    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.
