(34 CRIMINAL CHARGES)
The following are links to the second or superceding indictment and statement of facts by the Honorable District Attorney for the County of New York, Alvin Bragg, also made available below for others to download. [11][12]
Above the PDF download link is a screen capture of the front page of the indictment of Donald J. Trump, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, IND-71543-23, April 4, 2023.
In this indictment, Donald Trump is alleged to have violated 34 different counts of the following criminal laws against the United States in a conspiracy with other co-conspirators, allegedly involved these organized crimes. [11][12]
Penal Law §175.10 Falsifying business records in the first degree - 34 criminal charges
The (specify) count is Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree.
Under our law, a person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when, with intent to defraud that includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof, that person:
Select appropriate alternative: makes or causes a false entry in the business records of an enterprise; or alters, erases, obliterates, deletes, removes or destroys a true entry in the business records of an enterprise; or omits to make a true entry in the business records of an enterprise in violation of a duty to do so which he or she knows to be imposed upon him or her by law or by the
nature of his or her position; or prevents the making of a true entry or causes the omission thereof in the business records of an enterprise.
The following terms used in that definition have a special meaning:
ENTERPRISE means any entity of one or more persons, corporate or otherwise, public or private, engaged in business,
Penal Law § 175.10 reads: "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." The charge substitutes the language of falsifying business records in the second degree in the appropriate place, commercial, professional, industrial, eleemosynary, social, political or governmental activity.
BUSINESS RECORD means any writing or article, including computer data or a computer program, kept or maintained by an enterprise for the purpose of evidencing or reflecting its condition or activity.
INTENT means conscious objective or purpose. Thus, a person acts with intent to defraud when his or her conscious
objective or purpose is to do so. 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),
Select appropriate alternative: made or caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise; or altered, erased, obliterated, deleted, removed or destroyed a true entry in the business records of an enterprise; or omitted to make a true entry in the business records of an enterprise in violation of a duty to do so which the defendant knew to be imposed upon him/her by
law or by the nature of his/her position; or prevented the making of a true entry or caused the omission thereof in the business records of an enterprise; and,
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.
[Note: If the affirmative defense does not apply, conclude as follows:
If you find the People have proven beyond a reasonable doubt both of those elements, you must find the defendant guilty of this crime.
If you find the People have not proven beyond a reasonable doubt either one or both of those elements, you must find the defendant not guilty of this crime.
[NOTE: If the affirmative defense does apply, continue as follows:
If you find that the People have not proven beyond a reasonable doubt either one or both of those elements, you must find the defendant not guilty of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree.
If you find that the People have proven beyond a reasonable doubt both of the elements, you must consider an affirmative defense the defendant has raised. Remember, if you have already found the defendant not guilty of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, you will not consider the affirmative defense.
Under our law, it is an affirmative defense to this charge of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree that the
defendant, at the time he/she engaged in the conduct constituting the offense, was a clerk, bookkeeper or other employee who,
without personal benefit, merely executed the orders of his/her employer or of a superior officer or employee generally authorized
to direct his/her activities.
Under our law, the defendant has the burden of proving an affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence. In determining whether the defendant has proven the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence, you may consider evidence introduced by the People or by the defendant.
A preponderance of the evidence means the greater part of the believable and reliable evidence, not in terms of the number of witnesses or the length of time taken to present the evidence, but in terms of its quality and the weight and convincing effect it
has. For the affirmative defense to be proved by a preponderance of the evidence, the evidence that supports the affirmative defense must be of such convincing quality as to outweigh any evidence to the contrary.
If you find that the defendant has not proven the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence, then, based upon
your initial determination that the People had proven beyond a reasonable doubt both of the elements of Falsifying Business
Records in the First Degree, you must find the defendant guilty of that crime.
If you find that the defendant has proven the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence, then you must find
the defendant not guilty of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. [13]
