Kent Hovind In Pensacola – Looks Like No Trial On Monday
The current charges relate back to his 2006 conviction. Besides his ten year sentence, over $400,000 in structured funds were forfeited. Kent having no cash, property of Creation Science Evangelism, which was deemed an alter ego of Kent Hovind, was seized. Kent believes that his conviction will be reversed and on the advice of his real estate genius cellmate he filed a “Bivens claim” against prison officials who interfered with an appeal of his conviction. As a follow on to that he filed a “lis pendens” on some of the seized properties to warn buyers that the United States’s title to the property was in dispute. That is the basis of his contempt of court charge, on which he was convicted in March, and the fraud and conspiracy charges.

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.
