Trial Logs

Our government's ability to incarcerate innocent people is evidenced by the number of those being exonerated, most often through DNA evidence. These wrongful convictions evidence our judicial system's failure. Trial Logs is currently covering the government's prosecution of those who question the application of the income tax laws. It is our hope that this coverage will help us understand the failings of our justice system and help those struggling to comprehend this nation's income tax laws.

I liked the opening.

I feel that some additional things should have been said.

For example: Where should a person look first when thinking about whether ot not they are liable to pay any taxes?

When it comes to Alcohol, Tobacco, etc. it is clear. See chapter and verse.

When it comes to IT where does one start?

When and if you sit down with the IRS isn't this a reasonable question to ask as a starter?

You just don't go to a 1040 form do you?

I hope that you win on appeal.

I find it atrocious that the power of jurors to nullify unjust laws has been abridged in this case. Anyone familiar with the concept of "jury nullification" knows that jurors have the right to judge the law as well as the facts of the case. Our second president, John Adams, said; "It is not only his right, but his duty...to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court." Further information on this aspect of American jurisprudence can be found by searching the web and especially by consulting the site for the FULLY INFORMED JURY ASSOCIATION
