“Merchan, who chastised Blanche for imploring jurors not to send Trump to prison, told the jury that the lawyer's comment was "improper, and you must disregard it."
"If there is a verdict of guilty," the judge added, "it will be up to me to impose a sentence."
He went on to explain that a "prison sentence is not required in the event of a guilty verdict."
