You have to be a pretty stupid fucking person to win a million dollars on national television and then not pay taxes on it. Apparently Richard Hatch is testing the old adage that ignorance isn’t a defense for breaking the law. It took a jury less than a day to convict Hatch of tax evasion. He faces up to 13 years in prison and $600,000 in fines.
The courtroom was filled with suspense as onlookers waited for the verdict to be announced. The courtroom swelled with anticipation as the jury foreman stood and began to pull the votes, one by one, out of a hollowed out coconut, each one voting Hatch guilty.
Hatch, who owns property in Canada is considered a flight risk and was led from the courtroom in handcuffs after the verdict was announced. He was also found guilty of not paying taxes on $327,000 he earned as
co-host of a Boston radio show and on another $28,000 in rent on
property he owned. The jury, did however, acquit him of seven bank, mail
and wire fraud charges.
After the trial a few members of the jury who spoke to the press said that while the evidence was pretty much all there, they felt compelled to find him guilty no matter what the evidence showed for making the nation watch his fat, naked ass on TV for three months.
"Tax evasion or no tax evasion, this sick freak needed to be taught a lesson. And that lesson is that fat people need to put some damn clothes on in public," said one visibly emotional juror.
