The Evening: Trump’s sentencing is delayed

Also, an alternative for B.M.I. shows promise.
The Evening

September 6, 2024

Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Friday.

  • Trump's delayed sentencing
  • Slower-than-expected hiring
  • Plus, a very American U.S. Open

🇺🇸 2024

The presidential election is 60 days away. Here's the latest from the campaign trail.

Trump will not be sentenced before Election Day

The New York judge who oversaw Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records announced today that the former president's sentencing would be postponed until Nov. 26, weeks after Election Day. The decision was a major victory for Trump, who had argued that the previous Sept. 18 sentencing date would unfairly influence the election.

The judge, Juan Merchan, cited the case's unprecedented nature. "This is not a decision this court makes lightly," he said. "But it is the decision which, in this court's view, best advances the interests of justice."

Trump's campaign did not celebrate the delay. Instead, it issued a statement saying "there should be no sentencing" at all in what it called an "election interference witch hunt."

Though the decision will avert a courtroom spectacle in the campaign's final stretch, the delay could still affect the election. Voters will now be left in the dark about whether the Republican presidential nominee will eventually spend time behind bars. Trump faces up to four years in prison. However, Merchan could impose a shorter sentence or only probation.

Here's what else to know:

The Georgia school shooter and his father appeared in court

The 14-year-old boy who is accused of killing two students and two teachers at his high school in Winder, Ga., this week made his first court appearance today, just 30 minutes before his father sat at the same defense table.

The teen faces four counts of felony murder, and could serve life in prison if convicted. His father faces murder and manslaughter charges. He is accused of allowing his son to have access to the military-style rifle used in the shooting despite knowing he was a threat to himself and others.

Hiring has shifted into a lower gear

U.S. employers added 142,000 jobs in August, according to a new government report, a weaker-than-expected showing for the second consecutive month. The totals for June and July were also revised downward. Taken together, the economy added an average of 116,000 jobs a month since June, far below the monthly pace over the last year.

There was, however, some good news for the labor market: The unemployment rate dropped to 4.2 percent, and wages increased more than expected. The mixed results offered a somewhat muddied picture for the Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to cut interest rates next week in an effort to shore up the job market.

Also: Stocks had their worst week of the year.

An alternative for B.M.I. shows promise

Body mass index — a ratio of a person's height to weight — is one of the most widely used health metrics. But the tool, which is used to label people overweight or obese, has long been criticized as a flawed indicator of health because it does not distinguish between the weight of muscle and that of fat.

Recent research suggests that a new indicator, known as body roundness index, a measure of how round or circlelike you are, may be a more promising predictor of mortality.

Fall is stuffed with exciting shows and exhibits

Temperatures will soon ease as summer turns to fall. That means it's as good a time as any to spend a few hours taking in the arts.

In New York: Dance exhibitions are in vogue.

In Los Angeles: PST Art is one of the most anticipated events of the season.

In other cities: Architects are exploring new ways to coax people back to downtowns.

In concert halls: We're looking forward to a celebration of Pierre Boulez.

For something louder: The year's buzziest pop artists are soon headlining tours and festivals.

If you prefer to stay home: Here are the movies our critics are talking about.

A very American U.S. Open

This weekend is a big moment for U.S. men's tennis. With a win tonight, either Frances Tiafoe or Taylor Fritz will become the first American man to reach the U.S. Open final since 2006, and the first to reach any Grand Slam final since 2009. Unfortunately for the good friends, however, they will have to play each other.

On the women's side, another American player, Jessica Pegula, has already reached the final. She will be the underdog on Saturday against the No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka.

An economic indicator? The Open is on track to sell more Honey Deuces than ever before.

ONE LAST THING

Staff meals aren't just for restaurants

The so-called family meal — where restaurant workers feast together before the start of a shift — is a tradition in the food industry. But the ritual of gathering employees to chat and get to know one another over a regular meal is not limited to professional kitchens. My colleagues visited six different staff meals to see what they're like.

Ava DuVernay has one rule for the staff meal at her film production company: It's time for leisure, not work. "To do your best, you should feel that you're wanted," she said. "Breaking bread is a way to engender that sense of community."

Have a sociable weekend.

Thanks for reading. I'll be back on Monday. — Matthew
