Wesley Snipes Free on Bail
Posted on May 22, 2008 at 10:24 pm (PST)
Yesterday a judge said Wesley Snipes would not have to report to jail on June 3rd if he was granted bail. Today a court ruled Snipes could remain free on bail while he appeals his conviction. The judge granting the bail in Florida said:
"The Court recognizes that the disposition of an appeal may well equal, or nearly equal, the length of the term of the commitment imposed."
Translated, that means if the conviction is upheld by the appeals court, Snipes may do little or no jail time.

No, that’s not what it means.
If the conviction is upheld by the appeals court, he’ll still have to do the 3 years.
What the judge meant in this quote is that the appeal itself could take 3 years. So, it wouldn’t be fair to make Snipes sit in jail for 2-3 years and then end up winning his appeal and not having to do any jail time after all.
He may very well wind up behind bars here.
