6 months in week-end jail.
Big fine
5 years probation
I’m wondering if the scammers approached her and told her they could get the girls into college through a “loophole” in the athletic scholarship program. It all depends on who initiated the whole conversation about this athletic scholarship.
I don’t think she paid for cheating on the tests. (To the best of my knowledge.)
I can see a scammer knowing she & her husband have money, approaching her and convincing her this was perfectly legal (maybe even supported by a letter from any attorney) but it would cost a lot. just a thought. This is going to get interesting.
Oh, and if she ends up with a not-guilty determination, look out Hallmark - they gave her the boot prematurely. I always wondered why they were so quick to dump her and write her out of everything, I bet she has a lawsuit coming. We are innocent until proven guilty still, aren’t we? Oh wait ...
That was her possible sentence had she pled guilty from the start, However, thanks to following poor counsel, herself or from a friend, the state is going to make an example of her in order to get quick guilty pleas from others.
She could be looking at near the high-end of her lawful penalty.
TLS, I'll take that bet. She's going to do significant time. I say she gets 5 years or more. She didn't take the plea deal, and then they added charges. Heck, the plea takes are going to get 6 months or more in jail time.
