The judge in the Wesley Snipes tax evasion case has just sentenced him to 3 years in jail!

U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges said Snipes exhibited a “history of contempt over a period of time” for U.S. tax laws, and granted prosecutors the three year sentence they requested — one year for each of Snipes’ convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.

Criminal tax prosecutions are relatively rare — usually the cases are handled in civil court, where the government has a lower burden of proof. Prosecutors said Snipes’ case was important to send a message to would-be tax protesters not to test the government. (Source)

It’s now possible that Flavor Flav, Tyra Banks and maybe even my favorite detective, Caroline Mason could win an Emmy award!  The Academy of Arts & Sciences recently announced that reality tv shows are now eligable for the Emmys!

A category recognizing “outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program” was created by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and will be presented at the 60th annual Emmys in September.

The award recognizes that reality TV has become “an integral part of television and our culture,” John Shaffner, chairman and CEO of the TV academy, said in a statement Tuesday announcing the new honor. (Source)

Juanita Bynum, the “Face of Domestic Violence” is taking her experience to TV’s “Divorce Court.“  In episodes set to air Thursday and Friday of this week, Bynum observes and weighs in on a case involving domestic violence.    Her husband, Thomas Weeks, who Bynum said  ”choked her, pushed her down, kicked and stomped her … until a bellman pulled him off of her” ~  will not be appearing on the show and is currently involved in violence and anger counseling as a condition of his sentence.

Bynum told Judge Lynn Toler — who hears cases on the syndicated show distributed by Twentieth Television — that she saw signs of trouble in her marriage to Thomas W. Weeks III before the Aug. 21 incident that ended in a physical altercation in a hotel parking lot outside of Atlanta.

“I was just trying to make it work because I don’t like losing relationships,” Bynum said. “All of this just kept getting swept under the rug … So you begin to adapt to a very wrong and very unhealthy marriage.”
