Jailing someone because they're famous is just as bad as not jailing someone because they're famous.
Send a message, my arse. Snipes has the right to be tried as a man, not a fucking advertising billboard.

I've seen this one - he escapes by cutting of some guys hand and using it on the finger print scanner, but Stallone gets him in the end.

Doesn't really matter, all he has to do is say "teddybear" and escape.

Umm, but tried as a man who (if the report on the radio was correct) has defrauded 5 million pounds. I'm willing to bet that anyone non-famous would attract at least that sentence, to be honest.
It's refreshing when the offender doesn't get off scot free just because they've been in a movie or a pop song or something.

There's no "at least that", it's the maximum possible sentance, which was asked for because of the reasons given.

That said he deserves it, but it's debatable he would have got it having not been famous.

Worth pointing out though, that had he not been famous he wouldn't have defrauded them out of several million quid most likely.
