Actor Wesley Snipes is appealing his three year prison sentence on federal tax evasion charges. He insists the prison sentence that was handed down onto him was “unreasonable”.
Oh really Wes
In 2008, Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax return.
In the appeal the actor’s attorney claims the tax evasion trial should have taken place in New York and not in Florida.
In a Georgia Court of Appeals on Friday, (Nov 20) his attorney accused prosecutrs of seeking to make an example out of the actor, insisting the sentence “focused too heavily on deterrance.”
However, prosecution seems to beg the differ. They believe Goldberger’s attempt beg, whine and plead will not change Snipes’ obvious wrongdoing.
“Wesley Snipes received a fair trial and fair sentence,” assistance U.S. attorney Patricia Barksdale said. “His numerous appeals do not make that sentence erroneous.”
Looks like Wesley Snipes is going to do that time and no amount of appeals will stop it.
