UNITED STATES V. FOWLER
605 F.2d 181 (5th Cir. 1979)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Fowler (D) challenged the decision, which convicted D of willful
failure to file his tax returns and denied D's request for a continuance in order to obtain
counsel, forcing defendant to proceed at trial pro se.
FACTS: Fowler (D) decided that in 1953 he no longer wanted to pay income taxes. He was
finally brought to trial for the failure to pay for the years 1971-1975. He cooperated with
investigators but only provided them with partial records of his business affairs. The
government used the bank deposit method of proving his taxes and D, who represented himself
pro se was convicted. D appealed with the help of an attorney.
