The Legal Intelligencer: Lawyer Charged With Forging Brother's Will Pleads Guilty to Tax Charges, by Shannon P. Duffy:

Allentown, Pa., attorney John P. Karoly Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to charges of dodging $1.9 million in federal taxes by hiding more than $5 million in income. In return, prosecutors agreed to drop all charges relating to an alleged fraud scheme in which Karoly, 59, was accused of fabricating wills after his brother and sister-in-law died in a plane crash.

But under the terms of the guilty plea, Karoly also promised that he would drop his claims in the state court battle over the couple's estates and renounce any share in those estates.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth Weber said Karoly has also agreed to a non-jury trial to resolve a third category of charges in which Karoly is accused of scheming to get a $500,000 tax deduction for charity by laundering money through a church.
