No because the bullshit felonies are the "crimes" being charged.
Correct. That is why the statute of limitations doesn't apply.
It would apply if they were simply charging him for falsifying business records in the 2nd degree (a misdemeanor).
LOL!! The crimes are so secret that you still can't list them.
They were listed for the defense and prosecutors in February.
Trump is lying to you.
I gave you the link of the transcript. Did you not a read single page?
They were not convictions nor were they indicted crimes, so they are imaginary crimes, illegally charged crimes that never had "due process" in court. Similar to the "insurrection" crime CO used to try to keep Trump off the CO ballot. That was overturned as will these Kangaroo Court "felonies".
The threshold for the predicate crimes is intent only. They need not be charges.
Trump and his team went over this in February. They knew it coming into the trial.
Trump is lying to you.
That precedent is not relevant. The 6th Amendment says that the defendant gets "due process". The CO "insurrection" case is a better precedent. No matter, these 24 bullshit felonies will never stand after the appeal process.
Trump got due process for the crime of falsifying business records in the first degree. A felony.
No due process is required for the predicate crimes as was discussed in February with Trump's team.
What predicate crimes? Federal Election crimes that aren't there?
The predicate crimes only require intent.
They are listed in page 12 of the link I provided above that you didn't read.
What were the payments to Stormy for? Duh.
So she wouldn't tell the country Trump fucked a porn star while his wife was home with his newborn.
There are no crimes being covered up by the NDA payments to Stormy, none. Merchan is a political hack not a judge.
Except falsifying business records in the first degree.
Merchan has to follow precedent. He can't create or change laws, he only follows them.
The precedents were addressed pretrial with Trump team. Trump's team agreed with them. That means there is no grounds for appeal.
Below is the precedent discussed with Trump's team that his lawyers agreed with.

"We...reject defendant's contention that a separate crime automatically becomes a material element of falsifying business records in the first degree whenever the People rely on the “intent to conceal” prong of that statute on the theory that concealment, as opposed to an intent to commit another crime or aid in the commission thereof, presupposes a prior completed crime. Read as a whole, it is clear that falsifying business records in the second degree is elevated to a first-degree offense on the basis of an enhanced intent requirement—“an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof”—not any additional actus reus element"
