Castroneves Jury Deliberations Continue on Monday
With closing arguments completed on Friday, the jury in Helio Castroneves’ tax evasion case in Miami began deliberating Friday afternoon. The judge discharged the jury and they will return Monday morning to continue their deliberations (as a former prosecutor and now defense counsel, I’ve always believed that interrupting jury deliberations for whatever reason is favorable to the defense).
The Miami Herald has this excellent description of the government’s evidence concerning the alleged tax evasion scheme. Interestingly, Castroneves’ father testified for the defense, and seemed to fall on his sword. More as deliberations continue.
