Wesley Snipes will be sentenced tomorrow in Ocala, Florida, for his conviction on three misdameaner charges of failure to file a tax return. The prosecution has asked that Snipes get the maximum sentence: three years at ClubFed. Snipes’ attorneys are asking for probation.
Linda Moreno, one of Snipes’ attorneys, told the Orlando Sentinel, “Mr. Snipes has led an otherwise exemplary life and is deeply sorry for his wrongful conduct. He has retained reputable tax professionals to assist him in resolving his tax liability and will make amends.”
Actors Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson both wrote letters to Judge William Terrel Hodges asking for leniency. Judge Hodges will make his decision tomorrow, and I’ll let you know what the sentence is when it’s released.
