Jury selection began Monday in Ocala, Florida in the tax fraud trial of actor Wesley Snipes and two co-defendants, known tax protesters Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas P. Rosile. Snipes is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud in connection with an attempt to collect $11.7 million in refunds for 1996 and 1997 and one count of making a fraudulent claim of payment for allegedly offering $13 million in fake checks in payment of taxes for those years. In addition, he faces six counts of failure to file tax returns for 1999 through 2004. The AP story is here.
