Richard Hatch Jury Selection Begins
Hatch’s accountant cannot testify as to Hatch’s accounting abilities, nor will he be able to discuss an accountant’s ethical duties in preparing income tax returns. Another rather odd request for his testimony was also forbidden, as he will not be allowed to talk about whether tax problems can result from personal trauma. Is this a hint into Hatch’s defense strategy? Not guilty because he was traumatized and didn’t know he wasn’t paying his taxes?
