After Sexting Sentencing, What’s Next For Former Congressman Anthony Weiner?

GET SENTENCED IN THAT SEXTING CASE.
THE FORMER NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN HAS BEEN ISSUED TO 21 MONTHS FOR
SENDING INAPPROPRIATE TEXT MESSAGES TO AN UNDERAGED GIRL.
THIS IS PART OF THE SEXTING SCANDAL THAT WAS A HUGE ISSUE IN
THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL RACE. I WANT TO BRING IN NOW OUR NBC
LEGAL ANALYST, DANNY SOVALIS. DANNY, THIS IS JUST HAPPENING IN
THE LAST COUPLE MINUTES HERE, 21 MONTH MONTHS FOR ANTHONY WEINER,
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE-AWAY? >> 21 MONTHS WAS ON THE
STIPULATED LOW END OF THE GUIDELINES, 21 TO 27 MONTHS.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW HARSH THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES ARE
FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY-LIKE CASES, IN THIS CASE, ANTHONY
WEINER'S SENTENCING GUIDELINES ACTUALLY EXSEATED THE STATUTORY
MAXIMUM. WHICH IN THIS CASE WOULD BE 120
MONTHS. YOU DO THE MATH, THAT IS TEN
YEARS. BUT THAT GIVES YOU THE IDEA, YOU
RACK UP THE POINTS IN THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES WHEN IT
COMES TO USING A COMPUTER, THE AGE OF THE VICTIM, ALL OF THOSE
THINGS. SO IN THIS CASE, EVEN THE
GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED THAT A RANGE OF 21 TO 27 MONTHS WAS
REASONABLE, ANTHONY WEINER ENDED UP WITH THE LOW END OF THAT
RANGE, WHICH WOULD LIKELY BE REASONABLE ON APPEAL.
>> SO NUMBER ONE, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
IS HE GOING TO APPEAL? NUMBER TWO, WHERE DOES HE GO?
IT IS FEDERAL PRISON, RIGHT? >> HE SHOULD GET -- IN MOST
CASE, YOU WOULD GET REMANDED TO CUSTODY.
BECAUSE HE'S A RELATIVELY LIGHT SENTENCE IN THE WORLD OF FEDERAL
SENTENCING, WHICH USUALLY MEASURES IN YEARS, NOT MONTHS,
YOU CAN FILE A MOTION TO REMAIN OUT PENDING AN APPEAL, BUT HE
PLEADED GUILTY. HE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY, HE WAGED
THE INDICTMENT. HE WILL SERVE THAT TIME.
IN THE FEDERAL SYSTEM IT IS MONTH TO MONTH.
>> FOR ANTHONY WEINER, THE FORMER HUSBAND OF HUMA ABEDIN,
HILLARY CLINTON'S RIGHT-HAND WOMAN.
THIS PLAYED OUT IN A POLITICAL SENSE IN 2016 AS WELL.
>> IT SURE DID. THAT IS IN WHAT IS FILED BY
ANTHONY WEINER'S ATTORNEYS. IT FACTORED IN AND IT IS PART OF
THE OVERALL DIALOGUE. AND SOMETHING THAT EVEN THE
JUDGE WOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
I SHOULD ADD ALSO THAT IN THE CASE OF A PLEA AGREEMENT LIKE
THIS, IT'S ONLY LIKELY THAT HE WOULD APPEAL IF THE SENTENCE WAS
UNREASONABLE. BECAUSE HE WAS WITHIN THE
STIPULATED GUIDELINES, IT'S NOT LIKELY THAT THIS APPEALS COURT
WOULD EVER FIND THE SENTENCE UNREASONABLE.

MONTHS IN THAT SEXTING
