Probably. That’s all the prosecution proposed, and Merchan would show bias if he raised the stakes. Merchan will likely propose a steeper fine for future violations.
I believe you’re right. It’s pretty ridiculous how cheap it is, though. They really ought to bring charges for witness tampering and intimidation, but I doubt that will happen.

And stinky diaper man-child is really hoping for a couple of days jail time he can fund raise off
To add: someone had the brilliant idea to sentence him to 40 hours community service in liew of 30 days jail time
Oh to see that fucker wearing an orange jumpsuit, picking up trash by the side of the road!

How many bibles does he need to sell for each contempt charge?
