Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor charges for not filing his taxes.
During the sentencing, Snipes apologized for his actions, but the judge indicated that a major reason for the maximum penalty was to deter others from trying something similar.
Snipes was not forced to surrender immediately. Instead the judge said he can surrender at a later date, somewhere nearer to his New Jersey home.
Snipes’ defense team spent the morning arguing that he should not have to go to prison.
