IRS Loses A Big One

Memphis Pilot Acquitted of Tax Evasion Charged With Filing "False" W-4s

On Friday, a Memphis federal jury acquitted FedEx pilot Vernice Kuglin of six counts of felony Tax Evasion and Willful Failure to File tax returns.

Ms. Kuglin's attorneys, Tax Honesty Movement barristers Larry Becraft and Robert G. Bernhoft, told reporters that Kuglin was indicted seven months ago and had refused to plead the case out for a lesser sentence. During her testimony Kuglin testified that since 1995, she had sent numerous letters to the IRS requesting that they inform her of what law required her to pay the Individual Income Tax. To this day, she has not received an answer.

At 1:30 Friday afternoon, the jury returned not guilty verdicts on all counts.

After the jury had been excused the U.S. Attorney reportedly demanded that the Judge order the defendant to file her forms, pay her taxes and obey the law. The Judge reportedly replied "Sir, I don't work for the IRS."

The case is: U.S. District Court, Western District of Tennessee (Memphis) # 03-CR-20111, USA v. Kuglin.

The news story below comes from the August 9th edition of the Memphis daily newspaper, The Commercial Appeal:

We all hate the IRS, but some tend to forget that CONGRESS gives them the power to act like the gestapo!

I LOVE it! The IRS gets back some of their own doubletalk!

And with that remark, an IRS contract was taken out on the judge....

Why are we all stupid enough to pay taxes if there is no law?

I'm not being funny here,I'm serious.

Think of the Income Tax as vig and the IRS as Guideo and Guiessepie.

Names are different, concept the same.

Because we want to live. They murdered 90 people in waco a while back for failure to pay a $200 tax. I'd say that means your life is worth a little more than $2 to FedGov.

Dig up the history of the 16th amendments ratification sometime. I believe the deciding vote was falsely recorded and the states ratified conflicting versions.

Its rule of men, not rule of law.

Right now there are twelve jurors having first class audits being prepared by the IRS.

Another question..........What does this say about the IRS's special tax courts, which enjoy a domain outside of the normal judicial system which has that constitutional thingy?

Times will be mighty wierd for the attorneys at the IRS.

You might want to wait and see what happens to her if she continues in this manner.

I suspect this judge will be facing a full-cavity IRS audit soon.

Would you be willing to clarify that analogy, df? I confess that I dont have a clue what a vig, or Guideo, or Guiessepie is.
