Will he EVER GO AWAY...?

Survivor naked guy Richard Hatch, who is currently serving four years in the clink for tax evasion, has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, hoping to appeal his conviction:

Hatch's lawyer has said his client confronted producers about cheating during taping of the show, and a producer promised his taxes would be paid if he kept quiet and went on to win the competition. CBS has said Hatch's claims have no merit.
In a brief filed with the Supreme Court Hatch's lawyer argued the judge improperly prevented Hatch from testifying about the conversation. He also argued the judge unfairly limited his cross-examination of the tax accountant who prepared Hatch's tax returns and who was a key witness for the government. 'He's extremely optimistic about his appeal,' he went on. 'He still believes the system should work.' ...
He also said Hatch was writing a book about 'his experiences with the legal system and his disappointment not just with the problems that he suffered but with the problems other people have suffered that he has met.' Hatch also was convicted of evading taxes on his earnings as co-host of a Boston radio show and from rental properties. He was acquitted of seven fraud charges related to a charity he planned to open for troubled youth.
