Actress Felicity Huffman on Friday was sentenced after she pleaded guilty in a college admissions fraud scandal — and she actually got jail time, 14 days in the clink.
The “Desperate Housewives” appeared in Boston’s federal court, where she reportedly made yet another tearful apology for her actions.“I am deeply ashamed of what I have done. I have inflicted more damage than I could ever imagine,” she said before sentencing.
While prosecutors had recommended the 56-year-old actress serve one month in prison, the judge cut that in half. Prosecutors also called for a $20,000 fine — the judge upped that to $30,000. The judge also gave Huffman 250 hours of community service and a year of supervised release.
Sounds like a friend of mine after a bender in New Orleans.
What is the compensation for the rightful student that was replaced?
Lori is going to wish she took the same route as Felicity.
Yes, the TV Star/College Admissions Scandal did not register very high on my outrage-o-meter.
You probably had a hangover, that’s why it seemed so long.
10k more in fine is nothing.
Should have gotten a month in jail.
White Privilege.
Daughter wants to be an actress and is not so interested in college at all.
Just graduated from LA HS for the Arts.
You must lead an upright life.
I got friends in the past who thought 14 days was a vacation from their wife and others that were lucky if that’s all the time it took to get out of JAIL before their trial IF they were let out of jail before trial.
Yeah boy, she is really gonna lose a whole 14 days and 20k.
Wow.
That’s justice
Only Colonel Klink can throw you in the cooler.
Just what I was thinking, $6 billion in Haitian aid money is still missing from the Clinton foundation, criminals who attepted a coup against the POTUS are still running around free as a bird and we are one election away from living in a communist hellhole, but hey, rich people bribing colleges will now end.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA BWA HA HA HA!
Is there any doubt that the Clintons used the same method to get their bonehead daughter into a prestige school?
Judge upped it to 30k.
LOL! I've never been on the wrong side of the bars - and neither has Huffman, I'll bet.
Any jail for this act is idiotic.
I went on 10 college tours this year with one of my kids. The difference between tours this year and in years past, is that many schools did not require ACT or SAT scores at all. Which makes me think that “diversity kids”, rich kids and athletes are no longer able to cheat. So instead, they just get rid of the tests that many kids could not pass.
The schools who do not require test scores will report only the scores that kids report to them. So a school will report test scores as a freshman average. When really its just the average of freshman who took the test. And that will be the kids who can do well on the test excluding the kids who can’t.
Bet she does 2 days and then off for good behavior.

"Guilty Of Defying Prosecutors" - just the kind of "crime" the Founding Fathers envisioned...
What was the crime she was convicted of anyway? And how long are the people she bribed serving?
