Lori’s sentence is harsher than Felicity Huffman. She was sentenced 2 weeks prison and served 11 days. But she got her plea deal early. Lori tried to fight the charges before accepting a plea.

Didn’t bother to read the thread, huh?
We need more rich people sent away for longer then they rip off the system and the people. Besides using a place taken from someone more deserving, this whole thing (and remember, it wasn’t just the two of them) gives the idea that the system is rigged.
It would have been cheaper if she pleaded guilty at the start.
But I especially like how she is a holier-than-though sanctimonious Christian < bad word here >.

remember how often Robert Downey avoided jail time because of his celebrity? or Andy Williams wife who killed her lover and couldn’t even do 6 months in jail because judge said it would be too hard for her?

So, that is relevant how? Just because a previous famous person skated when they should have gone to jail, is a legal precedent for a current famous person to skate?

Felicity Huffman also admitted to her crime, apologized, and showed remorse for her actions. And didn’t waste the court’s time with motions to dismiss.
