Wesley Snipes awarded 3 year jail term



Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes has been ordered a three year jail term for tax-related crimes. Florida Judge William Terrell Hodges rejected a request from Snipes' lawyers to review his sentence and grant a new trial.
In April 2008, Snipes, 48, was found guilty of deliberately failing to file tax returns for 1999, 2000 and 2001.
He then launched an appeal and has been on bail ever since.But finally the judgement has been passed and people feel that it was the right decision. His lawyer will appeal to Supreme court now. Wesley, however, remained calm and positive throughout. He showed no anger or bitterness. 
But I don't really get it...the man must be quite rich. He has a name in the industry and has done many cool movies. And tax related crimes is not good. This is bad.
