Criminal Impersonation—Falsely Attributed E-Mails.

Defendant was convicted of criminal impersonation (and other offenses) because he sent e-mails which he falsely attributed to scholars who disagreed with the defendant’s father, an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls.  The First Department explained why the defendant’s falsely-attributed e-mails were not protected by the First Amendment: “Defendant was not prosecuted for the content of any of the emails, but only for giving the false impression that his victims were the actual authors of the emails.” People v Golb, 9101, Ind. 2721/09 1st Dept. 1-29-13

Substantially modified by the Ct. of Appeals in People v Golb, 2014 NY Slip Op 03426 [23 NY3d 455], CtApp 5-13-14
