Is Richard Hatch in jail, or did he somehow get his way out of it?

A wise and experienced judge weighs both justice and circumstances.  The purposes of imprisonment in this case would be to ensure the crime is not committed again (done, by virtue of his being too ill to drive ever again) and to ensure that he is made to pay a price for what he did (done, by probation).\n\nIf an 89-year-old man went outside with a shotgun and purposely murdered people, that would be different and I believe handled differently by a judge.  This was, for the most part, an accident.  I agree that there is no reason to spend taxpayer money to imprison a very ill man when he will surely never drive again and is experiencing punishment that probably goes beyond what prison could inflict upon him anyway.

He was found guilty for conspiracy to commit murder. He's in jail I believe for at least 3 years. Safe to say his hockey days are over.

if there is grounds for appeal then you can probably find a law firm that will take his case pro bono.\n\nif he's guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt but you feel he is reformed you can appeal to the governor for clemency.  but from what i hear there are an awful lot of non-violent offenders serving very long prison sentences in the united states.  and that is a problem for your justice system and taxpayers to ask how long they will support the building of more corporate prisons and the passing of laws to create more prisons.

It was apparently found to be an accident.\n\nHe's most likely going to punish himself daily more than any jail could.  He probably knew and was buddies with the deceased....

maybe you know something that they committed that ended their career and into jail?

Huh?\n\nIt sounds like a joke.  He was caught in California, Arizona AND New Mexico?\n\nI'm not even sure I believe it.

You can read about it here, though the exact method he used to do himself in is not revealed because police declined to reveal the details: \nhttp://www.bsac.org/news/mayol291201.htm

Are you actually in jail yourself? \n\nIf so, it's just dawned on me that jail-birds are actually answering questions.  Scarey!!

Most of the grounds are gone.\nHowever he can still appeal based on, for example, duress in obtaining the plea bargain.

Everything I can find just says he was supposed to get sentenced already.  I can't find anything that says he did.

He wasn't either. Convicted felons aren't allowed to vote. He was just a leader on a mission. \n.

Only George knows for sure, but I suspect that he wasn't raised right.  He's never once taken responsibility for the things he's done.  In his mind, everyone else was doing it, so that makes it OK.  Trouble is, he got caught, and most likely he was turned in by his political buddies.  Hard to believe somebody as old as he is doesn't know any better.  I thought the older generations were supposed to have better morals.  He disgraced himself, his family and friends, and everyone in the state of Illinois.

No, the fact he's in jail is a bad thing.

Your best bet is to contact the facility where he is incarcerated, ask to speak to the Jail Booking Clerk.
