This is John Batts, a conversation with colleague Andrew McCarthy of National Review online,

about the language that is particular to conviction, felony conviction in the United States.

Former President Trump often referred to by his opponents in the campaign trail

until the sentence is passed by the trial judge. That has not happened yet in the

conviction in the Manhattan courtroom.
