Celebrity Justice
Snipes Can't Drop Soap for a Loooong Time

Wesley Snipes won't be getting a Nicole Richie special in the big house: TMZ has learned that Prisoner 57 -- or whatever number he gets -- will have to do two-and-a-half years hard time (out of the three he was sentenced to). And that's only if he's a really good prisoner.

Federal inmates can't get parole, so Wes will be in for at least, by our calculation, 930 days.

32. Do you all realize that he owes back taxes for 10 YEARS!!! All the millions he has made and didn't think he had to pay taxes for 10 years? NO, because HE was alerted years ago and his response was to IGNORE the notices. In the TEN YEARS he failed to pay HIS taxes for being a US resident has mounted up to 15 - 10 MILLION!!!

this couple lived in NH : A couple convicted of tax evasion for concealing $1.9 million in income was sentenced to prison Tuesday, but they refused to attend the hearing and have vowed not to leave their fortress-like mansion.
The Browns were convicted in January of scheming to hide $1.9 million of income between 1996 and 2003. U.S. District Judge Steven McAuliffe sentenced them each to 5 1/4 years in prison.

The Browns tried to use the "it's in our Constitution that we don't have to pay Federal Income Tax" defense. Obviously that didn't work since they both (an elderly NH couple) sit behind bars.

Wesley got off easy as far as i'm concerned!!!

36. notice Sharpton & Jackson doesn't want to touch this one? Messing with the IRS is a fight they opted to keep mum this time!

37. Calling a minimum security federal prison camp "hard time" is stretching the truth. You can bet that once he is assigned a security classification he will be going to a minimum security federal prison camp and be sharing spaces with white-collar cons and bad little corporate titans. It won't be the cushy Eglin federal prison camp, aka "Club Fed," because the days of private rooms with the comforts of home, fine food, and leisurely golfing in the cushy Eglin federal camp in Florida are long gone. The Eglin "Club Fed" is closed. But there are plenty of other minimum security federal prison camps remaining in which life ain't all that bad. So give the BS a rest TMZ. Snipes will not be doing "hard time."

40. I just can't stand the stupidity of some people's comments, it drives me crazy.

41. The groom killing in NY is not a racial thing. A black cop, a hispanic cop (of color) and a white cop shot the guy. Evidently, the court found the evidence beyond doubt that the cops righty believed they were in danger. Just because he was getting married the next day doesn't mean he wasn't causing trouble.

I also agree Sharpton and Jessie are keeping their mouths shut on Snipes because it is an IRS issue. They certainly don't want the IRS looking into THEIR stuff..interesting how those two self serving knuckleheads are silent..

Although I do think Snipes sentence is excessive.

44. Ok Jason even if we are sheep and paying an "illegal tax" every sheep should have to pay this "illegal tax". I can bet that homeland security or FBI is monitoring your myspace.

45. yeah don't be dogging al and jessie because white people always get into some stuff where there mouths got em into something that tail couln'dt get em out of. recall dog the bounty hunter. Why don't you run to each other for help always need black folks to straighten out your mess like past history. Get some unity in your own community and quit blacks to get you out of trouble. If you had some good leaders and not bunch of substitute teachers representing you , you wouldn't be so damn nasty.
