 Jury selected in Wesley Snipes tax trialCategory: Cinema & TV - Posted by: Rovtar on Jan 16th, 2008Wesley Snipes may have to waive a claim that he previously received ineffective counsel, a judge said Tuesday after jury selection concluded in the actor’s tax trial. Snipes was initially represented by two lawyers who also defended Michael Vick... in the football player’s dogfighting case. One of them, Daniel Meachum of Atlanta, is one of Snipes’ longest-serving advisers. Both were dismissed by the action star last year, with Snipes saying that he received ineffective counsel and that attorney Billy Martin ignored his case in favor of Vick’s. U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges at the time agreed to delay the trial but called it a ploy. |

 Wesley Snipes owes the IRS almost $38 milCategory: Cinema & TV - Posted by: Rovtar on Jan 13th, 2008Actor Wesley Snipes filed no tax returns on $37.9 million in income from 1999 to 2004, even after the Internal Revenue Service told him in 2002 that he was under criminal investigation, according to documents filed ahead of Snipes’ tax fraud trial.... The trial was set to begin on Monday in U.S. District Court in Ocala, Florida, 80 miles northwest of Orlando and the celebrity enclave of Isleworth, where prosecutors say Snipes lived at the time of the suspected fraud. Snipes, 45, was charged in a 2006 indictment along with a known tax protester and a former accountant whom the U.S. Justice Department said had been barred by a federal court from preparing other people’s tax returns. |
