A Florida jury has reached a verdict in the tax fraud trial of actor Wesley Snipes.
We're told it will be read this afternoon.
Snipes and two co-defendants are currently on trial for allegedly failing to file his 2000 federal taxes, for demanding $11 million in tax refunds on taxes he'd already paid, and bouncing checks to the U.S. Treasury.
