Wesley Snipes heading to prison on tax charges

Wesley Snipes heading to prison on tax charges(HMG Celebrity News) ? Sad to hear that action star Wesley Snipes has been ordered to surrender to federal authorities immediately and begin serving his three-year sentence for tax evasion.

Prosecutors had argued that, for almost a decade, the actor avoided paying income taxes to the tune of millions of dollars and he was found guilty of failing to file returns when he stood trial in the spring of 2008.� His lawyers appealed the verdict and the ?Blade star ?was freed on bail to challenge the ruling.

But Snipe lost the appeal in July and was due to surrender to police in September, until a U.S. District Court judge granted him a postponement pending a retrial hearing this month.� But in court on Friday, Snipes was told he must surrender himself for execution of sentence upon receipt of notice from the United States Marshal or the Bureau of Prisons as to where, when and to whom he should report for that purpose.?� In rendering his decision Friday, according to CNN, the judge wrote ? The Defendant Snipes had a fair trial; he has had a full, fair, and thorough review of his conviction and sentence by the Court of Appeals; and he has had a full, fair, and thorough review of his present claims, during all of which he has remained at liberty. The time has come for the judgment to be enforced.?
