Snipes Case set for Oral Argument
Wesley Snipes' misdemeanor convictions for failing to file a tax return have been scheduled for oral argument in November before the Eleventh Circuit. We blogged on this case with some frequency post verdict. Snipes now has his 7th attorney on board for the purpose of handling his appeal, Philadelphia attorney, Peter Goldberger. Snipes has a rather significant venue issue that was litigated pretrial. The issue -whether Snipes is a resident of central Florida (where he grew up) for purposes of filing tax returns, or whether his residency for tax purposes is in either New York, or Los Angeles where he has resided during his professional life. We’ll follow this appeal as briefs are filed.
Snipes remains free on bond pending appeal.
