www.zerohedge.com Following reports that she might avoid jail time, actress Felicity Huffman has been sentenced to 14 days in prison at a federal court in Boston on Friday.
Huffman also received a $30,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and one year supervised release following her brief prison stint.
Prosecutors had recommended that Huffman serve a month in prison. They argued that “imprisonment is needed because this was a considered, deliberate and purposeful act.”
But before handing down the sentence, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said she wasn’t swayed by the prosecutions claims that Huffman and her fellow defendants’ actions undermined the whole college admissions system. Still, just before announcing the sentencing, Talwani said Huffman knew what she did was wrong, saying, “She knew it was a fraud it was not an impulsive act.”
