Felicity Huffman's Sentence

[gaylasue]

She got more than she was asking for but it still wasn't enough.  It is so disheartening to see how the rich people get by with crimes that a poor person would spend years in jail for just because of their money and influence.  I have witnessed it first hand in my community.  A very wealthy family's son killed two people in a DUI accident (was his 2nd DUI) and go not jail time.  A boy from a poor family killed one person in a DUI accident and spent 10 years in jail.  He had no prior DUI.

14 days does not seem the fit punishment. I guess we have to let the greater powers above give her the real sentence when her day comes.

She hired an amazing lawyer.

So true my thoughts also.

I feel sorry for her kids - no where to go to school and a mother who can't be trusted

Honestly, I am not surprised that she essentially got away with breaking the law. Yes, she earned herself a 14-day prison sentence, but it was 14 DAYS. The average Joe/Jane would have received much harsher penalties.

Hmm, if all I had to do was be a celebrity in order to break the law...(sarcasm)

Te verdict is not surprising. If Felicity Huffman, and the other guilty parties,  had enough money to buy their children's way into ivy league colleges, they certainly had enough money to buy the courts held responsible for dispensing judgement on their sentences. Sadly it was the children who legitimately applied for these schools, and declined admittance due to the acceptance of children with privilege, who payed the penalties. I have no pity for the children who are now suffer the adverse publicity and shame as I feel they knew that strings were being pulled into schools that they did not qualify for. Cheaters and liars should ultimately pay the consequences. Unfortunately, Felicity Huffman's career could not have sunk much further and she received alot of publicity off of her selfish act.

Felicity Huffman isn't the only person who has done that.  There are so many others who has done the same thing.  I don't think that action will stop anyone from making it easier for their child to get into a favored College.

14 days in prison is just a slap on the wrist even if you consider that she has to pay a 30,000.00 fine and serve 250 hours of community service I don't believe it's enough.

The real tell will be to see how much Lori Loughlin ultimately gets.  Huffman pled guilty and that usually amounts to a lesser sentence regardless. LL decided to fight it and she has to be crapping her pants now knowing that she is most likely going to be found guilty and will get hit with a larger sentence.

I would like it better if punishments fit crimes better. Felicity Huffman should have been forced to put a kid though college as her punishment instead of sticking her in a jail which does nobody any good.
