Still No Verdict in Castroneves Tax Case

From USA Today.com:

Miami jurors got new instructions today as they deliberate the tax evasion case of Brazilian race car driver Helio Castroneves and two co-defendants.

U.S. District Judge Donald Graham on Wednesday provided new definitions for some complex areas of tax law. Jurors have issued three notes asking questions over four days of deliberations.

The two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, his sister-business manager Katiucia Castroneves and attorney Alan Miller face more than six years in prison if convicted of tax evasion and conspiracy charges. Prosecutors say they set up a Panamanian shell company to hide Castroneves' income. Defense attorneys say they are innocent.

The 33-year-old Castroneves also won TV's "Dancing With The Stars" competition in 2007.
