Muhammad Ali could take the witness stand for Wesley Snipes in his tax-evasion case?

You're kidding right? I thought the dude couldn't hardly speak anymore?

Fellow action star Sylvester Stallone, Oscar-nominated director Spike Lee and retired boxer and civil-rights icon Muhammad Ali are among those who could take the witness stand for Snipes, 45, who is charged with conspiring to defraud the IRS and seven other felonies.

2. Weird. What would he have to testify about?

I'm doubtful as to how much Muhammad Ali had an impact on Wesley Snipes's taxable income.

character witness, I assume

of course, since mr. Snipes apparently ddn't pay taxes for a decade ( in which he actually worked, do not recently) I don't see the point.
