Ex-cop Keith Washington sentenced in Accokeek shootings
2008-05-28 15:21:00 Former Prince George's County police officer Keith Washington was sentenced to the maximum 45 years in prison for the shootings of two deliverymen at his Accokeek, Maryland home. One of the Marlo-employed movers, Brandon Clark, died from his injuries. Washington had been convicted of multiple charges including involunatry manslaughter for the attack which he claimed had been self-densnse.Keith Washington's wife maintained at sentencing that Washington was a hero for protecting his home and family, a statement that comes off as sadly incomplete. Somewhere along the line, Washington sadly forgot that part of his job as a police officer was to protect innocent people in the community at large. The movers did nothing to deserve such retribution.Aside from being a profound tragedy, the shootings also proved a political embarrassment as Washington had been the homeland security deputy director for the county, a job secured based on personal ties to County Executive Jack Johnson.----Rele...

Brenda Sullivan Sentenced for Caging Children
2008-05-23 14:28:00 Florida parent Brenda Sullivan was sentenced to 20 years in jail for abusing her teenage adopted son by caging him along with adopted twins as well. The 17-year-old weighed 22kg (3st 7lb) when child welfare workers found him in 2005. He suffered from severe medical and emotional problems and his mother, Brenda Sullivan, told a judge at the time that authorities told her to keep the boy in a crib. But in January she pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated child abuse. Prosecutors agreed to drop lesser child neglect charges. Two other children, 13-year-old twins the couple adopted as infants, testified that they were also kept in similar cages. Sullivan’s husband Wilson Sullivan had also caged and abused the children but died back in 2007 before trial. Her attorney said he was going to appeal because she is not a threat to society. Some attorneys just don’t get it. Jail is a punishment not just a deterrent. She should probably be more than imprisoned for abusing...

Star sentenced to 3 years for tax convictions
2008-04-26 05:45:00 Action star Wesley Snipes was sentenced today (April 25) by a federal judge to the maximum three-year sentence on tax charges in Ocala, US. Prosecutors had requested the three year sentence, one year for each of Snipes’ convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.Snipes’ lawyers offered three dozen letters from family members, friends and even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington attesting to his good character. They argued he should get only probation, because all three convictions were misdemeanours and the actor had no previous criminal record.But US District Judge William Terrell Hodges said Snipes exhibited a "history of contempt over a period of time" for US tax laws. "In my mind these are serious crimes, albeit misdemeanours," Hodges said. Snipes apologized while reading from a written statement for his "costly mistakes," but never mentioned the word taxes.

Wesley Snipes Sentenced To Three Years For Tax Evasion
2008-04-26 01:11:00 3 years. That?s the number of years that Wesley Snipes will be sent to prison for not paying his taxes. This is another example that lends credibility to the truism that one cannot escape death and taxes, unless you live in the Philippines. If my memory serves me right, tax evasion was also Al Capone?s downfall.But the question really is-- why the heck am I talking about Wesley Snipes in this blog? The obvious reason (though I will never own up to it) is that this is going to be fodder for search engines in the next few days or weeks and I?ll be damned if I?m going to let this opportunity pass by without me getting a piece of the action. Let?s see if I do get my hands dirty on this one.My official pronouncement however as to why I am including Wesley Snipes? sorry fate in this space is to warn those folks who are earning a lot from blogging that if you are not careful, you may be sharing Wesley Snipes' fate. Whatever you earn from blogging will always be covered by your own country...

Wesley Snipes Sentenced to Three Years in Jail
2008-04-25 08:42:00 Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced Thursday to three years in jail for tax fraud, CNN reported. Snipes was charged with failing to file taxes for six years, but the jury only found evidence for a three-year period. The total sum earned in that period was $13 million. Snipes' non-payment of taxes was a protest against taxes, based on his belief that the Internal Revenue Service was not a properly established government agency, ABC news reported. Snipes was convicted in February on three misdemeanor counts of wilfully failing to file federal tax returns for 1999-2001. Each count carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison. He was acquitted on two felony charges of filing false claims and fraud in seeking millions of dollars of refunds in other tax years. |
