    He was informed of the potential repercussions in the first hearing. It was the second of two hearings when Merchan said while he was reluctant to put a former president in jail, but continued acts would leave him no choice. That was the end of the violations.

    I’d love to see him in jail, or better yet, prison, but it’s not worth compromising the judges ruling into bias.
