Prisons are filled to the brim and they give him three years for tax evasion? a victimless crime?

Seems ridiculous to me.

Remember the saying, "The punishment should fit the crime"? Well, it is too bad we really don't take that mentality seriously. Instead of prison, they should make him live with absolutely nothing to his name.

But why should he not do the time because he is a star? If any of us pulled what he did we would probably face time, so should he.

I'm honestly glad he got time. I am sooooo tired of reading about famous people, who have obviously tons of money, who do stupid crap and get caught and then just get a slap on the wrist (i.e. probation) because they are famous, while us "normal" people get jail. (Remember Winona Ryder)

I don't care if these people are famous, you break the law, you pay the punishment.

Because so many stars were getting "star treatment" for breaking the law, I hope the fact that Wesley is going to jail makes them and the courts "rethink" their "because their stars" mentality. They deserve the same punishments as any other person in the U.S. who pulls the same crap that they do.
