U.S. v. Lin (NDCA, San Jose) 2018

Randy Sue Pollock defended a client charged with filing false tax returns and FBAR violations, with the government alleging hundreds of thousands of dollars in unreported income. After a one-month federal trial, Ms. Pollock secured a full jury acquittal on the 2007 tax year charges; the jury voted 10-2 for not guilty on the 2006 charges, resulting in a hung jury and ultimate dismissal. This result was achieved by presenting the money as legitimately held as a nominee for family business funds.
