Andy McCarthy: "Let’s stick with the relevant, undisputed facts of the case. Merchan should dismiss the case because it is already apparent that Bragg cannot prove criminal intent beyond a reasonable doubt. After three weeks of the prosecution’s case, I now believe the evidence would be insufficient even if Bragg had charged only New York’s misdemeanor business-records-falsification offense. As for the felony offense, as to which prosecutors must prove willfulness beyond a reasonable doubt (a heightened standard of scienter, i.e., criminal intent), Bragg’s evidence is woefully inadequate."
