Wesley Snipes and lawyers to appeal conviction

We all know Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes from his roles in movies such as Blade in the Blade Trilogy. But now, he is making a buzz again because of his recent conviction when he was sentenced to 3 years in prison at Pennsylvania ‘s Federal Correctional Institution McKean. This is for his failure to pay his tax returns in April 2008.

Snipes’ lawyers have now appealed the case and demanded that a jury misconduct must be investigated. They also released a statement saying that they have allegedly received an email from one of the jury who they refuse to name. The said e-mailer sender claimed that three people on the panel had already came up with their judgment way before Snipes’ 2008 trial had begun.

However, the jurors released a statement through the producers of Larry King Live that read:

The statement read: “There was one juror that had said they knew Mr. Snipes was guilty when they first saw him during jury selection…

“There was one juror that had said they knew Mr. Snipes was guilty when they first saw him during jury selection. Two other jurors then agreed and said that they thought he was guilty when they first saw him before the trial began. We were deadlocked on our decision about Mr. Snipes before this happened. I was not expecting to hear that from a juror and most of the jurors felt the same. That’s when a deal was made to find him, Mr. Snipes, guilty on the failure to file taxes and not guilty on the federal tax evasion charges. We did not think he would go to jail.”

Snipes and his team of lawyers are determined to appeal this case until it gets reviewed by a judge in Ocala, Florida. Unfortunately, this will not postpone Snipes’ serving time inside the prison.

Computer Geek – Facebook : A Review on ‘The Social Network

A computer, recent heartbreak and desire are just three of the factors that gave Harvard University student Mark Zuckerberg an idea to come up with a social network site that will later on conquer everyone’s social lives and be called ‘Facebook’. These are dramatically portrayed on David Fincher’s latest masterpiece, The Social Network.

Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song, Armie Hammer, Max Minghella and Rooney Mara, this critically-acclaimed movie tells the story of how the founding of the internationally-famous social networking site Facebook all began and all the obstacles that came along the way (including the resulting lawsuits).

The Social Network

 The movie revolves around the vision, genius and brilliance of Mark Zuckerberg and has its amazing way to tell the whole ‘founding of Facebook’ story—Zuckerberg, with his trusty computer, hacked the various database of Harvard residence halls and collected the pictures and names of the female students for his website that attempts to rate the attractiveness of female undergraduate students of Harvard. This was his way to move on from his recent heartbreak from his girlfriend Erica Albright. Sooner, he decided to put up a site he wanted to call “Thefacebook” and with the help of his best friend Eduardo Saverin, he was able to push it through.

 After a number of ups and downs, the story digs deeper, giving the viewers an incisive look at a friendship gone sour (especially between Zuckerberg and Saverin) and how modern relationships evolved. It was also able to convey how social media changed each and every one’s lives, and how it influenced personal relationships. Social media helps us to build connections anywhere around the world with just one click away from our computer, but it can also easily tear us apart.

In sum, The Social Network is a must-watch movie that could be a great contender in award-giving bodies
