At today’s court proceedings for The Wesley Snipes Totally Fucking Insane Tax-Avoidance Trial of the Century, the actor’s lawyer conceded that while his client’s statements about how he wound up in this unfortunate predicament might bear the faint whiff of batshit, the tensions between Snipes and the IRS are over honestly arrived-at “disagreements,” not something uglier like “fraud.” Reports the AP: “Defense attorney Robert Barnes conceded Snipes’ arguments may have been crazy, but insisted that didn’t make them criminal. ‘Disagreement with the IRS is not fraud of the IRS, is not deception,’ Barnes said. ‘It was an attempt to engage the IRS, to go through the IRS procedures and processes and see who’s right.’” [Yahoo!
