Poor Wesley Snipes. He’ll have to spend several weeks in beautiful bucolic Ocala, Florida. Judge William Terrell Hodges denied Snipes’ motions for a stay in the trial pending the ruling of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Snipes’ appeals of Hodges’ earlier rulings. Given that the 11th Circuit hasn’t issued an emergency stay of Snipes’ trial (which they could have) it’s all systems are go and Snipes’ trial will almost certainly begin on Monday in Ocala.
So for Mr. Snipes’ benefit, here are some of the attractions he has to look forward to while being on trial in Ocala:
– Ocala is the “Horse Capital of the World” according to their chamber of commerce. Visit a horse farm or the Ocala Carriage Museum.
– Go and see Always … Patsy Cline at the Ocala Civic Theater (opens January 31st).
– Visit the Ocala National Forest.
– Play a round of golf at any of the 22 nearby golf courses and country clubs.
In any case, Wesley Snipes may wish to enjoy these diversions now as he may be spending a significant amount of time at ClubFed (where there just aren’t that many diversions) in the near future.
