Subject: Re: Why didn't judge Merchan impose a fine?
It might specifically violate some provision of the NY criminal rules of procedure, which probably don't contemplate a four year delay between verdict and sentencing. But even if it doesn't, that's something that probably has never happened before.

A 4 year delay between trial and sentencing would FOR SURE violate the 6th amendment. Somebody would have to argue with a straight face that the "sentencing" was severed from the trial phase.
