Felicity Huffman was sentenced Friday to 14 days in prison and a $30,000 fine for her role in a sprawling college admissions scandal involving rich and famous families who funneled cash to fixers in order to get their kids into the nation's most prestigious colleges and universities.
In addition, the actress will serve one year of probation and perform 250 hours of community service.
"I think this is the right sentence here," U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani told Huffman. "You can move forward and rebuild your life after this. Without this sentence, I think the community around you would ask why you got away with this."

Two sets of rules.
ReplyDeleteWow.... only the rich and famous can get away with nothing more than a little slap on the wrist for committing a crime. $30,000 is less than she spends on a weekend getaway. Who does this judge think he's fooling? She "did" get away with it. Just 15 days and she can go back to her rich luxurious lifestyle, the only thing being lost was the inconvenience of her court time and some bad publicity.
ReplyDeleteShe will do 2 hours and they will cut her loose.
ReplyDeleteMaybe her College kid can visit her in jail
ReplyDeleteremember, no Debbies allowed to be passed during visiting hours
Northwest Woodsman: They really came down hard on her didn’t they? I’m sure future fraudsters will be deterred by such a heavy penalty.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the father?
ReplyDeleteIsn't he part of this too?
She will get a multi million dollar tv show off this. Probably already filming. I would have gotten 10 years.
ReplyDeleteFirst time offender, not surprised at the light sentence.
