Appears Bragg doesn't know the law but then, how could he ? I doubt he can even read. Few blacks can.

apr 10 2023 Alvin Bragg’s theory is that because Trump lived in D.C., then Florida, the felony limitations period in New York is still open. He’s wrong.

In New York, misdemeanors must be prosecuted within two years of the date of the offense. Felonies like those Bragg has alleged must be prosecuted within five years or be forever barred by the statute of limitations. These are not new, complex, or difficult-to-manage rules and deadlines. Team Bragg is aware.

The theory is that because Trump lived in Washington, D.C., during his presidency and in 2019 switched his official state of residence to Florida, the felony limitations period in New York City is still open. The time Trump spent away from New York will simply be subtracted from the time that has elapsed since the Trump Organization allegedly misrepresented Cohen’s reimbursement. This is dreaming and relies on only part of the statute while ignoring the rest.

New York law, in fact, addresses this concept in its Rules of Criminal Procedure, which provide that if the defendant was “continuously outside” the state or “the whereabouts of the defendant were continuously unknown and continuously unascertainable by the exercise of reasonable diligence,” the time for the state to bring charges against a person may be extended.

Trump was front-page news for his entire presidency. He was not hiding from anyone. He did not evade Bragg. He loves and lives in the limelight. He was not told until recently that Bragg had empaneled a grand jury regarding Stormy Daniels. Trump routinely visited New York City over the last several years and maintains at least one home and business assets there. If Bragg could not figure out where Trump was from 2016 to 2022, he has bigger problems than this weak indictment. Based on Bragg’s own timeline in the indictment he prepared, the charges he has conferred against Trump are time-barred with no basis for leeway.

Wow, why don’t Trumps lawyers file a motion to dismiss if it’s past the SOL?

Aren't you so cute in your white hood?

Meanwhile in the real world. Trump's lawyers have already filed an appeal that the statute of limitations has expired and the appeals court has ruled that is not the case.

One thing your source fails to understand is that the tolling for crimes was extended due to Covid-19 and the appeals court has said that tolling is legal and will be enforced for all cases.
At this point, any further attempt to file an appeal that the statute of limitations has run out would likely be considered frivolous and result in lawyers being sanctioned.
