WESLEY SNIPES is pulling out the big guns to help sway the judge to go easy on him, enlisting letters from Denzel Washington & Woody Harrelson.
The two-time Oscar winner and Snipes' White Men Can't Jump costar were two of nearly three dozen pals, associates and family members who penned requests for leniency on behalf of Snipes, who is awaiting sentencing tomorrow in federal court on misdemeanor charges of willful failure to file tax returns in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Prosecutors looking to throw the book at him have requested the max—three years in prison and a $5 million fine.
But Snipes won't be paying the piper quite so much if Harrelson and Washington—not to mention TV gavel-wielders Judge Joe Brown and Judge Greg Mathis, who also proffered testaments to Snipes' good character—have anything to say about it.
