Snipes fate now in hands of jury

By: Preston Rudie
Ocala, Florida – A 12 member jury has been deliberating since 9 this morning in the tax fraud case of Hollywood film star Wesley Snipes. Authorities say the actor failed to pay federal taxes between 1999 and 2004 on income totaling $42-million.
Snipes legal team did not call any witnesses during the more than two-week long trial, instead telling jurors the prosecution failed to prove the Orlando native did any wrong. In fact Snipes lawyers say the 45-year old repeatedly tried to meet with IRS officials to discuss his situation, but was never granted a meeting.
Authorities also say Snipes filed for more than $11-million in false tax returns.
Two other men are standing trial with Snipes; Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas Rosile.
If convicted on all the charges filed against him, Snipes could be sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Jury selection for the Snipes case began back on January 14th in federal court.
