There is still luggage to unpack. Trump was convicted, and that's fine and all, but what of all the people who say the judge was unfair, who say he was biased, who say he was a monetary donor to Joe Biden's campaign? What of Fox News's Jesse Watters saying that everytime the defense raise an objection it was overruled?
Judge Juan Merchan did contribute $35 to Democrat causes in 2020, including $15 toward Joe Biden's campaign. And that was against the law. And an ethics committee did reprimand him for it.
Watters is wrong on all defense objections being overruled. Objections from Trump's legal team were sustained multiple times and some objections from the prosecution were overruled.
There will be other accusations to unpack, including those against prosecutor Alvin Bragg. One thing to keep in mind, is that if there has been bias in bringing charges against Trump, were the charges valid? If a state of country prosecutor has ever rubbed his hands together in glee for being able to arrest someone, that is one thing, but it does not mean the person is innocent. He still has to go to court and prove the person guilty. It is the witnesses and evidence that convict a person.
