Blade Man – Wants a Retrial!
Actor WESLEY SNIPES has pleaded for a Retrail after a case that has been dragging on over his 3-year jail sentence, which was first given to him in April 2008 over claims of Tax Evasion.
The ‘Blade’ star who was said to have “wilfully neglected” the filing of his income-tax said that some of the jury were being prejudice against him!
Apparently, emails were sent to his defence team which claimed that three jurers “told us Snipes was guilty before they even heard the first piece of evidence.” So this is enough to postpone a trial that’s 3 YEARS OLD, even more.
Snipes also wants to bring his old accountant into shit. KENNETH STARR was one of the main men talking against his former client in the trial, but at the time he was also under investigation himself for engaging in “criminal activities of conspiring to evade income taxes” with another separate client. Fair enough, maybe?
They’ll set a new date for yet another new trial on the case when/after it gets voted on.
I’m not about to jump ship and say that Snipes did do it, especially after all’a this! But if it is true, why the fuck don’t the richest mo’fos in the World just pay their taxes and move on? And avoid the bad-press, keep up their clean-reps etc? Like an extra $25,000 will deeply hurt your millions!?
Perhaps Wes needed a new idea on a film! But what a way to keep yourself in the spotlight when your agent doesn’t have any good news…
