Jury selection set today in trial of Pensacola evangelist Hovind

Jury selection begins today in the trial of Pensacola evangelist Kent Hovind, who is charged with 58 counts of tax fraud.

Hovind is accused of failing to pay $473,818 in federal income, and Social Security and Medicare taxes for employees of his Creation Science Ministry between March 31, 2001, and Jan. 31, 2004.

Hovind owns Dinosaur Adventure Land on North Palafox Street, a creationist theme park dedicated to debunking evolution.

Hovind appears before U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers. If jury selection is completed in time today, opening remarks from the prosecution and defense could take place.
