This was really my (poorly couched) point... how did this not hit every news program and twitter account across the country?
It would seem that even the news media fears what might happen... and I am guessing that the IRS has opted to let this one quietly be closed on its own: for had they lost on appeal, then the scope of this case would indeed be larger and easier to replicate... even without a jury.
Agree
Jury verdicts aren’t subject to appeal.
