Lauryn Hill's sentencing
hearing saw the singer's attorney claim that she's paid off all of her
debts - more than $970,000 in state and federal taxes. No. She'll be headed to
federal prison for three months!
A Newark, N.J., judge, in
dishing out the sentence of
Lauryn Hill, said after she does the three months, three more
months of house arrest will follow. After that, she must do
nine months of supervised release.
Hill pleaded guilty in
2012 to not paying taxes on $1.8 million earned from 2005-2007. Two weeks ago,
a judge said Hill had paid only $50,000 of what she owed.
She faced up to a year in
prison on each of three counts of tax evasion, which she claimed took place
became she "withdrew from
society" amid death threats.
Hill says she recently signed a record
deal with Sony, and denied that she's a squatter. Whatever you want
to call her, she'll be an inmate for 90 days.
