After a month of silence, Blade is taking a swipe at the feds and finally speaking out about the tax fraud case against him, claiming he's being made a "scapegoat" by overzealous prosecutors keen on taking down a celebrity.

Title: Judge sentences Snipes to 3 years for tax convictions
Post by: Foxy Brown on April 25, 2008, 01:44:26 AM

A federal judge has sentenced action star Wesley Snipes to the maximum three-year sentence on tax charges.

Prosecutors had requested three years, one year for each of Snipes' convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.

Snipes' lawyers offered three dozen letters from family members, friends and even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington attesting to his good character. They argued he should get only probation, because all three convictions were misdemeanors and the actor had no previous criminal record.
