Snipes’ attorney Billy Martin said outside the courthouse, “Mr. Snipes left America to begin filming Gallowwalker long before this indictment was returned. We want to make it clear that he did not avoid returning to the United States. He’s always been ready to return and he did not flee.” Snipes added, “I wanna say thanks to everybody, thanks to all of the fans out there for showing support. I look forward to clearing my name and resolving this issue post-haste.”
The actor is returning to Africa to continue working on the film. He faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted on the charges. – Damn! 16 years?? Well I guess even the rich & famous have problems paying their income taxes…
