NBC’s Cevallos: Bragg is Using a Poorly Written Statute to Add a Misdemeanor to a Misdemeanor to Make a Felony

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports,” NBC Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos stated that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump “used a misdemeanor, added a misdemeanor to it, and got a felony.” And that “sometimes statutes are struck down because they’re not well written. I think this is one of those laws,” because whoever wrote it didn’t think ahead.
Cevallos stated, “New York has a law, falsification of business records, it’s ordinarily a misdemeanor…New York law allows that to become a felony if the false entry was also in furtherance of or to conceal a crime. It doesn’t say what specific crime. And, in fact, it’s pretty vague what kinds of crimes qualify.
