The sentencing hearing will likely be much less dramatic than Donald Trump’s days in court during the trial, which was filled with star witnesses and enemies from his past.

During the proceedings, both sides get the opportunity to speak. That includes president-elect Trump, former Brooklyn prosecutor Julie Rendelman says.

Then, she says, the judge will speak and render his sentencing decision.

She expects Justice Juan Merchan to use the time to share his thoughts on Trump’s conviction and behaviour during the trial.

For context, Trump was slapped with a gag-order during the trial, and was fined for breaching it.

“I think he (Merchan) is going to speak, but he’s always pretty even-tempered. So, I think he’s going to just talk about what came before him,” Rendelman says.
