NEW: Federal prosecutors call for Felicity Huffman to spend a month in jail and pay a $20,000 fine for her role in college admissions scandal.

They recommended that, after spending a month in jail, she should also have a year of supervised release.

They added that Huffman's"efforts weren't driven by need or desperation, but by a sense of entitlement, or at least moral cluelessness, facilitated by wealth and insularity," they said. In response, Huffman's attorneys requested the judge sentence her to a one-year term of probation and 250 hours of community service. She would also pay the $20,000 fine called for in her guilty plea.

"Ms. Huffman is deeply remorseful for her crime. She recognizes that she deserves to be punished for what she did," her attorneys wrote.

😡😡😡😡😡😡

Wow.. the average person would have been locked up for a ridiculous amount of time and the student would have gotten thrown out of school or degree revoked ... Instead $20,000 and a month probably in a 'private spa' type of prison.. that's the treatment for the elite

Go for her, she can study her next script in peace

Ridiculous. How is this any different from people who give a school thousands of dollars to get their child into a particular school. Cheating but just in a different form

TJLeprechaun485 1 month? There are people spending more time for lesser offenses. PrisonReform

Seriously? Who cares? Its all lip service anyway, make her start a foundation for underprivileged kids, make their kids take a real admission test and be done with it. So stupid.

If Felecity gets 1 month in jail after pleading guilty, then Lori Loughlin's sentence should be much more after not taking a plea deal - I hope.

She will write a book about her time in prison. 🤦‍♂️

NBC News don’t even stand up for a fellow lefty... goes to show you folks have no loyalty. This dumb b has been fighting for your cause of lies and distortions forever.

Yet trump and his kids are all scot free. Huh.

Hollywood demonstrates its entitled to WHITE PRIVILEGE!!!!

I think she should find out who her child bumped and pay for their college.

Should be more jail time.

If she's getting this much time, this can only mean one thing: Aunt Becky's going to the big house. collegeadmissionsscandal

That's IT

What a load of crap

Of course, most ordinary people would receive far greater punishment if they had been able to pull off such crimes. Most ordinary people have a far more difficult time trying to obtain an “elite” education:

Lock her the hell up and it should be longer than a month in jail

Consequences, they're everywhere.

Meanwhile, there are still people in jail for having a dime bag of weed back in 1999.

Where’s Felicity’s Husband & Children to support her? Hollywood elite prosecution and sentencing is far less than the general public would get for bribery and cheating. Lori Loughlins ,Arrogance not making a plea Deal will Come back to bite her in the Ass.

That’s it?

Rich white people get all the luck.

You better take that deal and call it a day. Lol

This is ridiculous how do you think trump got into Penn and Busch got Harvard.

Only a month That’ll show her!!! 20k that’s nothing either.

A slap on the wrist.

that is a light sentence.. easy to take.... but lori who is fighting every step of the way...still... it may be worse for her.. i would go the felicity route.plead guilty do the time and learn from it.

Please also Prosecute those folks whom accepted the Bribes !!!!

Heh, heh, heh, heh. 'A month in jail and pay a $20,000 fine.' Why bother.

that's it?

This is so much bull . so it's ok to base admission on race and gender to universities and not grades is any different.

Talk about a slap on the wrist. If this was an average Joe....that sentence would have been much stiffer.

And give the college place to someone more deserving. With a scholarship paid for by Huffman.

YangGang

A month? Is this a federal parking ticket?

Just curious... Where does the 'fine' money go?

woman pays for child to go to college... shocking

She is in season 6 of Orange is the New Black on Netflix

What a f'in joke...

YOU ARE NOTTTTTTTT ABOVE THE DAMN LAW!!!! LOCKEMUP
