Sherman, best known for representing Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel in his murder trial, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for failing to pay around $420,000 in income taxes. Sherman pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay income taxes last summer.

Sherman has appeared as a commentator on MSNBC, CNBC, HLN, Fox News, and CNN. He has also been employed as a legal analyst on CBS News. According to a TVEyes search, his last TV news appearance was December 13 on HLN.

Sherman has repaid $400,000 but still owes about $1.2 million in taxes, penalties and interest from 2001-2009.

Sherman married prosecutor-turned-legal analyst Lis Wiehl in June 2006. Wiehl works for Fox News Channel and was on “The O’Reilly Factor” just last week.
