Felicity Huffman Gets A Light Tap!

Felicity Huffman takes a plea deal. 

If her name was La'Nashe Huffman and she paid a crime lord to help her daughters ace a college acceptance exam, she would have been ordered to serve 10 years in the iron college.

But this is American actress Felicity Huffman and she is a convicted felon. She is about to get a federal time out that many see as a miscarriage of justice.

The actress is being sentenced this week. Attorneys for the disgraced star are hoping to spare her federal time out after she plead guilty in connection to the college admissions bribery scandal.

She is hoping the judge will give her probation, community service and a fine.

In a letter to U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, Huffman wrote that she has "deep and abiding shame" for participating in a scheme that allowed $15,000 be exchanged for her daughters to get a perfect SAT score.

Huffman and William H. Macy were hoping to get their children into Ivy League colleges.

Macy wasn't indicted in the scandal.

Huffman's lawyers believe that one year probation, 250 hours of community service with an organization that works with at-risk youth in Los Angeles and a $20,000 fine is considerably fair.

However the U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling is pushing for one month of time, a year of probation and a $20,000 fine. A sentence that takes into account the fact that Huffman took the guilty plea instead of going to trial. If she took the trial, she would have expected five in the iron college.

Huffman is expected to hear her sentence in the coming days.

Huffman is one of 51 individuals caught up in this. Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were served a federal sandwich in regards to this. They paid $500,000 for their two daughters to get into elite colleges and universities. Both pleaded not guilty and the two have trial in November. The charges include conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. The two could have 40 years in federal time out if convicted.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli has pretty much went dark after the scandal. The model and celebrity agitator was entangled in this because once the feds busted down her parent's door, they realized that Olivia Jade had no interest in college anyway. The parents called a favor.

Now Olivia Jade is estranged from her parents and has apologized to her sponsors and fans.
