“A federal judge has sentenced action star Wesley Snipes to the maximum three-year sentence on tax charges.
Prosecutors had requested three years, one year for each of Snipes’ convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.
Snipes’ lawyers offered three dozen letters from family members, friends and even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington attesting to his good character. They argued he should get only probation, because all three convictions were misdemeanors and the actor had no previous criminal record.”
I guess the letters from Denzel and Woody didnt really help.

Wesley is no different than anybody else out here in the real world,how can someone so smart be so careles, so now what? Is the federal law suppose to cut him some slack,I don’t think so.Face reality like a man should and go on ahead and say your goodbyes to everyone in the real world.Now you get to be in a real movie, the only different is that you have money,friends,family and of course a home that someone else will maintain for you.Good luck you are still a good actor,now you can be a friend to someone elses pain.

100% correct he is no different so he should be able to get the same opportunity as others have not to go to jail and get probation or/or pay a fine Look at all the Hollywood heads that keep getting caught and get probation or community service mind you all white.

Wesley offered $5 million to the federal government so he could get a lighter sentence – Snipes wanted to appear in public service announcements as his punishment along with probation, ha!
The government refused it at first and then later accepted his payment yet they still gave him three years. Fucked up. They gave him the maximum sentence. They used him as an example. Don’t mess with the IRS.

The judge has to make an example of Nino Brown here to deter others from doing the same. If he goes easy on him, others will be encouraged to avoid paying their taxes also because they know they will only get probation if they have a clean record and their friends write letters about how nice they are.
Why do you think there are so many celbrity DUI’s? It’s because they all get off with probation, a fine and little to no jailtime. With the potentially deadly nature of DUI’s, punishment should have been harsh at the outset.
That’s my jurisprudence dissertation for the day. I’ve got to lie down.

Wesley es muyyyyyyyyyy stupido!!! He cut a few checks totalling $5 million, but couldn’t just pay what he owed in the first place? Straight up foolish. Nice lesson to teach your kids, Wes!

Google: America: Freedom to Fascism
Watch this movie by Arron Russo he was a good friend of Wesley Snipes.
The movie is about taxes how there is no law in the books.
The (IRS) has no law they just have the judges and the dumb juries that believe anything. There have been succesful cases of fighting taxes.
