In August 2005 I reported on trumpeter Phil Driscoll. Mr. Driscoll was being accused of tax evasion of over $1 million. He was convicted last year on conspiracy and tax evasion charges stemming from using his ministry to hide income between 1996 and 1999 according to this story. He was sentenced today to a year and a day at ClubFed.
Mr. Driscoll performed at the opening of the Bill Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, and the former President sent a letter to the judge sentencing Mr. Driscoll.
Mr. Driscoll plans on appealing the conviction. He will not have to report to prison until March, pending the appeal.
