Snipes gets a big break
By JJ MacNab | May 23, 2008
The judge has ruled that Snipes can remain out on bail pending appeal, and the appellate process can take years to complete.
What the judge said:
Obviously, having denied the Defendants’ motions asserting the issues he intends to raise on appeal, the Court is dubious as to the “substantiality” of those issues for purposes of appellate review. Nevertheless, the Court recognizes that the offenses of conviction are misdemeanor offenses, not felonies, and that the time required for the disposition of appeal may well equal — or nearly equal — the length of the term of commitment imposed. Additionally, the Court is not prepared to say that the issues on appeal are patently frivolous or asserted merely for purposes of delay.
