Ward Dean, M.D.
13 June, 2003
Foreperson, Grand Jury
U.S. Courthouse
Northern District of Florida
One North Palafox Street
Pensacola, Florida 32501
Dear Sir or Madam,
As you know, I am the target of a Grand Jury investigation, which I believe involves income taxes. I have previously requested of the U.S. Attorney that I be allowed to appear before the Grand Jury to answer your questions (Incl 1). However, my request has been denied (Incl 2).
It is a not-so-funny joke among attorneys that "a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich." This is because the prosecutor "holds all of the cards," so to speak. Only one side is presented--the government's. Exculpatory evidence of any kind is not presented.
I would like the opportunity to appear before you to present exculpatory evidence, which the U.S. Attorney is withholding from you, and answer whatever questions you may have. The evidence includes letters I have written to various employees and officers of the IRS, asking very simple questions regarding which laws I am required to comply with.
My questions have gone unanswered.
I realize that the Grand Jury is not the place for me to argue my case--but is a forum to answer your questions.
However, before the government expends a great deal of expense and effort to indict and prosecute me for allegedly violating as-yet unknown (to me) laws, I respectfully request the opportunity to appear before you and answer whatever questions you may have.
Yours truly,
Ward Dean, M.D.
