Wesley Snipes goes to Jail
Wesley Snipes a popular black actor was sentenced today to three years in jail for Tax evasion. He failed to file his tax returns for 1999-2004 and was convicted with three misdemeanors.
Snipes is known for his role in the movie Blade, which was about protecting humans from vampires. It really sucks for the upcoming movie, Gallowwalker, because he is the main character. Wonder what they’ll do now. Maybe hire Denzel Washington?
Don’t mess with the IRS, because they will get ya. And when they do, it’ll hurt real bad. He only owed the IRS around 400,000 and was convicted of three misdemeanors, but still got three years in prison. In a way, I’m glad to see that the juridical system doesn’t play favorites, even when it comes to C-list celebrities.
Yeah.

Don’t know if I would use Woody as a character witness.
Wow! You can drive drunk and endanger the lives of others (Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, etc,,) and get a slap on the wrist. But get three years for tax evasion, what’s wrong with that? Hmmmm makes you wonder
haha yeah, the US government wants it money, or you’ll pay with jailtime!
I AGREE ,YOU GIVE DUI DRIVERS A SLAP WHEN THEY PUT PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER,THE TAX EVASION FINE SHOULD BE HALF OF WHAT THEY OWE AND END IT THERE. IF THEY CANT PAY THEN APPLY SOME JAIL TIME BUT NOT TO MUCH WERE YOU CANT EARN A LIVING.
Yeah, they just want to set an example. It really sucks to spend 3 years in jail for something like that.
The day he was sentenced he wrote a check to the IRS and delivered it to the prosecutors, but he still got the maximum sentence.
