Wesley Snipes Photos & Pics Archive

Wesley Snipes is gonna's spend three hard years behind bars for tax fraud after being sentenced today by a Florida judge.

Snipes tried to get out of doing time by calling in favors from friends in high places -- Denzel Washington, Woody Harrelson, and TV's Judge Joe Brown filed testimonials about Wesley's character but even that was enough to keep him from going to jail.

In February, Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file a tax return. Maybe he has the same accountant as Britney!

Lucky for Snipes, however, he was acquitted today of felony tax fraud and conspiracy charges, otherwise he coulda been behind bars for 16 years!!!

Why on earth would Wesley Snipes joke about being "the last celebrity out of the club"? He was certainly keeping current when we bumped into him outside of Area - not only did he have plenty to say about Eddie Murphy and his Oscar picks, but even his shrugged-off getaway lines have some bearing on recent events!
