The Feds Want Wesley In Custody
The U.S. Attorney’s Office wants Wesley Snipes behind bars!
The feds filed a motion Thursday with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to appeal a U.S. district judge’s May 22 decision allowing Wesley to remain free on bond while he appeals his three-year sentence for tax fraud. It likely will take weeks, if not months, for the court to hear arguments and make a decision.
Popsquire’s perspective…
If he’s not a flight risk, then just leave Wesley alone while he is appealing the conviction. Why should tax payers foot the bill for him to live in jail when an appellate court might invalidate the sentence anyway?
Plus, isn’t it more important that he pays what he owes instead of serving jail time? It seems like having to fork over millions of dollars is punishment enough
