You seem to be confused between conviction and sentencing. This is an Aussie definition - but it's the same in the USA.Fake news! One is not convicted until the Judge enters the verdict. Tell us when that was done.
A conviction means that you have been found guilty of an offence by the court. This may be because you plead guilty, or because you were proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt despite not pleading guilty.
Following a conviction, you will be sentenced. This may occur on the day of the verdict, or within around 6-8 weeks. As part of your sentencing, you may be subject to criminal penalties such as fines, probation or jail time.

Trump, the presumed 2024 Republican presidential nominee, in late May became the first former president of the United States to be convicted of a felony. The historic conviction came after the jury in a New York trial found Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a “hush money” payment made to an adult film star to prevent a scandal from circulating during the 2016 presidential campaign.
