    A normal person would’ve been cuffed and led off to the cells pretty much immediately after sentencing, not scheduled a month afterward.

      Not true. It’s a nonviolent crime. House arrest is more common than incarceration while awaiting appeal.

        What are you talking about? Bannon isn’t awaiting trial; he’s been sentenced. It’s right there in the headline, FFS!

            Normal people sit in a cell serving their sentence while awaiting appeal. Only elite fascist fucks get the kid-glove treatment and run around free until the judges can’t come up with a fig leaf to keep entertaining their lawyers’ bullshit motions anymore.

              That’s not the case with most nonviolent crimes. There has to be reason for the judge to think that they’re at risk of committing more crime while awaiting appeal.
