A Long Island criminal defendant tried faking his death to avoid sentencing, but the phony death certificate his lawyer submitted had a glaring spelling error that made it a dead giveaway for a fraud, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Robert Berger, 25, of Huntington, New York, now faces up to four years in prison if convicted in the alleged scheme. That's in addition to pending sentences for earlier guilty pleas to charges of possession of a stolen Lexus and attempted grand larceny of a truck — punishment prosecutors say he was looking to avoid.

If I found the right image, he looks like a less dangerous member of the manson family.
If the defendant had any communications with the lawyer over this, there is no lawyer-client confidentiality. In fact, the client now has a major incentive to throw his lawyer under the bus as a co-conspirator.
Stoopid.
There’s only one o
I can’t believe even that was so easily copied. I mean, the paper alone. A real certificate must have paper that is different, somehow, from an 8” x 11” sheet of printer paper.
The lawyer should immediately have his license revoked and obviously, both should face criminal penalties.
He’s a guy likely to have a tattoo that says “NO REGERTS.”
What a maroon!
And by the way, how in the world do you suffocate yourself? How is that a means of suicide?
Believe me, I’ve had suicidal thoughts and bouts of depression all my life and not once did I even think about how to do that. Now that I’m wondering about it, I really can’t figure out how to accomplish it.
You can’t hold a pillow over your face or put a plastic bag over your head and expect that your body won’t resist at the last moment. It has to be something that defeats the normal self-preservation instinct. Using your own force in the two ways I mentioned is not going to work. Your body won’t let you finish the job.
I may be wrong; please give your thoughts. I am really curious.
If only he had a post-death voter registration his ruse might have worked...
Have you seen the movie “We’re the Millers”? With Jeffifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis (sp?)? It’s funny.
Their daughter meets this loser with a tattoo that says something like, “No Ragrets.” The dad, played by Jason, has a funny comment on it. I’d try to copy it but can’t remember it and will wreck it if I try. It’s a good movie. A nice way to pass an hour and a half of quarantine. :)
“If only he had a post-death voter registration his ruse might have worked...”
LOL! Well, the Dems would welcome him with open arms! And drive him to the polling station!
As someone that has done some genealogical research I can say without fear of contradiction that many official documents contain typos, and errors, even death certificates.
I have come across some that have the wrong YEAR!
Since some of the information used comes from friends and relatives parent’s names and place of birth is often wrong.
Even names can be wrong (someone that goes by a “nick name” and no one knows there given name. More common in the past then now.
So I am surprised anyone even noted a misspelled word.
Huh? The criminals family handed the lawyer a death certificate and said he was dead.
How many letters are there in the alphabet these days?
I wonder if this only happened because a government office is closed due to COVID-19 and is sending scanned copies of many types of documents instead of originals.
Lol
How many letters in the alphabet, has some woke ass liberal, declared to be racist?
