Actress Felicity Huffman sentenced to 14 days in prison in college admissions scandal
Actor Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison on Friday for her involvement in the notorious elite college admissions bribery scandal.
Huffman was the first parent to be sentenced in the college admissions scam, and had husband and actor William H. Macy with her in court. Huffman was one of dozens of wealthy parents who were charged earlier this year in a nationwide college admissions scam, for allegedly paying bribes to get their kids into elite universities, including Yale; Stanford; the University of California, Los Angeles and more.
Huffman recently wrote in a letter to the judge that she was just trying to give her kid a “fair shot.”
