Always Bet on Black! Snipes (Almost) Acquitted

31. Why is it our stupid country refuses to convict celebrities? They just will continue to steal, murder and thumb their noses at the law by saying to themselves, I'm a celebrity and you never convict a celebrity. These people are guilty and belong in jail!

34. It's amazing the justice system for celebs is just as bad in florida as it is in California. If convicted he could have gotten up to 16 years in jail. This is an outrage. He gets a 12 million dollar illegal refund and doesn't file his returns since 2000 and he gets aquitted. All of you who think this is okay remember he makes a hell of alot of money more that all of you and he doesn't have to pay taxes. Double standard indeed.

40. This is crazy, he owed millions of dollars in taxes and there was a man in Maryland who wrote a bad check to install a burglar alarm for his mother's house. He either had to pay the fine or was going to jail for like 20 years. Where is the justice.

43. I didn't follow his story (just heard about 'tax evasion') so does anyone know if it was deliberate on his part or was he scammed by his CPA, for instance?

44. do yall really think he shouldn't have to have to pay? im having to pay. do you think if this had been you youd be getting the same treatment? everyone i know has to pay. we work at jobs........we do a service. does that mean we should stop paying our taxes now? yall are cheering for him to cheat the government so they wont have his money so theyll need more so they can tax those of us who actually pay. what is your deal? i dont want to pay more than i already do. do you? i feel i pay enough already. i am middle-class and work hard and im proud of that. i just dont want to have to end up having to pay for things ppl like him end up paying his way out of because of who he is. he is a good actor. i like his movies, but he should have to pay his taxes like the rest of us. am i th only one who feels this way?
