| Felicity Huffman is now a convicted felon. |
The federal court may recommend her a few months in federal time out (if she even gets it). Many are crying foul. In what many see as a "relatively easy" sentencing, Huffman plead guilty to charges that she organized with crime lord Rick Singer to help her daughters get into an elite school.
The entertainer paid $15,000 to arrange a boost in one of her daughter's SAT score.
According to federal guidelines, a sentence of four to 10 months is on the how end of the service of federal time out.
Huffman is one of the 13 parents who decided to plea guilty to the criminal conspiracy of wire fraud, money laundering and defrauding the United States.
Huffman, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were charged in a massive college admission scandal that rocked American institutions. Many Americans felt that white privilege and entitlement were the reasons to why they committed these criminal acts.
They used wealth and connections to help their dopey children to get into colleges. Whereas Black, Hispanic, biracial and low-income students struggled for at least an acceptation into colleges.
Huffman in court tearfully apologized to the federal judge. She said that she completely takes responsibility for her actions. She said that her daughters were unaware of the incident.
"I am ashamed of the pain I have cause my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community. I want to apologize to them and, especially, I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly."
She betrayed her daughter, her fans and those who strive for an education.
I don't truly accept her apology. I believe she would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the whistleblower. The whistleblower was a class level genius. He admitted that he took the tests and offered pointers to some of the families.
He was caught and was told to run down who he helped. He was facing a lengthy bid as well.

Huffman's sitcom that was scheduled for release on Netflix was suspended.
Loughlin was fired out the cannon with Hallmark and Netflix. Her remaining episodes of When Calls the Heart were scrapped. The producers said that they will write her out. They will begin filming in British Columbia this summer. Her other show Garage Sale Mystery was also cancelled.
It also ends her role on the sequel of Full House. She was immediately fired out the cannon. Fuller House Executive producers John Stamos, Candace Cameron Bure, Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett couldn't comment on the situation.
The impact has affected Olive Jade Giannulli. The celebrity agitator was reportedly moving out her family home and staying with her longtime boyfriend Jackson Guthy. She was forced to suspend her social media presence when the scandal broke. She also lost major endorsements from Sephora and TRESemme. Olivia Jade is at risk of being expelled from the University of Southern California indefinitely.

Nonetheless, had it been people of color........
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a lawmaker who struggled to get into prestigious Boston University slammed the decision to give Huffman a light tap.
Our country has a “justice” system that criminalizes poverty + disproportionately targets race, yet routinely pardons large-scale crimes of wealth and privilege.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 16, 2019
Moments like these tell us it’s less a justice system, and more a class enforcement system. ⬇️ https://t.co/etlIksWsiy
I certainly agree with her on this. Because women of color often struggle to have a place in higher education. They are often ridiculed for being unwed mothers. They are rejected from the workforce because they have "ghetto sounding" names. White women (some you probably know) have often said underneath their breath that they hate that woman of color because of some perceived stereotype.
I believe we all have a place at the table. The justice system is broken. If you're a celebrity (that includes Jussie Smollett and Donald J. Trump), you should be held to the same standards.
Smollett is considered a washed up celebrity.
Trump is a washed up celebrity who became the current President of the United States. Uh, I hate say he's the president. He is an asshole, a buffoon, an elitist and a bigot. I am going to say racist as well. Because he associates with white extremists like Steve Bannon.
