Vincent Hallinan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent Hallinan (December 16, 1896 - October 2, 1992) was a lawyer from San Francisco, California. He ran for President of the United States in the 1952 election, as the candidate for Henry Wallace’s Progressive Party and was the third highest polling candidate in the election[citation needed] . He and his wife Vivian were indicted by the IRS on 14 counts of tax evasion.
Vincent was convicted on five counts and was fined $622,000 and sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, after he reported only 20% of his income from 1947 to 1950.[1] Vivian was acquitted. This was Hallinan's second federal prison term, having served a six month term after the Harry Bridges’s trial. He was subsequently disbarred by the State Bar of California.
Vincent Hallinan is the father of San Francisco attorney and politician Terence Hallinan.
