Did the acclaimed Black action-movie star duck and roll under the tax system, or was he simply asking the Internal Revenue Service for help in filing his returns? On Monday morning, federal prosecutors, defense attorneys and a judge will sift through dozens of prospective jurors from four Central Florida counties with the goal of seating a 12-member jury. The jury will take up to four weeks to determine whether actor Wesley Snipes is guilty of conspiracy and presenting false claims for millions of dollars in tax refunds. Snipes also is charged with failing to file tax returns for six years.
If convicted, he faces up to 16 years in prison. Details>>>
