NonilexSince 2014, ⅓ of defendants sentenced to the most serious charge of falsifying business records in the 1st degree in Manhattan received jail time, amounting to less than a year behind bars.Other defendants received prison time — more than a year’s incarceration — or were sentenced to probation, conditional discharges, community service or fines.No other defendant in the cases examined received an <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/UnconditionalDischarge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnconditionalDischarge</a>.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#criminal</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/unfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unfit</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PresidentScumbag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PresidentScumbag</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/RapistInChief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RapistInChief</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>
