He was referred to as Juan M. Merchan in the original lead sentence, but I can't find a reliable source for that middle initial. And Trump referred to him as Juan Miguel Merchan in a tweet was quoted in numerous publications,[1] but that appears to be someone else [2]. Reliable sources are just calling him Judge Juan Merchan and I think we should do the same. MelanieN (talk) 23:34, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update: someone found a reliable source for Juan Manuel Merchan so that is now in the article. -- MelanieN (talk) 13:59, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This sentence doesn't make sense and can't be true:[edit]
"...sentenced her to six months in jail, which amounted to time already served due to the four months Gristina had spent at Rikers before being bailed."
He either sentenced her to time served at four months, or gave her six months with four months credit, and the two remaining months suspended for a probationary period (more likely scenario). 2601:182:CD00:1640:F890:E7C5:1235:A77E (talk) 19:42, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In New York, you generally can get away with serving 2/3 of a local jail sentence. So while, yes, the phrase needs to be clarified, someone sentenced to 90 days, for example, who has been in jail for 60 days, will just get released, having served the full sentence.

Is it really necessary to specify his daughter’s occupation?[edit]
It seems to me it has no relevance in the scope of this article. Koubiak (talk) 05:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We say: “Merchan officiated at the wedding of his daughter, Loren, in 2022.[23] She heads a digital marketing agency which works with Democratic Party candidates and non-profits.[23][24]” This is quite brief and reflects the sources. Anythingyouwant (talk) 16:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
