Court ordered Wesley Snipes to Serve 3 Years in Prison

Wesley Snipes is now headed to a federal prison to begin serving a three-year prison sentence for tax-related crime.

Snipes has been appealing for more than two years for his cases but this time, Ocala, Fl. Judge William Terrell rejected for a new trial.
Terrell said, "The defendant Snipes had a fair trial; he has had a full, fair and thorough review of his conviction and sentence. ... The time has come for the judgment to be enforced."
The "Blade" actor found guilty on tax evasion charges (three misdemeanor charges) in 2008.
