I liked Huffman a darned sight more than the other one. At least she plead guilty if memory serves, so she should get the lighter sentence because she isn’t trying to bombard the system with expensive lawyers to try to get bad precedents set for other lawbreakers to use in the future. The others plead innocent. The problem will be if they walk and she goes to jail.
If I was on a jury for a criminal case like this, I think I might refuse to convict on principle. I would never go to the lengths that these people did to get their kids into college, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what makes any of this a CRIME. Maybe I’d side with the colleges in a CIVIL lawsuit, but even then I don’t see how the colleges were even “victims” in any sense here.
Thank you for making that point. I was all set to pile on in some way. Guess I’ll go to work instead. :)
