A federal jury in Florida has acquitted actor Wesley Snipes on two felony charges of fraud and conspiracy.  He was also acquitted on the counts for failing to file a tax return for the years 2002-2004 but was convicted on three misdemeanor counts of failing to file a tax return for the years 1999-2001.  He was acuitted for the years 2002-2004 because he was under criminal investigation and filing a return would have required him to waive his right not to be a witness against himself.

Mr. Snipes' co-defendants Eddie Kahn and Douglas Rosile were convicted on two felony counts of fraud and conspiracy.
