July 2010

Wesley Snipes' three-year prison sentence for failing to file tax returns -- resulting in an unpaid tax bill of around $17 million -- was "well within" the "considerable discretion" of a U.S. District Court, a federal appeals court has decided. Which means the sentence stands.

Though found not guilty on federal tax fraud and conspiracy charges, Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor counts in 2008 in Ocala, Fla., for failing to file tax returns. Thirty-six months was the maximum sentence possible.

The actor, famous for "Blade" and "White Men Can't Jump" but seen most recently in "Brooklyn's Finest," has been out on bail pending the decision of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Oh lord.

I'm not guilty. You're the one that's guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians, the Columbian drug lords IRS workers, all you who lobby for making drugs taxes legal. Just like you did with alcohol during the prohibition. You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kick the ballistics here: Ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem. Not one of us in here owns a poppy field CPA Firm. This thing is bigger than Nino Brown Wesley Snipes. This is big business. This is the American way.

Wesley Snipes has always been too old school for his own good.

Why is it the REAL brothas go to jail?

He should've gone to jail for hitting Halle Berry upside the head and busting her eardrum.

I hope somebody in prison knocks Wesley upside his head so that he loses some hearing.....he deserves jail...its about time.......

Wasn't that Justice who busted her eardrum. Wes is a dick, but he is getting a bad rap on that one when it wasn't him.

No,Wesley did it. Christopher Williams confirmed it awhile ago.

I did a report on Halle in my 9th grade theater class. When I mentioned she had lost her hearing behind an ex lover the whole room let out a big GASP

Good! It's time that these celebrities stop playing games and pay their damn taxes.Maybe a few years in jail is what it will take to make Wesley take this shit seriously.
