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.

110. I think that this sentence is bull. It is common knowledge that long prison sentences are NOT a deterrent to others, nor are they going to facilitate any sort of rehabilitation. This sentence is a WASTE of tax dollars, unless they are going to add the housing bill to Wesley's tax bill. If he can't work, how is he going to pay us back? No matter what any idiot says on this or any other board, the government doesn't have any money of its own. All "government money" is OUR money, the taxpayer's. Yes, he didn't pay taxes as he is legally bound to. (The constitution is not the end of all Law.) If you earn money is the U.S., you pay tax in the U.S. like it or not. However, this crime should be dealt with through a supervised release program. There are plenty of Violent offenders who have been sentenced to less time than this. For more information on prison disparity issues visit the sentencing project at: http://www.sentencingproject.org/Default.aspx
for an example of a child molester only receiving PROBATION, not ANY jail time, let alone 3 yrs in ANY prison see: http://www.dreamindemon.com/2008/04/23/anthony-j-boyer-got-a-sweet-deal/

Violent criminals and sex offenders should go to jail. And that's it. We are throwing away our dollars for nothing.

111. Number 10 I'm educated enough to know your a nut job and if you don't like paying taxes there is a cell waiting for you too next to MR. Snipes. He was arrogant through the whole ordeal educate your self with how he treated the whole process and you can see why the judge threw the book at him.

112. why should wesley have to pay taxes? he's black, there is no reparation pay so therefore black people should not pay taxes. Did white people pay taxes for nearly four hundred years of free labor?

113. What does that mean: There is no law that says you must pay your taxes? We have tax laws dumb asses that say everyone must pay a percentage of their income to the government. Quit trying to educate yourself on TMZ and myspace, twits. Go to school. I can't stand the pompous judges out there consumed with power, and so high on a celebrity case that they want to make "examples" of people. I'd like to see the arrogant, all powerful judges that try to make EXAMPLES of celebrities lose their jobs. It should be against the law to punish someone simple to make an EXAMPLE of them. To instill fear in the population is mideval. I hope TMZ is keeping tabs on these celebrity whoring judges, dig through their trash, find out all the sleezy, corrupt, immoral dealings of the judges that want their names in the new. I hope Wesley's lawyers' appeals get him off and I hope the private life of the judge that wants to use him as an EXAMPLE to instill fear in us, is exposed. You know he has shady deals, mistresses, come on TMZ dig. He wants fame? GIVE IT TO HIM!
