(T)his Court finds that the People have established the elements of criminal contempt beyond a reasonable doubt. This Court’s Expanded Order is lawful and unambiguous. Defendant violated the Order by making public statements about the jury and how it was selected. In doing so, Defendant not only called into question the integrity, and therefore the legitimacy of these proceedings, but again raised the specter of fear for the safety of the jurors and of their loved ones. Such concerns undoubtedly threaten to “interfere with the fair administration of justice and constitutes a direct attack on the Rule of Law.” Expanded Order pg. 3. It remains this Court’s fundamental responsibility to protect the decency of the criminal process and to control disruptive influences in the courtroom. Expanded Order pg. 3. See Sheppard u. Maxwell,384 U.S. 333 U966i4.

The Court finds Defendant in criminal contempt for willfully disobeying a lawful mandate of this Court in violation of Judiciary Law Section 750(3).

PUNISHMENT AND ORDER

As stated in its Decision and Order of April 30,2024, criminal contempt is punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000, by jail not exceeding 30 days or by both in the discretion of the court. Judiciary Law $ 751(1). The Judiciary Law permits this punishment “to protect the dignity of the judicial system and to compel respect for its mandates,” Matter of McCorrnick, 59 NY2d 57411983) and “to punish the contemnor for disobeying a court order.” Rash u. Saue M1 Home Corp.,145 AD3d 930 [2.d Dept 2016]. Because the offensive statement was made prior to this Court’s Decision of April 30 and because the People are seeking only a monetary fine, the Court will, once again, fine Defendant $1,000. However, because this is now the tenth time that this Court has found Defendant in criminal contempt, spanning three separate motions, it is apparent that monetary fines have no’., and will not, suffice to deter Defendant from violating this Court’s lawful orders.

THEREFORE, Defendant is hereby put on notice that if appropriate and warranted, future violations of its lawful orders will be punishable by incarceration;

and it is hereby ORDERED, that Defendant pay a $1,000 fine for his violation of this Court’s lawful order by the close of business on Friday, May 10, 2024;

and it is further ORDERED that if the offending statement has been posted to Defendant’s Truth Social account or his official campaign website, it is to be removed by 2:15 pm Monday, May 6, 2024.

All Donny VonShitzinPantz has to do is keep his mouth shut - stop talking to the press and putting his foot in his mouth, but then, he is a narcissist and needs the attention of his cult. He plays the victim so well.

I really hope the judge is dumb enough to lock him up... his support would skyrocket even more. These people are too stupid if they think these courthouse clown shows are going to convince people to run from Trump. What's the definition of insanity again?

See, this is how I know you're in a cult. Trump breaks the law and you think it's a great thing because it will help get him elected.

He continues to break the law and your reaction is to hope he continues since it will get him back in the White House. Rather than have respect for the law, you want a person that has no respect for the law to be president? Seriously?

Today is the day that Stormy takes the stand!

So exciting!! What relative information can she provide when it comes to the actual charges?

We shall see. She would not have been called if her testimony were not relevant.

Is that what your cult and sources think?

That's what common sense and legal precedent says. Each witness has to have some relevance to the case in order to be called to testify.

Wow, the desperation and projection are strong in this one... lol!

I think they are upset that their messiah may be found guilty.

I do think that this whole trial will end in a hung jury and Donny VonShitzinPantz will claim victory, at least until the case is tried again.
