Wesley Snipes heeft drie jaar cel gekregen

Holy fucking shit, zo juist is bekend geworden dat de day walker aka Nino Brown de komende drie jaar zijn medegevangenen van zich af moet gaan houden. Want Wesley Snipes is door een Amerikaanse rechter veroordeeld tot drie jaar gevangenisstraf voor belastingontduiking. Hiermee komt er een einde aan een langlopend conflict wat de 48 jarige acteur (bekende van zoveel badass rollen) met de Amerikaanse regering had.

After a lengthy attempt to appeal his 2008 conviction on three counts of failure to file income taxes -- one that included a motion for a new trial -- U.S. District Court Judge William T. Hodges has issued a 17-page order that says the "Blade" star must surrender to authorities and serve his three-year prison sentence.

Using a pair of e-mails from jurors as evidence, Snipes's defense team had attempted to argue, among other things, that the actor did not receive a fair trial because some members of the jury presumed his guilt. It's unclear whether another appeal might be attempted; e-mails seeking comment from one of Snipes's lawyers and his publicist have not been returned.
