Snipes' lawyers argued that he was a victim of crooked advisers, and the jury seemed to believe it. Co-defendants Eddie Ray Kahn, the founder of a tax protest group, and Douglas P. Rosile, an accountant who lost his licenses, were convicted Friday by the same panel of tax fraud and conspiracy. Both face up to 10 years in prison.

Well maybe that's the right result then. He gets the minor charges, but the idiots who convinced him of all this "there's no law that says you have to pay income taxes" nonsense get the heavy charges.
