Of course I do, and have posted it.

Next week, the Prosecution will present their closing argument, you can advise the Trump Defense on the law afterwards.

Kind of amusing that a trial of the most dishonest man in history could be derailed by a man who stole a relatively small amount of money and lied about it. Something ironic about that. Dishonest men using any reason to have their man avoid facing reality and punishment. 

There was no derailment of the Prosecution's case.

 

The Defense witness was a mess.

[jerrymahoney]

From the transcript Judge's conference April 23

ADA Steinglass: However, as the Court is aware, Falsifying
Business Records in the First Degree requires an intent to
defraud, that includes the intent to commit or conceal
another crime .

 

The primary crime that we have alleged is New York
State Election Law Section 17-152 .

You take the Pattern Jury Instructions and gussy them up.

As here:

 

https://nycourts.gov/judges/cji/2-PenalLaw/175/175.10.pdf

Model Jury instructions NY PL 175.10 slightly edited:

 

In order for you to find the defendant guilty of this crime, the
People are required to prove, from all of the evidence in the case,
beyond a reasonable doubt, EACH of the following two elements:

 

1. That on or about (date) , in the county of (county) ,
the defendant, (defendant's name), ...

 

made or caused a false entry in the business records
of an enterprise; 

 

2. That the defendant did so with intent to defraud that
included an intent to commit another crime or to aid or
conceal the commission thereof.

 

If you find the People have not proven beyond a reasonable
doubt EITHER ONE OR BOTH of these elements, you must find the
defendant not guilty of this crime.

 

So despite all the complexities of this case, if the jury were to find that the 34 records were not false entries, it would be time to go home.

§ 175.10 Falsifying business records in the first degree.

 

A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.

 

Falsifying business records in the first degree is a class E felony.

 

Concealing and aiding this crime:

 

The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, Title 52, United States Code, Section 30101, et seq., (the “Election Act”), regulates the influence of money on politics.

 

At all relevant times, the Election Act set certain limitations and prohibitions, among them: (a) individual contributions to any presidential candidate, including expenditures coordinated with a candidate or his political committee, were limited to $2,700 per election, and presidential candidates and their committees were prohibited from accepting contributions from individuals in excess of this limit; and (b) Corporations were prohibited from making contributions directly to presidential candidates, including expenditures coordinated with candidates or their committees, and candidates were prohibited from accepting corporate contributions.

 

Trump is hosed unless there is a juror who holds out.

No need to give you a statute that Michael Cohen pled guilty to.

 

I have repeatedly explained the difference between a campaign finance violation and a campaign mislabeling a campaign expenditure.

 

Yes,I know you are going to troll more.

 

Tell you what:

 

Robert Costello was the Defense's star witness, how did he do?

The jury does not have to agree on the specific underlying crime.

 

The Prosecution alleges 3 separate underlying crimes, but the jury only has to agree that there was an underlying crime.

In other words, you know that Trump's defense screwed up with Costello.

 

When Michael Cohen knew he was in legal trouble, he contacted Costello about his legal services.

 

But newly revealed emails from Costello show that Trump's concern was stopping Cohen from testifying. Not exactly the instincts of an innocent man.

A comment on this:

 

The instructions that doesn't require a jury to agree on which underlying crime is to be considered makes sense.

 

If a felony conviction were to require that a jury agree on a single underlying crime, in the event that a mob boss committed a boatload of underlying crimes, he could get off if the jury couldn't agree on a single underlying crime.
