The Stormy Daniel case was beyond the statute of limitations how did this move forward

1. Summary of the results

The Stormy Daniel case against Donald Trump was able to move forward despite initial concerns that it was beyond the statute of limitations ^[1]. According to the analyses, the case involved falsifying business records, which has a longer statute of limitations in New York ^[2]. The pandemic-era extension allowed prosecutors more time in Trump's case, with the judge ruling that the extension and timing of the case was valid ^[1]. The pre-trial motions stated that the deadline for prosecution was extended by one year and 47 days, which further supported the case moving forward ^[3]. The alleged crimes of falsifying business records have a longer statute of limitations, allowing prosecutors to pursue charges related to the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels ^[4]. The investigation and trial of Donald Trump for his role in the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels demonstrate that the case was not barred by the statute of limitations due to the nature of the alleged crimes ^[5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key point to consider is that the statute of limitations for a felony charge in New York is 5 years ^[1], but the case against Trump involved falsifying business records, which has a longer statute of limitations ^[2]. Another important factor is the tolling period of 228 days during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was taken into account when determining the deadline for prosecution ^[3]. The District Attorney must prove intent to defraud and an underlying crime in order to secure a conviction, and the statute of limitations for the misdemeanor has expired, potentially undermining the felony charge ^[6]. It is also worth noting that the case against Trump was able to move forward because of the nature of the alleged crimes, specifically falsifying business records ^[4]. The judge's ruling on the extension and timing of the case was also crucial in allowing the case to proceed ^[1].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement claims that the Stormy Daniel case was beyond the statute of limitations, which may be misleading ^[1]. The extension of the statute of limitations due to the pandemic and the nature of the alleged crimes allowed the case to move forward ^{[1] [2]}. The Trump camp may benefit from the narrative that the case was beyond the statute of limitations, as it could be used to question the legitimacy of the indictment ^[3]. On the other hand, the prosecution may benefit from the fact that the case was able to move forward despite initial concerns about the statute of limitations, as it allows them to pursue charges related to the hush money payment ^[4]. The media may also have a role to play in shaping the narrative around the case, with some sources emphasizing the legitimacy of the indictment and others questioning the timing of the case ^{[1] [3]}.
