Survivor winner seeks release from US prison

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - March 26, 2009

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.

Prosecutors say they'll respond to Hatch's motion in the coming weeks.

The U.S. Supreme Court refused in October to consider Hatch's case.
