Hollywood Actor Wesley Snipes, star of the Blade movies, was sentenced to *Three Years in Prison* for not resolving his past due taxes. Mr. Snipes and his attorneys were hoping to avoid prison since the charges were misdemeanors, however the leading prosecutor stated that the courts wanted to make an example of Wesley Snipes that even with mere misdemeanors, there is a chance that you will go to prison for multiple years if you do not resolve your back taxes.

"We think it sends a real message," U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill said. "Again you have to pay your taxes."
