Thomas v. United States
| Decision Date | 20 March 1967 |
| Docket Number | No. 23462.,23462. |
| Citation | 370 F.2d 96 |
| Parties | Roy THOMAS, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee. |
| Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Fifth Circuit |
Newton B. Schwartz, Houston, Tex., for appellant.
James R. Gough, Asst. U. S. Atty., Morton L. Susman, U. S. Atty., Houston, Tex., for appellee.
Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and AINSWORTH and DYER, Circuit Judges.
Certiorari Denied March 20, 1967. See 87 S.Ct. 1164.
Appellant was convicted of willfully making false statements on his income tax returns for the years 1958 and 1959 in violation of 26 U.S.C.A. § 7206(1). Of the many specifications of error relied upon the only one that need be noted is the contention that the indictment should have been dismissed because the grand jury pool from which this particular grand jury was selected was compiled substantially from the Texas poll tax list. There was a complete lack of evidence that the grand jury pool used here did not reflect a fair cross-section of the community. See Rabinowitz v. United States, 5 Cir. 1966, 366 F.2d 34.
