BREAKING: Felicity Huffman Sentenced to 14 Days Behind Bars in College Bribery Case
-- The judge just sentenced Felicity to 14 days behind bars, a $30k fine, one year of supervised release and 250 hours of community service. We are live streaming outside the courthouse.-- Felicity now has the floor ... saying,"I am deeply sorry to the students, parents, colleges and universities impacted by my actions." She continued,"I have inflicted more damage than I could've ever imagined.
Huffman also said,"I was frightened, I was stupid and I was so wrong. I am deeply ashamed of what I have done."-- Prosecutors are not pulling any punches, demanding Felicity get a month behind bars. They've also looped Huffman's daughters into their argument, saying Felicity showed little confidence in her children's academic ability and that they should be angry at their mom.
As for the $20,000 fine and community service punishment Felicity's legal team suggested? Prosecutors say it amounts to nothing considering Huffman is worth tens of millions and enjoys doing community service.
