Well he tried…
BBC News is reporting that the Blade Trilogy
actor is facing three years in prison after losing an appeal against his
conviction for tax offenses.
Lawyers
for snipes fought for two years arguing that three years in prison was
too harsh for him but the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in
Atlanta found that a three-year term in federal
prison was just right.
He
has been on bail ever since.
He
earned more than 37 million dollars between 1999 and 2004 but did not
file individual federal income tax returns for any of those years.
According
to CNN Denzel Washington, Woody Harrelson, and TV judges Joe Brown and
Greg Mathis wrote letters on his behalf but it didn’t help which means
he'll have to serve his time.
Let’s hope he
will get out on good behavior.
