Mistrial Earns Posner New Hearing

Victor Fosner, head ofEvans Products Co., was awarded a new trial after his irrcome tax e'rasion conviction was throrvn out because jurors were exposed to prejudicial information during the trial. He faced 40 years in prison for his July 18 conviction.

Reportedly the highest paid executive in the country Fosner expressed doubts that he would ever receive a fair hearing because of "the publicity that has occurred not only here. but on a national basis."

He was convicted of werrraluing by $1.2 million the 22 acres of land he donated to MiamiChristian College in the late l9?0s. Fosner says he gave a $3 million piece of land which the college later sold to a developer for $3.3 million. Nores hsner, "Ttrey sold it for more than the value we placed on it. That's in the court record."

The trial was dismissed because against court orders a juror had traveled to the property and thejury foreman had read prejudicial newspaper articles linked to the case and shared the information with another juror.

"The jury didn't understand what the case was all about." hsner said. "These people on the jury are nnking $l5O a ueek. They're poor people. They just didn't undersand," the millionaire industrialist observed.
