Merchan and Bragg played fast and loose with the law

§ 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.
Merchan instructed the jury before deliberations that the "other crime" was irrelevant... when the "other crime" was the qualifier for the felony charges in the first place.
Without considering the "other crime" as relevant, Trump should have only been charged with misdemeanors, not felonies, to begin with.
Bragg knew they had no chance at getting a jury to agree on intent, which was the qualifier for the felony designation, yet he still brought felony charges.
Bragg essentially prosecuted misdemeanor charges to get felony convictions... and Merchan went right along with it.
How's that for "democracy"?

It's prosecutorial misconduct, at the least.

The prosecution offered 4 step ups, Marchand disallowed 1. Every juror had to agree to one of three for a felony conviction.
It may turn out that it was Hope who **** him over.

And Merchan told the jury that they didn't have to agree on the "other" crime... only the falsification...which is just a misdemeanor, not a felonyBlackvegetable » 31 May 2024, 9:14 am » wrote: ↑ You have no idea what you are yammering about.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Bragg and Merchan didn't have that little tactic worked before the jury was ever sat.

It was only to agree that it was demonstrated to have been in the furtherance of A crime...the prosecution offered 3. Each member of the jury found the evidence of the furtherance of at least one of the specific offenses listed...beyond a reasonable doubt.

The only part of the equation that was required to be unanimous was that the records were falsified... which is a misdemeanor.Blackvegetable » 31 May 2024, 9:36 am » wrote: ↑ It wasn't their mandate to do so...

The felony side of the equation was void of the same stipulation, per Judge Merchan... which is what the jury wanted to confirm by reviewing Merchan's instructions.
Merchan not only made it easier for the jury to convict, he all but assured it.
So much for a non biased judiciary.
The fact that Merchan had donated to Biden's campaign in the past and had a daughter that actually worked for Biden/Harris campaign means he should have never presided over the case in the first place... and then there were the gag orders.
Prosecutorial misconduct abound.

Merchan made it a multiple choice felony, to cover Bragg's ***.

I think it's more that you don't like the idea of someone pointing out the underhanded actions of your champions.
I personally believe that the verdict yesterday will play in Trump's favor at the end of the day, and he still stands a solid chance at being the next POTUS regardless. I mean, look at who he's running against.
LOL
I'm just watching the circus.

No...it's a Class E felony.

Falsifying the records is a misdemeanor... doing in to commit or cover up another crime is what makes it a felony...
Merchan told the jury they could pick and chose on that second part, so long as they were unanimous on the first part.
That relived Bragg from having to sell the jury of the "why" the records were falsified in the first place.
As I said... Merchan not only made it easier for the jury to return a guilty verdict, he all but assured it.
Merchan helped Bragg immensely in the jury instruction, the gag orders, and even allowing a convicted perjurer testify for the prosecution ... which in conjunction with his and his daughter"s direct support of team Biden/Harris, tosses his impartiality right out the window.
Bragg was hired to get Trump and Merchan was the insurance to make sure it happened.

there were three alternatives that satisfied the condition.Merchan told the jury they could pick and chose on that second part, so long as they were unanimous on the first part.
All it took was 1 of 12 jurors finding reasonable doubt to reject all three.
Not one did.
