Wesley Snipes’ Prosecutors Call For Jail Time
April 16th, 2008
Wesley Snipes should spent three years in prison for his “brazen defiance” of US tax laws, according to US federal prosecutors, who recommended that the actor serve a prison sentence and pay a $US5 million fine for his conviction in February of failing to file tax returns.
Snipes should be given the maximum penalty, US Attorney Robert O’Neill wrote in a court document, because he spent years acting in of "brazen defiance" of US tax laws.
The sentence should serve as a deterrent, O’Neill wrote.
"This case cries out for the statutory maximum term of imprisonment, as well as a substantial fine, because of the seriousness of defendant Snipes’ crimes and because of the singular opportunity this case presents to deter tax crime nationwide," O’Neill wrote.
