Survivor Trial to the Jury
Richard Hatch's fate now lies with a jury in Providence, RI.
Hatch, the former Survivor winner is either a greedy man who didn't want to pay the taxes he owed or he did the best he could to understand the tax code.
Unfortunately for Hatch, his accountants did tell him about the taxes he owed, according to testimony during his trial. One even made him sign a statement that he wouldn't file a return that didn't include his Survivor winnings. He promptly filed that return.
Hatch faces up to 73 years in prison and millions in fines if convicted. Jury deliberations resume Wednesday morning.
