The complete story on Irwin Schiff's trial and its disastrous outcome can be read at: http://irwinschiff.blogspot.com/

The judicial misconduct demonstated by the judge and the prosecution in this case needs public ventilation and scrutiny to understand the depth of this miscarriage of justice. An appeal must be filed in a certain limited span of time and legal expertise requires funding. Help if you can.

I plan to write more about this trail and the implications it holds for all Americans who believe in justice and fair play. This man has been railroaded into a guilty verdict because he asked the one question that the federal government and the Federal Reserve Banking system cannot-and will not-answer: "Where is the law that requires me to pay an "income" tax?"

Dear Mr. Dershowitz,

Imagine, if you can, a government banning a book which contains only truthful words because a segment of that government does not like the content! Imagine further that same government putting the seventy eight year old author of that book on trial for having violated a nonexistent law which carries a virtual life sentence! Taking your imagination one step further imagine the prosecution and the judge working in tandem to keep the author from offering any Supreme Court rulings, any laws, introducing witnesses or cross examining the prosecution’s witnesses! To stretch your imagination to its breaking point imagine the prosecution’s final words to the jury being, *“If you don’t find him guilty you, the jury, will be breaking the law!”

If you thought this could only have happened to a Jew in Nazi Germany during World War Two you would be mistaken. Perhaps, not so coincidentally the author is Jewish. His name is Irwin Schiff. The title of the book is ‘The Federal Mafia’ and the trial was held in a federal court in Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States of America.

During that trial Federal Judge Kent Dawson upheld every objection made by the prosecution and denied virtually every objection made by the defense. And, as if that were not enough to convince anyone there was no evident justice administered during that trial Judge Dawson made sure the defendant would never be released, even if found not guilty, by sanctioning him to over three hundred (300) years in jail for attempting to bring up laws in his courtroom!

Stranger still is the fact that even though Mr. Schiff is best known legal authority on the income tax in the world there was no newspaper, wire services or television coverage of that trial until the day the verdict was read which unsurprisingly was GUILITY.

Mr. Dershowitz I have followed your career for over thirty years and read most of your books. I hold you in the highest of esteem and believe you to be the only appellate attorney with the media clout and judicial expertise to right this most heinous display of injustice ever perpetrated in a courtroom since the shot heard round the world informed the world that a new standard of justice was born in The United States of America.

Being almost as ancient as Mr. Schiff I pray my tombstone can be inscribed with, “I thank God I lived long enough to see Alan Dershowitz force the Federal Government to abide by the rule of law and The Constitution.”

I thank you for your time and

remain respectfully yours

David Sanders
