I hope I get on his jury...in which case, he WILL be found not guilty...or the jury WILL be hung.

This is the way that we the people can beat the miserable, enslaving income tax tax......Get on tax case juries, convince the other jurors to find the defendant not guilty, or if that fails, hang the jury.....Make it clear to the government that any tax case they bring will fail.....

Correct me if I'm wrong any lawyers out there, but do tax cases go to jury trial? I read someplace that they don't for this very reason (jury nullification). As I said, I'm not sure on this one.

Criminal tax cases, like any criminal case, must be tried by a jury unless both sides agree to let the judge do it alone. In civil tax cases, the taxpayer has a choice: you can pay what the IRS says you owe, and sue for a refund, in which case you get a jury trial, or you can contest the IRS's claims in Tax Court without paying first, but then you don't get a jury.

I don't think the justice dept has figured out how to get around the 5th and 6th ammendments yet. The only way would be to use bribery or threats on family....I wouldn't count out either where the "justice" dept is concerned.
