ED BROWN SUPPORTER PLEADS GUILTY
January 23, 2008
A man who helped Ed and Elaine Brown while they were holed up in their New Hampshire house pleaded guilty fo federal charges yesterday:
Fifty-year-old Robert Wolffe of Randolph, Vt., pleaded guilty Tuesday to aiding and abetting Ed and Elaine Brown and conspiring to interfere with the government's efforts to arrest them. The three charges carry a combined maximum sentence of more than 53 years in prison.Under a plea agreement, Wolffe did not have any charges reduced or receive promises of a sentence reduction. But his cooperation with prosecutors could be a factor in their ultimate sentencing recommendation.
The Browns retreated to their fortress-like house to avoid going to prison following their tax evasion convictions. They were arrested without violence by federal agents posing as tax-protest sympathizers.
