Helio is one lucky Taurus dude, today a jury acquitted him on tax evasion. I wonder if they were Dancing with the Stars fans? Jurors deliberated for six days before reaching their verdict on Friday.

Castroneves has twice won the Indianapolis 500 winner, and was also champ of TV’s “Dancing With The Stars” in 2007. His sister and business manager, Katiucia Castroneves, was also acquitted on the tax evasion counts and the jury also hung on the conspiracy count. His Michigan lawyer, Alan Miller, was acquitted on the conspiracy count and three counts of tax evasion.

The three were accused of conspiring to evade millions in taxes over a five-year period. They had faced up to six years in prison.YIKES!!! Really scary stuff!

Flanked by attorneys and an entourage of friends, Castroneves emerged from the downtown federal courthouse, his eyes swollen and red.

He showed off a rosary, proclaimed his faith and interviewed with both U.S. and Brazilian press.

”It’s been a nightmare, and finally we wake up,” said Castroneves, 33, who was sidelined from IndyCar racing during his legal ordeal. “Instead of going to Disneyland, I want to go to Long Beach and race.”

And then he was off, jumping into a black Porsche Cayenne SUV to take him to Miami International Airport.

Thank goodness the jury had mercy on him. No one is too happy with Uncle Sam these days, plus he’s a likeable guy. Congrats for the IRS victory!!!
