Because Of Larry King, Wesley Snipes Might Not Go To Jail!

Last night, Wesley Snipes was on Larry King Live to talk about his tax evasion conviction and his upcoming court ordered vacation to prison.

During the show, Larry read aloud a statement from one of the jury members on Wesley’s case. The juror admitted that there was “one juror that had said they knew Mr. Snipes was guilty right when they first saw him during the jury selection.”

Apparently, that person has never heard the phrase “innocent before proven guilty” or the phrase “keep your mouth shut.”

With this kind of evidence, Wesley’s legal team can now claim a mistrial on the basis of juror misconduct. Moments ago, they rushed to file an emergency motion for a new trial.

No word yet if the judge is allowing the motion or if Wesley will still be carted off to prison tomorrow.

If he doesn’t, that’s what we call one hell of a lucky break!
