Pensacola evangelist and tax protester Kent Hovind winked at his wife and gave her a reassuring smile as he was led away to jail.

Jo Hovind clutched the necktie he had been wearing. She kept her eyes on her husband until he was out of sight.

A 12-person jury deliberated for 2½ hours on Thursday before finding the couple guilty of all counts in their tax-fraud case.

Kent Hovind, founder of Creation Science Evangelism and Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola, was found guilty of 58 counts, including failure to pay $845,000 in employee-related taxes. He faces a maximum of 288 years in prison.

Jo Hovind was charged and convicted in 44 of the counts involving evading bank-reporting requirements. She faces up to 225 years in prison but was allowed to remain free pending the couple's sentencing on Jan. 9.

Hovind is a superficial fundie, donning the aspects of fundism in order to fleece the bleating and eager flocks of fundie followers. Hovind is a common criminal and in spite of having harvested 'his people' of their money, they will believe him innocent and continue to sing his praises. Not surprising, they follow bush, too. Hopefully the Hovinds' will be punished and stripped of all money and possessions. But the post here itself isn't fundie; still, it's nice to know the contemptible couple were found guilty. Let's hope the decision isn't reversed on appeal and they are sentenced to prisons with very large and open populations of homosexuals ...

My parody of Kent Hovind, sung to the tune of 'JailHouse Rock' by Elvis:
THE KENT HOVIND SONG Kent Hovind ended up locked in jail Because his federal tax duties he hadn’t mailed The cops came a knockin’ and he claimed he knew nothing He said he was protected by the king of kings The cops, look out Dr. Dino for the cops You got a new buddy in your cellblock You and your spouse just got fucked You used to preach at us with a condescending tone You stole from uncle Sam and that’s not condoned Set up and knock down strawmen, crash, boom bang Now you slave away on a chain gang That’s fucked, Dr. Dino you’re fucked Although you aren’t really even a Doc Just call yourself one to impress your flock Could 58 counts of tax fraud be a conspiracy? To make them lock you up and throw away the key? They’re just jealous of your unaccredited PHD Now you’ll find out about sodomy A clock, you no longer need a clock Everybody saw you defrocked They know why you wobble when you walk Your head must be made from a block of stone To think that humans are found with dino bones You think that 9/11 was work of the government You believe in UFO’s and devils but not scientists Rock, your head is hewn from solid rock Avoid sinning is what you told your flock Now you are your own biggest stumbling block Fraud, assault and tax evasion, for goodness sake! Won’t that get you thrown in to the fiery lake? Dinosaurs on the ark, no-no, nix, nix Now your Muslim cellmate has you turning tricks Now you’re stuck, but it’s not so much bad luck You thought stealing would make you rich Now you’re incarcerated and someone’s bitch Redhunter
