Snipes Goes to Jail for Tax Evasion

"Wesley Snipes Gets Three-Year Sentence For Tax-Evasion?

Action-hero, Wesley Snipes had better brush up on his 'Blade' martial arts skills, because word is, he's looking at three years in the big house for tax evasion. A federal appeals court in Atlanta upheld the three-year sentence issued by a lower court yesterday. Wesley Snipes was found guilty of not paying over $12 million in taxes between the years of 1999 and 2001. His attorneys argued that the sentence of 36 months was 'unreasonable' but the court responded

'The district court acted well within its considerable discretion in sentencing Snipes to thirty-six months in prison'


Wesley Snipes gets three years over taxes while the likes of T.I. and Lil Wayne get less than a year for stockpiling weaponry that could overtake a small country? So now who is the bigger risk?
