Strange, the top comment I see is about the punishment fitting the crime and Wesley snipes getting prison time.
I believe most of us do not know all the facts about any case. If you did something wrong you should be punished for it.... and I'm glad he is. I don't care who you are - there's a reason why lady justice is blind, because no man is above the law.
