Dr. Dino Pleads
Kent Hovind, aka Dr. Dino, wanted to plead, now get this, "subornation of false muster" to a 58-count federal tax fraud indictment. The Dino man argues that the United States, the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Attorney's Office don't "have jurisdiction in this matter."
Hmmm... taxes, isn't that kind of like the IRS's thing?
Reportedly, when pressed, Hovind said he was entering a not guilty plea "under duress."
Hovind stands accused of failing to pay $473,818 in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes for employees of his Creation Science Ministry. Mrs. Dino has been charged, as well.
The way RSR sees it, the family that cheats on its taxes together, stays together. Its a values thing.
That's assuming, of course, they don't end up in jail.
Dr. Dino's chances of winning this case? About as good as proving that Adam -- like Fred Flintstone -- rode around on a dinosaur.
