| not paid the IRS tax less than fifty thousand dollars in income taxes for three tax years. In contrast, the famous actor, Wesley Snipes was alleged by the IRS to have not paid the IRS several millions of dollars in income taxes, and got only three years in prison, (2) Wesley Snipes is age 49, considerably younger than Steve. Eight years is essentially a life sentence for Steve, who is sixty two and in bad health, (3) I don't know about you, but this part makes mad as hell about the tyranny of the federal courts. The U.S. Attorneys have a 97% conviction rate in federal court -- 97%! How is that possible? It would not at all be possible in an honest court system. There are a great many shockingly criminal reasons why the U.S. Attorney's has unbelievable 97% conviction rate, and here is just one of them. Go to here and read about how the allegedly confidential conversations between federal prisoners and their attorneys are recorded, and then played back for the U.S. Attorneys prosecuting the cases of federal prisoners.

Sincerely, Greg Slaughter, — a friend of Steve Laubly --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Submitted by Steve Laubly's in his own words. I went to the IRS telling them that I hadn't been filing, and that I was willing to pay them all that they believed I owed them, plus interest and penalties. The agents I spoke with agreed to not do any collections until they came up with a number and then I could start making payments. I told them I would pay them $5,000 per month to pay it off. After several meetings and records being turned over, all of a sudden they decided to make an example out of me and go criminal. (They put me on TV, Radio, Newspaper, and the Internet, and the new IRS agent who did this to me was promoted right after my conviction...) I was arrested, they forced a totally incompetent attorney on me, who totally refused to represent me properly. I had a "Marsden Hearing" in which the judge praised the attorney he had given me, and refused to remove him. I was prohibited from presenting my testimony, over 200 pages of evidence, from questioning their witnesses, and from calling my own witnesses. The prosecution lied several times during closing, my attorney ignored it, and I was convicted. I filed against my attorney with the BAR, and a complaint for judicial misconduct against the judge. When the pre-sentencing report came out it recommended 33-41 months. After the complaints were filed, the amended pre-sentencing report then called for up to 71 months. During sentencing the judge refused to let me put my statement on record, and prohibited me from speaking before sentencing. He said derogatory things about me and my family, and stated that in my case he wished that there was no limit to the amount of time he could give me, and proceeded to give me 8 years. (I am 62, in bad health, and am disabled. Besides this I have never committed any crimes or anything other than a couple traffic violations.) I brought up the fact that there was a conflict of interest and the appearance of impropriety because of the criminal charges I filed against him, and he just said he was not going to recuse or disqualify himself because of that. I have proof that throughout the investigation and trial the following crimes and denials of due process were committed against me: The IRS, court, prosecution, and court-appointed lawyer violated my rights as follows: 1. To be notified of Grand Jury Investigation 2. Participation in Grande Jury selection 3. Withheld exculpatory evidence from the Grand Jury 4. Right to competent and effective counsel 5. FRCP Rule 12, right to file pre-trial motions 6. Right to file affidavits 7. Right to address the jury 8. Right to confront my accusers 9. Right to remedy 10. Right to have my rights timely protected 11. Right to fair and equitable trial, and unbiased judge and jury 12. Right to be tried by a Title III judge in a Title III Court 13. Right to request mistrial 14. Right to fire lawyer ( Marsden) 15 Many violations of USC 5, sec. 556 (d), 557 & 706 16. My right to speak at sentencing Any many other USC sections and US Constitution and California Constitutional violations. Please help Steve if you can.
