Wesley Snipes Gets Three Years For Tax Fraud

Snipes was convicted in February on three misdemeanor charges for not filing his taxes. The government claimed he owed $2.7 mil — but Snipes’ attorneys argued it was just $228,000. No fine was imposed, but the three-year sentence was the max he could have gotten.

Snipes was not forced to surrender immediately. Instead, the judge ruled he could surrender at a later date, closer to his New Jersey home.

A fair sentence, to be sure. Only a year for each of the Blade movies. That’s a cake walk. I would have thrown in the Judas Cradle or the Spanish Donkey just for “Too Wong Foo” alone. Something with a little more bite and 16th century Germanic Europe feel to it. Frankly, I can’t think of a single modern-day equivalent evil enough to slake the cinematic sin that was Noxeema Jackson.
