    Navarro appealed his conviction immediately after sentencing.

    Anyone know if he will begin serving time immediately or if he’s free until his appeals run out? I know if you or I were sentenced, we’d go straight to jail, but that doesn’t seem to happen for the ruling class.

      Story time:

      Years ago, I interned with the local sheriff’s office. I spent most of my time there with the warrant team. They went out and arrested people with outstanding warrants. In doing so, I learned that after sentencing the convicted person voluntarily report to prison. They had to process a number of people who were sentenced to prison but never reported.

      I, like you, expected people to be transferred from court to prison after sentencing. That was a shocking revelation for me.
