Her sentence coming later. I hope they make them spend almost all of their time behind bars and don't release them early. They deserve it. And more.

@suziebee1. Hers is expected be a little less because she was found to be not as active as he was dealing with that crook Singer, although she was found to be "fully complicit."

I did hear that because it was a plea deal, they will have to serve time in prison - it won't be house arrest. I also heard he was fined $250,000.

These people really annoy me with their arrogance. Only entitled people would think it was okay to lie and cheat to get their kid in a school, and the kid wasn't interested in doing anything there except expanding her social media account. Pathetic. At least Felicity Huffman owned up to it all and took what was handed out to her, which doesn't make her a hero, but at least shows she is willing to pay for mistakes.

Lori is supposed to get 2 months with 150 hours of community service and a fine of $150,000. She was the less involved parent of the scam.

And yet If I were to place a bet, I'd bet this was all her bright idea and he went along with it... He's taking a bullet for her, if you ask me...

Sorry but she was fully aware of the situation and should receive the same, if not more, of a punishmeent.

Very smug and proud - and so are her two daughters - the apples did not fall far from the tree.

I can't remember, was William H. Macy totally not involved in the scam? I'm just wondering why he wasn't under an interragation lamp. Do you think Felicity did this behind his back?

It seemed to me from what I read that the authorities and Prosecution believed he was more involved with it. He even went to the high school counselor wanting to know why he was trying to mess up Oliva's chances getting on the rowing team. Counselor was questioning her knowledge of rowing while she was still a high school student. The Counselor was going to testify if a trial was held. Mossimo through a big fit in person with this man.

@Lucky Charm. They didn't have enough evidence against Macy.

It will be interesting to see if they serve all of their time, or early release....I can still see Lori smiling and signing autographs after her 1st court appearance. So Smug!

This whole "school bribery" caught/trial/punishment certainly smells of "don't you know who I am" privilege.

Since the girls got into college based on their being on the rowing team, were they actually on it at the college? I don't see how they could avoid it. You can't just do that without dedication and experience.

I understand they had none, but how were they going to get out of it?

Re: Mossimo's Sentence In Admissions Scandal

Good. Maybe that couple will stop smirking so much.

I think the community service will be even worse for them than a few months in jail. Actual hard work helping others and being told what to do and being treated like regular people will be hellish for them. Serves them right.

And they're forever convicted felons. I guess they had to downsize their mansion and got kicked out of their country club because the country club does not allow felons as members. That might hurt them the worst of all.

If they learn and grow from all this, I'm willing to hand out second and third chances. Except for the unforgivable, I'm usually willing to do that. Sometimes cold hard reality chages people for the better. We'll see what happens here.

@CANDLEQUEEN That is exactly my lasting impression of her as well!

Well, exactly.

If the girls were admitted, for their rowing prowess, and they knew nothing about it, wouldn't it be quite the shock, to find yourself on the rowing team, ot at least expected, to participate and try out? I know, I would have been pretty darn startled!

Maybe it's just me, but, even, if I hadn't really been interested in college, I still would have found it, kind of soul crushing, to know my parents thought I was such a looser, they had no faith, in me, finding my way. Instead, they had to commit bribery, to get me into school!

Prisoners from prisons all over the United States are being released early because of the spread of Covid. I seriously doubt that this pair will serve all the time they received for this crime. I doubt if they pose a threat to anyone other then themselves. That seems to be the criteria for early release.

I also think they will be released early. However, violent crimes have been committed by some after release due to Covid, so I don’t think that’s the criteria for release.
