Actor ordered to pay costs of his own prosecution on tax charges.
Prosecutors who felt that actor Wesley Snipes has gotten too many breaks since his conviction on tax charges probably don’t mind a judge’s latest decision. Snipes was ordered Wednesday to repay $217,000 in costs for his prosecution since he was convicted of failing to file tax returns. Snipes was sentenced to prison, but is free while he appeals the verdict. Prosecutors recently objected when Snipes received permission to travel to Europe to star in a film.
