OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A judge has ruled that actor Wesley Snipes'
federal tax-evasion trial will go forward in January in Ocala,
despite arguments by Snipes' lawyers for a delay and relocation.
The rulings were among a number U.S. District Judge William T.
Hodges made in the case Christmas Eve.
Snipes' lawyers had claimed he cannot get a fair trial in Ocala.
Snipes previously filed two motions to dismiss or transfer the
trial because of racial prejudices in Ocala.
Snipes allegedly conspired with two others to file false refund
claims based on a bogus argument that only income from foreign
sources was subject to taxation.
