Dad of five,Wesley Snipes, has been sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion.The actor will leave behind his four children with wife Nikki Nakyung Park(pictured) and one other son from a previous relationship. Although his attorneys fought long and hard,Mr.Snipes received the maximum sentencing for failing to pay $15 million in taxes:
VIA NYTIMES
A federal judge on Thursday sentenced the actor Wesley Snipes to three years in prison for willfully failing to file tax returns. Mr. Snipes, who was convicted in February, received one year for each count, to be served consecutively, and an additional year of probation. The sentence was handed down by Judge William Terrell Hodges of Federal District Court.
Mr. Snipes, who apologized for his actions before the sentence was announced, showed no immediate reaction to the verdict.
Judge Hodges allowed Mr. Snipes and a co-defendant, Douglas Rosile, to remain free on bond until they were summoned by either the United States Marshals Service or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.The sentencing came at the end of a daylong hearing in which lawyers for Mr. Snipes argued for leniency while federal prosecutors sought the maximum penalty possible.

    The Florida Judge, could have given Wesley Snipes , community service probation, that would have been more constructive. Willie Nelson was appreciated more and let off a little easier . I find this hard to swallow, i am pissed off- even Bush wants to make a Sales tax instead of IRS - Mr. Snipes did this not only for himself ,but for you and I - so stand up for Him and ask for a Pardon ! Mr. Snipes is not perfect , but who is ? No one deserves to waste away in Jail - run by Corporations for profit ! May G-D BLess Wesley Snipes and his Family .

    Wesley, when you punched Hale in the ear, you knew you were going to reap what you soed. You can not go around inficting bad upon ones and live like you are in heaven. It just does not work like that Snipes. Oh, yeah, the kids and wife are not all that hot being from diffrent racial background from the actor. I have seen more attractive from others.
