Wesley Snipes is heading to jail. Snipes has lost an appeal of a three-year jail sentence for failing to file income tax returns between 1999 and 2001. The Blade actor looks to be heading to prison; a court has recently upheld his 2008 conviction.

Snipes, 47 who is free on bail, owed $2.7 million in back taxes which he refused to pay said prosecutors. Snipes has since apologized saying he was “unschooled in the science of law and finance”.

SnipesĀ said he should have been considered for probation and the three-year jail sentence is unreasonable. No report as of when Snipes is set to report to jail yet.

Do you think the three-year term is a bit too much?
