"to evade other laws"... what were the other laws? The first charge, record keeping, was only a misdemeanor. Please tell us that "other law" Trump was convicted of breaking that bumped it into a felony.
You clearly don't understand the statute.
The only requirement is reasonable belief that records were falsified to break another law. Your claim that there is a requirement of another conviction is simply false.
Trump didn't just wake up a decide to scheme and break business records laws to pay $420,000 for $130,000 NDA, that is ludicrous. He obviously did it to hide the payment from disclosure during an election, required by campaign finance laws.
That's exactly why jury unanimously convicted him on Falsification of Business Records in the First Degree. If you Trump fans were not so emotionally invested and checking in your brain to carry water for him, then you'd have no difficulty with understanding these simple facts of the matter.
