By law trial judges must wait how long before sentencing a defendant?

I am unaware of any such law. A judge is free to sentence immediately upon the pronouncement of the verdict or he may order a pre-sentencing report to assist him in making a decision, and delay the sentencing hearing until the report is prepared and submitted to him.
