I think you might be confusing the sentence with the conviction.  Trump has
been convicted of a felony.  Whether he is sentenced to community service or
jail doesn't alter the felony status of the conviction.

Yeah, I think that is probably part of the "right to a fair trial"
protection.  It would prevent NY from holding someone indefinately without
finally sentencing them.

I have seen Alan use both, and both are true.  Trump was convicted of a
felony.  He has yet to be sentenced but, until/unless the case is appealed
and/or tossed, he is currently convicted of a felony and is therefore a felon.
