What he is getting so much time for is perjury (lying under oath). He had a chance to make a deal and avoid much jail time but instead chose to take it to court and lie to the judge and to the jury. If you don't punish a mistake with a severe enough punishment that it really hurts the person then they will feel that what they did was ok and worth the cost. The cost has to be significant so they won't do it again. |

I think our gov. stinks, they do what ever they want to anyone they want when ever they want, things are so corrupt in every dept. of gov. that we're at the point of no return. Taxing income/game/gambling... winnings is an outrage! I'm all for eliminating the IRS, and creating a fair flat tax for US citizens. |

Well, if you're talking about Richard Hatch, he didn't make a stupid mistake. He is a smart business man and Survivor made him expressly aware that he was responsible for taxes on the winnings. Do I think the time fits the crime? Maybe not. Do I think we pay too much in taxes? Absolutely yes. Would I have not paid taxes if I had won? Hell no. I for one and scared of the IRS and the federal government. He put himself in this position. |

I think that the justice system nowadays is just a big joke & the people who have studied it & who make these decisions should go back to University & learn something else, like pottery. I say pottery because it is the only thing that they could probably get right. |

It seems unfair b/c you think of prison as being a place for murderers, drug dealers, pedophiles, etc.. But the law is the law & tax evasion is breaking the law. |
