The whole thing should have been thrown out when the agent was declared incompetent by the trial judge. The trial judge and appeal judges conveniently ignore the whole decision was based on the testimony of a witness the trial judge ruled was "incompetent".That's not what the judge said. From the transcript that was attached to the judge's order, starting at page 4, line 13: Judge William F. Downes Wrote:Third, Mr. Edwards moves to strike the declarations of IRS Agent Bruce Gilbert in support of the petition because Agent Gilbert is allegedly not qualified to be a witness against Mr. Edwards, citing to Federal Rule of Evidence 602. Rule 602 states that a witness may only testify about matters within his personal knowledge. Mr. Edwards claims that because Agent Gilbert could not answer meaningless questions posed by Mr. Edwards during the earlier meetings that he had with Mr. Gilbert, that he is not qualified as a witness. When (and where) did the judge say that the witness was "incompetent"? It seems to be more likely that the judge said that the questions were incompetent. |
