She’s Catholic. One trip to confession and she’s good to go.
Felicity Huffman to plead guilty:
This surprises me: I expected the plea deals to be fines/community service/probation–with no prison sentence.
Personally, I’m happier if they go to jail for at least a little while - what are fines to the filthy rich? Just the cost of doing business. Jail time, though, that’s an actual inconvenience. AND they have to sit elbow-to-elbow with the impoverished masses at meal time. Although that might be a little unfair to the impoverished who have to put with Their Specialness.
Caitlin Flanagan pens a masterpiece on this for The Atlantic. It is practically a film treatment
“They Had It Coming” – What the College-Admissions Scandal Reveals - The Atlantic
We are talking federal prisons here: they get a better class of criminal (white collar crime, tax evaders…) than state prisons.
Looks like Lori Loughlin might be going to the Fuller House: LORI LOUGHLIN AND HUBBY JUST INDICTED FOR ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF MONEY LAUNDERING
As breathlessly reported,
This is from TMZ, America’s most trusted source for news. 
That was a thing of beauty.
That’s one of the best essays I’ve read in years. Thank you!
Aye; well worth the time.
BTW, Caitlin Flanagan’s piece in The Atlantic seemed to avoid saying the name of the private school where she taught English. But in case you’re curious, the description matches Harvard-Westlake School. And yes, from everything I’ve heard, it’s the most prestigious private school in Southern California.
She, her husband and their lawyers must think that they have a very good chance of getting away with it. I wonder what their game plan is. Could they be trying to get off on a technicality?
I am pretty sure that that’s what it was as well. I went to a fairly rough public High School in L.A. a few years before the author was working for the private school. I knew one kid (friend of a friend) who went there and the entitlement was through the roof. He actually was a highly ranked youth tennis player so I am sure he got into a very good school on a legitimate sports scholarship.
…I just Googled him and he did play tennis for an Ivy. Was a pro tennis player for a while and is now a very highly regarded coach. Good for him.
She and her husband certainly do. They wouldn’t be the first rich, entitled people who think they’re smarter than their very expensive lawyers however.
It pains me to say it, but they get it right most of the time.
As for prison, they’ll go to a cushy minimum security facility as Martha Stewart did.
A superb piece from someone whose experiences as a college counselor at a private school are enlightening, to say the least. Thanks so much for the link!
I hate that term. There are very few technicalities. For the most part what people call a technicality is a purposeful or inadvertent constitutional violation. This early on but I doubt they even have discovery.
I get you.
I wonder what their strategy is. They already got a charge added for not taking a plea yet. Could they try to claim entrapment? Hope for a hold out juror? Is there any argument for a constitutional violation. I know that we haven’t seen all of the evidence yet but we can still speculate.
On a related subject, I wonder how many other Singers there are out there and it this is the tip of the ice burg.
Who says there is no good news anymore.
If they convict her, Lori will be first in line for the remake of “Orange is the New Black.” Though by that time it might be Orange is the New Gray.
