Gov't recommends jail for "Survivor" champ
PROVIDENCE, RI
Hatch served more than three years in prison for failing to pay
taxes on the $1 million prize he won on the debut season of the CBS
reality TV show.
A judge this month said Hatch violated the terms of his release
by failing to file amended tax returns for the years 2000 and 2001.
Prosecutors said in court papers Monday that Hatch should return
to jail. He faces a maximum of two years behind bars, or the
remainder of his supervised-release term.
Hatch has said he didn't refile his taxes because he has an
appeal pending with the U.S. Tax Court. His lawyer has a chance to
submit her own recommendation.
