Los Angeles - The Associated Press reports that Blade star, Wesley Snipes, was sentenced on Thursday to the maximum penalty of three years in prison for three misdemeanor convictions.

In some instances, that means those of celebrity stand greater risk of prosecution. But there’s nothing unusual about it, nor is there anything unlawful about it. It’s the way the system works.”
