Looks like Wesley Snipes is headed to the big house. Denzel wrote a letter on his behalf, as did Woody Harrelson pleading with the judge to spare his prison sentence. Snipes attorneys actually thought the verdict was considered unreasonable, after attempting to appeal his hearing. Wesley was acquitted of felony fraud and conspiracy charges yet was convicted of three counts of failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2001 (according to the Jamaican Observer). The judge threw the book at Wesley giving him the maximum sentence in a Florida court room back in 2008. Records reveal he avoided reporting as well as paying 1.5 million in federal income taxes.
He was apprehended while trying to use a bogus passport at an airport in South Africa and was arrested after returning to the U.S.
Do you think this is his accountants fault, his fault, or simply a conspiracy?
