Convicted of tax evasion, Richard Hatch, winner of the first "Survivor," gets 51 months in federal prison. Assuming good behavior, he would get a 15% reduction in his sentence, or about 7.5 months. So he's still looking at almost 44 months (minus time served) . . . . That's a looooonnnnggg time. In fact, by the time Hatch gets out, I'm not just going to be 40, I'm going to be in my 40s. Yikes!
I like how the report I linked discusses how Hatch, at his sentencing hearing, said he could explain everything if given a chance. . . . What, the jury trial wasn't enough of a chance?
