Actor Wesley Snipes faces up to three-year prison term

The one and only.
In 2007, his lawyers had challenged the venue, alleging that the government had chosen Ocala County, Florida, for trial for racially discriminatory reasons.

Yeah, because if your were convicted it had to be because of the color of your skin, not the fact that you didn't pay your goddamn taxes. :mad: Lock 'em up!

Agreed. See, that happens every time a black person is convicted of something. People have to hid behind the race card. Is it valid in some cases? Yes. But, more often than not, it's just a last resort of despiration.
I'd bet if Lindsay Lohan was black, the same thing would happen. Forget about all the evidence, all the broken laws, violations - NO. It's because of the color of her skin.

If we're going to hand out prison terms for movie performances, Nicholas Cage should be serving consecutive life sentences for everything he's ever done. Christ, what a fuckin' douche!
 
I wonder when Charles Rangel will join him. I won't hold my breath.

The weird thing about this case is that Snipes didn't even evade taxes...he wasn't convicted of any felonies. Failing to file is rarely even prosecuted...even with people who actually have money. The IRS just wants the taxes. Snipes though, he and his brilliant legal minds decided to just not pay and, when the IRS caught up with him, their defense was that Snipes wasn't Constitutionally obligated to pay.

As heinous as it is to see somebody sentenced to three years of productive life for a non-violent offense, he's actually pretty lucky that's all he got. He was calling Uncle Sam's bluff. Very stupid movie, Nino! Uncle Sam is his brother's keeper, literally!
 
One time Wesley Snipes supposedly asked Jenna Jameson if she ever had a dick up her ass, so claims Jenna Jameson on her THS show. I wonder if Wesley Snipes will now be asked this question.

If he was smart he would have did what most other extremely wealthy people, hire some lawyer to find loopholes and tax shelters to legally screw the American people out of the taxes that should be paid.
