Q: If Trump used money from his charitable foundation for himself (self-dealing), why wasn't he charged with a crime ?
Sergio H. Benavides' answer
Only Congress has the power to prosecute the president, and since Republicans hold the majority power in all three branches of government, they don't want to prosecute the president even if he may be guilty of crimes.

Thomas Joseph Maronick Jr's answer
How long since sentencing? If within 10 days of your trial date you can ask for a new trial. If within 30 days of disposition you can appeal, if within 90 days you can ask for a modification of sentence. Depending on what court you are in, likely will need to file a coram nobis for a new trial opportunity if past the time limits mentioned.

Q: Under what circumstances do corporate accounting errors rise to the level of criminal activity?
Robert Donald Gifford II's answer
Mistakes happen - it's the cover up that becomes the crime. Depending on the nature of the error, it's always better to correct immediately. If there is a reporting requirement (shareholders, SEC, etc.), then don't hesitate. There may ( or may not) be a civil/administrative fine later, but that is the cost of doing business. It would be advisable to work through an attorney for any self-reporting to ensure there are no miscommunications and that something civil doesn't become criminal....

Q: Can someone be criminally charged for knowingly writing bad checks to a business?
Robert Donald Gifford II's answer
Most states have a "bogus check" or "hot check" charge - it's no different than a type of fraud. If you have any checks that bounce, it's better to be on the front end of it and pay it off immediately. The court costs, conviction and restitution is not worth "hanging paper."

William Head's answer
If at the Court of Appeals, 10 days to file notice of seeking certiorari to the Georgia Supreme Court.
Possible other path to federal court, but too complicated and rare to discuss, and is limited to some special, federal issues.
As far as altering a sentence after remittitur to the trial court, good luck. Not been something I have ever had happen.
