Donald Trump has had plenty to say since his hush money trial conviction last week. What he hasn’t done is utter any variation of the words that might benefit him most come sentencing time next month: “I’m sorry.”

    Taking responsibility for your actions is a big part of sentencing. That’s why people who plea guilty get reduced sentences.

      Well, not entirely. The other part is it’s far less expensive for the government.

      Jury trials are expensive. A quick court hearing is not nearly as expensive.
