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.
Send your kid to hilldale or Grove City or Maine Maritime or Harvy Mudd.
Good educations at all...
14 days in the clink.
I thought it was the “cooler?”

I thought it was Colonel Clink that sent a guy to the cooler?
Lori is in way deeper trouble. Much more money involved, and much more lawbreaking.
She absolutely has nothing to lose by putting up a hard fight.
There are many fine community colleges across the nation.
Not according to the FReepers here, who ridicule them. The community college in my hometown used to have an excellent reputation. It was started in the 1960’s, and the instructors there were very stable, and had very high academic standards, but unfortunately, having all began at the same time, most retired at the same time, which necessitated an all new faculty, pretty much all at once. No idea of its current quality.
So she paid a bribe to get her kid a spot in a public university with 50k students.
Obviously stupid, but...
Non-violent crime. No criminal record.
I don’t get the raging vindictiveness.
Based on this thread you would think she is Ted Bundy.
I would have made her pay the college tuition for a needy person!
So you think she should be raped over this?
Book contract and reality series soon to follow.
These people never REALLY pay for their elitist behavior.
Overcrowding will result in 8 hours with time off for good behavior. Watch!
“Is there any doubt that the Clintons used the same method to get their bonehead daughter into a prestige school?”
No doubt in my mind.
Supposedly she was a National Merit Scholar but i find that very hard to believe.
There should be a public record of that.
I’m hoping Lori gets acquitted and gets back to hallmark where she belongs. This scandal is such crap. This has been going on since the 1800’s.
14 days?! Probably spread across the next 4 months when it’s convenient for her. That’s justice alright.
I’d never heard of this woman before this!..............
She’s not wealthy or powerful enough. If she were as rich and powerful as the conspirators who made a prolonged attempt to overthrow the 2016 Presidential Election, she would never have gone to trial, would have been praised as a great hero by the Left, and would have wound up with a cushy job somewhere possibly in the Propaganda Machine.
agreed, but I wouldn’t bet any significant amount of money that they don’t punish her severely
Orange is the new black.
Maybe it’s the hoosegow?
I guess a 14 day )jail sentence (really a 2 weekend sentence), is considered a harsh punishment for the ELITE crowd. This is a miscarriage of justice by any reasonable standard. The judge should be disbarred along with the prosecuting attorney.
The people indicted in this whole fraud were guilty of money laundering and tax evasion.
