Defense Evidence Debunks Tax Evasion Claims in Baker Trial
Robert G. Baker's lawyers presented evidence claiming a $986.76 tax refund for 1961 and 1962 amid an income tax evasion trial. Accountant Milton J. Hoffman cited deductions and a $50,000 1962 loan from the late Sen. Robert S. Kerr, tying Baker's finances to campaign contributions Baker says Kerr handled. The defense argues Baker acted as a delivery agent for Kerr, asserting he turned funds over as instructed.
