The acquittal of Helio Castroneves from tax evasion charges showed that ignorance of law particularly tax laws does not make the accused guilty.
Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves and his sister were found not guilty of six charges of tax evasion on Friday.
The jury remained hung on the one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government for both defendants, leading the judge to declare a mistrial on that count, Local 10's Todd Tongen reported.
Castroneves' lawyer, Alan Miller, has also been found not guilty of all the charges against him.
Helio Castroneves and his sister, Katiucia, shed tears when the verdict was read.
