Wesley Snipes gets sentenced to 3 years
April 25, 2008 – 5:44 pmThis is a bunch of crap seriously. Sure, he definitely needs to make good on the amount he owes, PLUS fines. But sentencing him to 3 years in jail that they taxpayers have to pay for is ridiculous. I know it will be appealed and at minimum I do think it will be at least reduced now that the IRS got their message out, but it really makes me hate the politics that go on in D.C.
A jury convicted Snipes on the misdemeanor charges February 1, but he was acquitted of more serious felony charges of tax fraud and conspiracy. Jurors accepted his argument that he was innocently duped by errant tax advisers.
