The actor Wesley Snipes has lost his appeal of a prison sentence he received in 2008 for three misdemeanor tax charges, Reuters reported. In February 2008 a court in Ocala, Fla., sentenced him to three years in jail for willfully failing to file tax returns for 1999 to 2004.

During that time he earned more than $38 million appearing in several movies, including two sequels to the popular vampire thriller “Blade.” In the appeal Mr. Snipes said that he should have been considered for probation and that the lower court should have allowed him to argue for a change of venue from Florida, where Mr. Snipes has a home, to New York, where he was born. The ruling did not specify where Mr. Snipes would be serving his sentence.

Appeal Denied


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
