Hmmm. I'm not sure about Snipes getting the full three years for this just because he;s famous, and therefore needs to be made an example of.
Sounds to me like the judge would have been more lenient if he had been a nobody.
Bah.
That said, I can't bloody stand Mr Snipes.
EDIT - It seems I have misread the bleedin' article. Disregard last telegram. Cancel the milk.

Prosecutors argued for him to be made an example of. My last point still stands :P
