| Description | Former tax attorney Oscar Amos Stilley of Fort Smith was sentenced Friday to 15 years in federal prison for tax fraud, the U.S. attorney’s office announced.
Stilley, 46, and his former client and co-defendant Lindsey Kent Springer, 44, of Kellyville, Okla., were remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal after the three-day sentencing hearing concluded. An official with the clerk of court said the hearing began Wednesday and ended around noon Friday.
The two were indicted in March 2009 on charges amounting to what prosecutors described as “a complex tax fraud scheme concocted to avoid paying federal income taxes.”
A jury on Nov. 16 found the pair guilty of all charges against them. For Stilley, that meant one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts of tax evasion. For Springer, it meant those offenses plus a third count of tax evasion and two counts of failure to file a tax return. |
