Apparently these 50 people were offered various plea bargains. For example, Felicity Huffman has already signed on the dotted line and has pleaded guilty for giving $15,000 in bribe money to help get her kiddo into school, by having the proctor help cheat for her when the test was completed. She may get no prison time, and up to as little as 4 months behind the shiny bars.
Lori Loughlin went into court like a movie star of course, signing autographs & smiling and blah blah blah. She pleaded not guilty and turned down any plea deals offered in her direction, I guess not taking things fully seriously. Apparently even telling friends that jail won't be on the table.
So, 2 days ago, prosecutors said "Ok, don't wanna play ball, now we add more appropriate charges - so charges of conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering were added.
And she and hubby bribed using $500,000!! The first set of charges apparently would bring anywhere from 18-24 months behind bars. And now the new charge adds in potentially another 20 years behind the metal doors!
Bad enough you broke the law, thinking you're above it - but still continuing to think like that after being busted. These prosecutors mean business and apparently want to send out a message.
