PROVIDENCE - “Survivor” winner Richard Hatch has asked a judge to release him from a four-year prison sentence for evading taxes on the $1 million prize he won on the inaugural season of the reality TV show.
Hatch filed the request Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Providence. A judge has not yet ruled on the matter.
Hatch, who is serving as his own lawyer, is now being held in a federal prison in West Virginia.
In court filings, Hatch said he is innocent, was represented by an ineffective lawyer and that a judge improperly calculated his sentence.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused in October to consider Hatch’s case.
