Wesley Snipes, the pathetic being who has made it clear via his insults that he has no love nor respect for his own women—is in big trouble. Karma is something, isn’t it?
Attorneys for Wesley Snipes ticked off more than 70 potential character witnesses, including several celebrities, as jury selection began Monday in the actor’s tax fraud and conspiracy trial.
Muhammad Ali, Spike Lee, Tom Brokaw, Barbara Walters, Woody Harrelson, Sylvester Stallone and Gus Van Sant were among the names mentioned.
Snipes, 45, and two co-defendants, both known tax protesters, are accused of conspiring to defraud the U.S. of millions of dollars. The actor allegedly first collaborated with Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas P. Rosile in 2000, then stopped filing tax returns.
Prosecutors say he fraudulently tried to retrieve $11 million in paid 1996 and 1997 taxes and directed his movie companies to stop withholding taxes from employees.
Attorneys for Snipes insist he was misled by unscrupulous advisers and didn’t know he was doing anything wrong. They have tried, unsuccessfully, to separate the three defendants at trial.
Snipes, who starred in the “Blade” movies, faces as many as 16 years in prison if convicted, while Kahn and Rosile face 10 years.
GO HERE to read the rest of the story. I guess he subscribes to Leona Helmsley’s belief that “only the little people pay taxes”. Get his butt, IRS!
