The last two days of the Wesley Snipes trial on tax evasion and conspiracy charges has been full of paper. The government has been entering into evidence numerous documents that they claim show proof that Mr. Snipes has evaded taxes.
Today, Ocala.com reports that IRS Agent Cameron Lalli testified, identifying various documents. It’s not exciting, but the government is building a paper trail so that the jury can see exactly what happened. Dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s is necessary for convictions.
Meanwhile, it appears that the trial may last a couple more weeks. Defense attorney Robert Barnes “…proposed introducing several exhibits that went as high as [number] 308.” That’s a lot of exhibits. The prosecution has objected to all of those exhibits; Judge William Terrell Hodges appears to so far have allowed one of the 308 to be introduced. The defense will have to wait for Judge Hodge’s ruling on the other 307 exhibits.
