During United states v. Middlebrook, in which Kimbrough G. Middlebrook is being tried in the Federal court for the southern district of mississippi, for income tax evasion, judge Walter L. Nixon comments to the jury, “Mr. Middlebrook may have been right, [but] if he was allowed to get away with what he was doing, everyone else would want to do the same, and the whole [Federal income tax] system would collapse.”
Postscript: Four years later Nixon was sent to prison for five years for lying to a grand jury and accepting a bribe to dismiss a drug smuggling case.
