Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin indicted in bribery case

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they're wanting.

Well Huffman looks like she is at a spa. Getting special treatment left and right. What was the point of her being sentence to time?

Color me shocked.

I wonder how the non-famous yet rich parents are being treated in jail.

People with excess parking ticket fees have spent more time in prison.

My mom and I were having a discussion this afternoon on this subject. We think these rich and/or famous should be subject to normal people house arrest. They would be sentenced to an abode in non-glamorous parts of the USA, the abode would be less than 11,000 feet, no maids, nannies or personal chefs, and they would live with a family full of extremely active kids and/or pets. The criminal would cook, clean and babysit for the frazzled parents. 

 

In short - I sentence Lori Loughlin to a term at my sister's house in the suburbs of Cleveland!!! Case closed.

Here’s what I genuinely don’t understand. If the feds said I bribed someone with $500,000 I’d of course plead not guilty bc I don’t have any damn money so obviously it’s false. These people knew they did it so why did they continue to fight charges?! They knew they did it! Even the initial charges carry a substantial jail term. I truly don’t understand and I’m not trying to be sarcastic. They obviously have lawyers. How could you advise or allow them to continue to fight something you know you guilty of?! 

[amybrickwallace]

 

Because they have no consciences.

I would guess she ignored their advice. She seems to have lived vicariously through her daughter, and probably just can't believe she actually did anything wrong. Even now much of her or her team's focus seems to be on these stories that are being spun to the press.

That, and I do think "white entitlement" also comes into play.  They're white; they're well-off financially; and in LL's case, they're in the public eye.  Ergo, they believe no jury would ever convict them.

[dragonflies]

Yeah LL pretty much seemed surprised that she was charged with anything, as in she didn't think what she did was illegal or wrong

[Khan]

 

It's that "Well, everybody does it!" line of thinking that really exposes a person's true moral character.

All those people that said Preacher would ruin her life ...
