the flaw in your logic is that you assume the step happens atomically when the plea
is entered or when the sentencing occurs.
it is an independent event in a trial.
the judge could have filed it when the plea was submitted
they could file it now, prior to sentencing
they could file it during sentencing
regardless, it is when the judge says the person is convicted vis a vis the official court filing
that the individual is considered convicted under the law; the bet was on conviction
you're constructing a faulty if:then statement that reads if: plea submitted, then: convicted
that is not logically valid
what is valid is
if: judge files judgement of conviction, then: convicted
is entered or when the sentencing occurs.
