later, but a lesser chance that they will be out a week later, as I imagine there is a delay for the appeal to be heard.

    Am I just clutching at straws of optimism / I have no idea how any of this works?
