'She knew it was wrong' Federal prosecutors argue for prison time for Felicity Huffman in the cheating scam.
In court documents, federal prosecutors demanded that Oscar-nominated actress Felicity Huffman serve prison time for her role in the "Varsity Blues" college admissions cheating scandal.
"Huffman's conduct was deliberate and manifestly criminal: it was wrong, she knew it was wrong, and she actively participated in manipulating her daughter’s guidance counselor, the testing services and the schools to which her daughter applied," prosecutors wrote. In their memo Friday, prosecutors also attacked Huffman's decision to cheat given her"movie star" wealth and status.
"Her efforts weren't driven by need or desperation, but by a sense of entitlement, or at least moral cluelessness, facilitated by wealth and insularity," prosecutors said.
