Wesley Snipes Jailed For Three Years
Wesley Snipes, the Hollywood action star (Blade, 7 Seconds, Demolition Man, The Marskaman…), has been sentenced to the maximum three-year sentence for not filing tax returns.Prosecutors had requested the sentence, one year for each of Snipes’s convictions, saying the star of Blade and Demolition Man had “engaged a campaign of criminal tax conduct, combining brazen defiance with insidious concealment”, telling the US District Court in Florida he failed to pay at least $2.7 million in taxes.
Snipes, 45, offered more than 25 letters from family members, friends and even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Oscar winner Denzel Washington, attesting to his good character.
They argued he should get only probation, because all three convictions were misdemeanours and the actor had no previous criminal record.
But Judge William Terrell Hodges said Snipes exhibited a “history of contempt over a period of time” for US tax laws.
“In my mind these are serious crimes, albeit misdemeanors,” Judge Hodges said.
