‘Blade’ Actor Wesley Snipes To Wear Prison Stripes

OCALA, Fla. — A federal judge on Thursday sentenced the actor Wesley Snipes to three years in prison for willfully failing to file tax returns.

Mr. Snipes, who was convicted in February, received one year for each count, to be served consecutively, and an additional year of probation. The sentence was handed down by Judge William Terrell Hodges of Federal District Court.

Mr. Snipes, who apologized for his actions before the sentence was announced, showed no immediate reaction to the verdict.

In a prepared statement, Mr. Snipes said: “I’m very sorry for my mistakes. I acknowledge that I have failed myself and others.” Source

If filing taxes is voluntary…then ….hummm….?

Also, I cannot help but remember that it was Wesley Snipes that used to date Halle Berry and he used to beat her up. It is because of him that she has hearing loss in her right ear.

Somewhere in the universe of karma, this must be some sort of justice.
