Wesley Snipes's 3-Year Prison Sentence Upheld

After nearly two and a half years of appeals, Wesley Snipes's three-year prison sentence for tax evasion was upheld Friday by a panel in Atlanta. The actor's lawyers had insisted the punishment was "unreasonable," arguing instead for probation after more than $15 million had gone unpaid for the better part of a decade. Snipes has been free on bond since April 2008; his reporting date to begin his sentence hasn't been announced. [CNN]
