Kent Hovind’s Half-Billion Dollar Lawsuit – Legal Analysis

Kent Hovind’s Half-Billion Dollar Lawsuit – Legal Analysis

What is extraordinary to me is not so much the confidence that they have that they are right. It is the seeming total assurance that they will prevail. Kent explains the “verified complaint” argument with one of his sports analogies. Under Paul John Hansen Law there must be a “verified complaint” in order for a grand jury to consider an indictment.

They have asked the clerk of the court for a copy of the verified complaint. There is not one. So under Hansen law that means that even though federal prosecutors hit a home run with Kent’s 2006 conviction, long sentence and property forfeiture which was upheld on appeal, it was all for naught, because they failed to touch first base as they rounded it.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
