Of course while Wesley is jaunting all over the far east and europe he will be making money...by the time his appeal rns out he will have managed to get his sentence reduced to a year or so.....

He's a celeb, this is obvious, but the idiots that follow TMZ.com like a religion will show sympathy for him. If it was one of us, we'd probably have 10 years if not more. I say that trend needs to be reversed.

Celebrities should be held to a much higher standard. If a standard first offense DUI is 10 days in jail, I say they should have 1 month. If they evade taxes and standard punishment is 3 years, they should have 9. Celebs are supposed to be role models and thus should be held to a much higher standard than the rest of us.
