IRS Defeated by Hung Jury Against Tax Resister (http://www.activistpost.com/2013/11/irs-defeated-by-hung-jury-against-tax.html)


This morning, the jury in Doreen Hendrickson’s trial (http://www.kyfreepress.com/2013/11/doreen-hendrickson-irs-suborn-testimony/) returned to the courthouse and deliberated all day. At around 5pm, they finally emerged and presented their verdict: hung jury. Hung by ONE! What a delightful victory!!!

One juror stood up to the others, stood up to the IRS (no small undertaking) and to the judiciary — who was clearly making decisions on the side of the IRS.

Looks like the robed one used some special tactics to get the verdict necessary for the meatshield defendant. Didn't work though.

I read this yesterday... great story!

Unlike with Pete's trial, the jury was allowed to read Pete's book "Cracking the Code-The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America."
It doesn't look like many of them read it though since it was 11 to 1 in favor of conviction.

The Government actually wanted the jury to be told they couldn't judge the law.
