Judge Refuses To Suppress Bruce Statements

DENVER (AP) - Anti-tax activist Douglas Bruce will have another day in court on his motions to dismiss a tax case against him or move it to Colorado Springs.

A Denver District Court judge on Monday refused to suppress statements made by tax Bruce in his tax evasion case. The judge will hear the other motions on Tuesday.

According to the Denver Post, Bruce was combative with Judge Anne Mansfield over Bruce's arguments and courtroom procedure on Monday. The judge told Bruce he had no factual or legal support for his motions to suppress the evidence.

Bruce is accused of failing to file tax returns in 2006 or 2007 and of dodging taxes on income made during those years and in 2005.
