He can appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. There is a fairly long process to make that happen, conventionally.
He will appeal, but the path that takes is anybody’s guess.
He still does have a few other court cases that need to be settled and it is unlikely he can motion to dismiss on malicious prosecution(his snowball chance in hell option) on the pending cases and petition for USSC review at the same time.
His legitimate only chance at getting out of the noose is to be elected and pardon himself before he has to turn himself over into custody.
Regardless of whether or not a president pardoning themself is possible, he can’t pardon himself of new york state crimes. Governor Hochul/executive clemency bureau are the only ones that could do that.
Don’t people that are sentenced to prison but appeal still serve until the appeals are done? I don’t have faith he’ll be sentenced to prison but whatever he gets should be in effect unless one of his appeals goes through right?

*To the state supreme court.
And as mentioned, he has no pardon authority here unless he gets elected governor of New York.

IANAL, but I believe that is up to the judge’s discretion, as is the sentence itself.
