Wesley Snipes was sentenced to 36 months in prison, Thursday, the maximum sentence allowed. Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor charges for not filing his taxes.

“We think it sends a real message,” U.S. Attorney Robert O’Neill said. “Again you have to pay your taxes. If you dispute the taxes you owe, contact the I.R.S. and go through the formal process. To continually just say, ‘I don’t owe taxes, you must show me why I owe taxes;’ it seemed his position was ludicrous.”

I think if Snipes would have shown even an ounce of remorse he may have received a lighter sentence. His attitude throughout the trial was one of arrogance. The judge also pointed out that during his apology to the court today, Snipes never once mentioned the word “taxes” or his failure to pay them.
