Why there was no trial for Michael Cohen
<p>I am reading in the news that Michale Cohen will be sentenced today, however, I haven't seen any information about trial.</p>

<p>Is that because conviction is related to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Cohen_(lawyer)#Senate_perjury_plea" rel="nofollow noreferrer">perjury plea</a>, hence there is no need for trial and process is skipped right to the sentencing?</p>

<p>Or is there special process of trial when special counsel / prosecutor is involved?</p>

<p>Cohen plead guilty to a number of charges. If you plead guilty with any charges, then there is no need to go forward with a trial.</p>
