Actor Wesley Snipes has been granted bail whilst he appeals against his tax evasion conviction.
The 45-year-old star was given a three year prison sentence last month after failing to file income tax records from 1999 to 2001, but will now be at liberty whilst he mounts his appeal.
Snipes lawyers told US District Judge William Terrell Hodges their client was "actively engaged in resolving his liabilities with the Internal Revenue Service civilly".
However, whilst the Judge granted bail he also wrote he was “dubious” over Snipes’ appeal arguments, reports the BBC.
