The 3rd Circuit has overturned tax fraud convictions for three members of a pacifist religious sect in New Jersey that opposes paying federal taxes, finding the district court's jury instructions constructively amended the indictment. The defendants, members of Restored Israel of Yahweh, had been convicted of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and other tax-related charges. They ran a home-renovation business employing sect members and nonmembers, but deducted federal taxes only from nonmembers' paychecks.
