In case you missed it, Wesley Snipes has been fighting the IRS over the last few years. While he has scored several victories, he has also suffered a few defeats.

Also anytime Wesley appears in Court, I will always remember his famous "Mizzzzzz Hawkins" speech in "New Jack City" as Nino Brown (See below).
