Sweet, too bad it could not be 10, like what his partner in crime got.

"... Thursday, after a day-long hearing, Federal District Judge William Terrell Hodges talked of the importance of deterrence in tax cases and noted that, despite Mr. Snipes’ apology in court, he had a years-long record of defying the tax laws.

No fine was imposed. The judge left that to the civil process.

Mr. Snipes was seated as he heard the judge’s sentence. He had a stoic expression and pursed his lips repeatedly. Later, his wife, Nikki Park, collapsed in tears outside the courtroom.

A member of Mr. Snipes’ legal team said they would appeal.

“We were hoping for a complete acquittal,” a lawyer for Mr. Snipes, Linda Moreno, said. “I have faith in the process, and I have faith in the jury system. We will appeal.”

Mr. Snipes’ co-defendants Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas Rosile — who were convicted on two felony counts — received longer sentences.

Mr. Kahn — who has refused throughout to acknowledge Hodges’ authority — was given the maximum sentence of 10 years, plus three years of supervised release... "

By the way, his co-defendants where white boys (stupid white boys, but white nonetheless). They got heavier sentences.
The Bro' played the race card and lost. One down, more to go.
