Any idea how long the trial is likely to be?
Is there any chance he'll get off (he can probably afford a top class weasel lawyer)?

Romans go home
The building permit story was on ABC World News Tonight a few weeks ago (they show it late at night on BBC News 24 over here).
I was in stitches when they showed a clip of the County Commission Chairman saying this:
"Scripture also says 'Render unto Caesar what Caesar demands.' And right now, Caesar demands a building permit,"

classic!
"subornation of false muster."
what does that even MEAN?
I'm no weasel lawyer but as best as I can work out subornation is inducing someone to commit an illegal act (usually perjury in legal usage) and false muster is a military term that basically means falsifying a roll call.
I think Hovind is claiming he's being induced to lie about who he is or where he lives or something like that. Perhaps entering a plea before a court he doesn't recognise is the problem.
Anybody on the board going to 'fess up to being a lawyer and tell us what the real scoop is?
Google only threw up one hit for 'Subornation of False Muster'.
Interestingly it's another religous wacko who thinks the US legal system doesn't have jurisdiction over him, perhaps because he's a 'citizen of heaven' and not a citizen of the US. You couldn't make it up
