Our system is pretty messed up. There's bigger people to fry and put in to jail than those that fail to file taxes. The prison system should be housing rapist and murders. Not tax fraud infringer's..

:

A federal judge has sentenced action star Wesley Snipes to the maximum three-year sentence on tax charges.

Prosecutors had requested the maximum three-years, one year for each of Snipes' convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.

Attorneys for the action asked U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges to limit the sentence during a hearing earlier in the day. Snipes' lawyers offered three dozen letters from family members, friends and even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington attesting to his good character. They argued he should get only probation, because all three convictions were misdemeanors and the actor had no previous criminal record.
