A law professor at Harvard University on Thursday weighed in on the ongoing legal challenges surrounding Mayor Eric Adams, predicting that additional charges are more than likely.

Criminal defense attorney Ronald Sullivan was interviewed on “Mornings On 1” Thursday, following Adams' pre-trial conference in which prosecutors told the judge presiding over the case that it is “quite likely” that a superseding indictment was forthcoming.

“Superseding indictments are not uncommon, and very often in these sorts of cases, the prosecution will supplement their core case with the supplemental indictment and bring new charges,” Sullivan said.

The mayor’s attorney, Alex Spiro, on Wednesday dismissed the idea of a superseding indictment, saying in a statement, “The prosecution is desperately now saying they ‘could’ bring a new case because they are suddenly facing dismissal of their actual, flawed case and sanctions for misconduct.”

Sullivan said that while the defense is presenting an optimistic front, the likelihood of new allegations, and the indictment of others in Adams’ circle, is significant.

“There likely is more to come,” he said.

However, he said the prosecution may want to present its secondary allegations sooner rather than later as they battle a motion to dismiss one of the bribery charges against Adams.

“There is going to be some urgency to get more information out there in order to justify their prosecution,” Sullivan said. “So I do expect in the coming weeks, there's going to be a superseding indictment.”

As for what comes next in the trial, Sullivan speculated that the public will soon see individuals close to Adams also being indicted or coming forward as witnesses.

“I suspect that people close to Mr. Adams are going to get indicted, and that's usually how it works, and then the government will begin speaking to those people and see if they can get anyone to flip or turn,” he said. “We're going to get more revelations, more specific conduct.”
