Will Christian Soldiers Be On The Streets Of Pensacola As Kent Hovind Goes To Trial?
The expert who gives me just a tad of optimism for Kent Hovind is William McGane who has written about lis pendens. Apparently lis pendens is a very privileged filing. The only way that filing one is fraudulent is if there is absolutely no sort of litigation to which it refers. Jury instruction that Hovind’s public defender is seeking focuses a lot on the element of willfulness and Hovind in his statements has been indicating that he is not that up on all the details. So a lack of willfulness defense just might work. The Hovindicators have been promoting jury nullification, so a hung jury is not out of the question.
IRS Denies 501(c)(3) Exemption To Booster Club Due To Inurement
Poking around on the internet it strikes me that this fundraising model was more prevalent in gymnastics than in other sports. That might be because if you are raising money for a baseball team or a band to go somewhere, you probably want to get the whole team there, since it won’t do the other players much good if all the pitchers or all the tuba players aren’t good at selling popcorn or whatever.
At any rate, the word seems to be getting out that this particular booster model does not work, if you are looking for exempt status. Dan Caldwell notes in his post 5 Essentials for Booster Clubs to Meet IRS Requirement that booster clubs cannot allocate to participants based on their fundraising efforts.

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.
