Verdict to Be Read Shortly in Snipes Tax Trial

A Florida jury has reached a verdict in the tax fraud trial of actor Wesley Snipes.

We're told it will be read this afternoon.

Snipes and two co-defendants are currently on trial for allegedly failing to file his 2000 federal taxes, for demanding $11 million in tax refunds on taxes he'd already paid, and bouncing checks to the U.S. Treasury. Snipes' attorneys say the "Passenger 57" star is the victim of unscrupulous accountants and sincerely believed he didn't have to pay taxes.

Stay tuned!

Is it true he doesn't like white people? Someone told me that and I haven't watched any of his movies since.

I'd never watch any of his movies....The guy is always pointing to racism when he don't get his way.

Even Hollywood wants nothing to do with this guy...and probably never will again.

I have never heard of him making any racist comments like . . . "I don't like white people". It wouldn't totally make since either; because he has had to work with Caucasian people on most of his movies.

He has a reputation for being nasty and violent and is alleged to have caused the permanent damage to Halle Berry's ear. She has never once named her assailant but it was disclosed by one of her other partners who was tired of being the victim of rumours. I wouldn't doubt it. Why do these rich celebrities allow themselves to get into trouble with the IRS? Duh!
