OJ Seeks Dismissal of Half of the Charges Against Him
Posted on February 03, 2008The Associated Press reported recently that OJ Simpson last week filed a motion seeking to have half of the charges against him - including the top level kidnapping charge - dismissed. Whatever you think of Simpson - like that he killed his ex-wife and Ron Goldman (which he probably did) - there is a reasonable [...
Snipes Acquitted on Tax Charges
Posted on February 03, 2008Actor Wesley Snipes was acquitted Friday of tax fraud and willful failure to file tax returns, by far the most serious of the charges against him. He was convicted on three lesser misdemeanor charges of failure to file tax returns. Snipes’ acquittal is a major, major defeat for federal prosecutors and for the Internal Revenue [...
Bonds Seeks Dismissal of Perjury Charges
Posted on January 23, 2008The Associated Press reports that Barry Bonds today filed a motion to dismiss the federal perjury charges of which he stands accused.

?The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.?
Posted on December 08, 2007Its been brought to my attention (thanks, Bennett!) that I have been AWOL here for a while. I will confess I did not realize it had been so long since I’d posted here.

IRS Prepares to Abuse 13,000 Taxpayers
Posted on November 05, 2007As I have written before, anyone from the government who appears to “ask a few questions” is not your friend, and is not looking to help you. This is especially true when that government employee wears jack boots issued by the IRS. Let me be as clear as possible about this: NEVER assume the bona [...
