Paul Manafort and the 8 count conviction in Virginia - why hasn't he been sentenced?

Hi DUers,

Been wondering why Manafort hasn't been sentenced for the 8 counts he was found guilty of in Virginia.

His plea deal fell through with Team Mueller because he didn't tell the truth, so why hasn't he been charged yet.

Also, there were at least 10 charges that the jury hung on (1 juror held out), why haven't those been retried given the plea deal fell through.

And the DC trial never occurred due to the plea agree, now that the agreement has blown up, when will that trial occur.

Would appreciate any insights you can provide
