WESLEY SNIPES gets 3 YEARS in PRISON
POST by NVus
WESLEY SNIPES may dodge them VAMPIRES in them BLADE flicks, but THURSDAY (4/24/08) he found out he couldn’t SHAKE the FEDS. Snipes was sentenced to THREE YEARS in Prison for failing to file U.S. INCOME TAX returns for 1999 through 2001.
Snipes was convicted in February on three misdemeanor counts. U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges handed down the maximum sentence and said he felt it was important to create a general deterrent against tax defiance.
“I am very sorry for my mistakes and errors,” Snipes told the judge. “This will never happen again.”
