I think procedures for bringing jailed suspects to court for their trials are pretty well established. There would be no reason to defer a contempt sentence.
I think the jailed martyr thing sounds much better in concept than it would be in practice for Trump.
If Trump were to be jailed during the trial, would it continue without him, or be on hold until he's out?
Source of question: profound ignorance of legal proceedings
He would hate it so much! I say if he wants to be a martyr then we let him! Just don't make it a performative thing, a week with no access to social media would be lovely!I think the jailed martyr thing sounds much better in concept than it would be in practice for Trump.
Doh, that makes perfect sense. Thanks. Not sure why it didn't occur to me they could haul him out and back again.He'd be in the cell at Rikers when court wasn't in session.
or leave him in jail and do telepresenceDoh, that makes perfect sense. Thanks. Not sure why it didn't occur to me they could haul him out and back again.
He’s required to be present. He’d just be shuffled back and forth as necessaryIf Trump were to be jailed during the trial, would it continue without him, or be on hold until he's out?

That's essentially what they did for some of the Chicago 7 that were disruptive in their trial (back in 1969 or 70). I'm sure there are established procedures for this, especially in the post-covid era.or leave him in jail and do telepresence

The bond was modified and the court accepted it.So what's the latest with the fraudulent bond? Why aren't Trump's assets being sold?

"Can’t wait to see how the CNN commentators are going to somehow spin Robert Costello’s testimony as devastating for the prosecution when it is an unmitigated disaster for the defense. Almost malpractice to call this unethical clown as a witness"Also this:

Well, both the prosecution and defense had the same issue in finding witnesses to testify - basically everyone closely involved with Trump are unethical clowns. They couldn't and wouldn't stick around Trump if they weren't.
The defense rests.
