Wesley Snipes Aquitted of most serious charges on tax protesing case, whadya think?
    #7967652 - 02/02/08 05:06 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

OCALA, Fla. — The actor Wesley Snipes was acquitted of the most serious charges against him on Friday...
Mr. Snipes was found not guilty on two felony charges of fraud and conspiracy. He was also acquitted on three misdemeanor charges of failing to file tax returns or to pay taxes, but was convicted on three others. He faces up to three years in prison.

----

I don't know about this verdict cuz I hadn't followed the case, but I don't think snipes did himself any good by writing bad checks to the gov't. His defense was that he didn't know his failure to pay millions was illegal, as the crim. statute has a scienter requirement.

Anyways, I don't really care. I think crim. tax laws are pretty excessive anyways. Its hard for me to imagine a case where someone deserves more than the max three years snipes' faces now. In fact, I don't see why most of these cases couldn't be handled through civil remedies. They have no problem exercising these in drug cases.



What do you think?
