Stone is such a smart a**.. Him doing the perp walk with handcuffs would have been icing on the cake.

Stone will not be going to prison today. The judge deferred the start of his sentence until she rules on defense efforts to toss trial. If their objections have to do with jurors, it likely won't fly. She spoke highly of jurors service.

That came on Count 1. He got concurrent sentences of 18 months on counts 2-6 and count 7.

(26,758 posts)It isn't unusual for judges to disagree with the prosecution's sentencing recommendations.
The defense recommended a suspended sentence. She didn't agree with that either.
the rescheduling of the judges "emergency meeting". It is worrisome.
