Or,

OCALA, Fla. - Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison on tax charges Thursday, a victory for prosecutors who sought to make an example of the action star by aggressively pursuing the maximum penalty.



It's just a shame they had to make an example out of him .. and not out of someone like Paris Hilton.

No, I think he was found innocent of the charges his advisors were guilty of but he still had some culpability for going along with it. When it comes to taxes, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. I've seen a bunch of these tax scams and there are lots of red flags. We can just say that if he wasn't aware of what he was doing, it was willfully so.
