If true, there would be a case number, please provide it.
CONtrary (emphasis on con) to posts made above and by other losers; the
facts tell a different story:
In the United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit
No. 93-3171
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
THOMAS E. HAUERT,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 93 CR
285--William T. Hart, Judge.
ARGUED SEPTEMBER 7, 1994--DECIDED NOVEMBER 14, 1994
Before POSNER, Chief Judge, and EASTERBROOK and WELLFORD,*
Circuit Judges.
WELLFORD, Circuit Judge.
After conviction by a jury in the district court for
tax evasion (violation of 26 U.S.C. sec. 7201) and for
failure to file tax returns for the calendar years 1988
through 1991 (violation of 26 U.S.C. sec. 7203), defendant,
Thomas E. Hauert, has appealed his convictions and sentences
to this court.
Conceding that he had failed to file federal income tax
returns since 1986, Hauert first maintains that the
district court erred "in allowing the government to
introduce evidence of defendant's compromise and settlement
negotiations in a 1984 civil tax case." Next, he asserts
error by the trial judge in "denying defendant an
opportunity to present lay opinion testimony . . . relevant
to the issue of good faith." Hauert also challenges certain
jury instructions given by the district court applicable to
his claimed "good faith" defense. He avers, moreover,
prosecutorial misconduct denying him a fair trial, and,
finally, that the government erroneously shifted the burden
of proof from the prosecution. We discuss these grounds of
Hauert's appeal seriatim.
--------------------------
So, Thomas E. Hauert was found guilty and he appealed his conviction.
So, now, let's skip down to the finale:
--------------------------
For the reasons indicated, we AFFIRM the jury verdict and the judgment of
the district court.
