  • HUFFMAN SENTENCED TO JAIL TIME

  • FOR HER PART BUYING HER

  • COLLEGES.

  • THEY HAVE MORE FROM BOSTON.

  • MOLLY.

  • >> HI, MIKE.

  • NOW SENTENCED TO TWO WEEKS BY A

  • JUDGE IN BOSTON.

  • AT ONE OF MOST RECOGNIZABLE

  • FACES IN THE COLLEGE ADMISSION

  • SCANDAL BECAME THE FIRST PARENT

  • TO FACE JUSTICE IN THE CASE.

  • IN COURT, SHE SOBBED AND

  • APOLOGIZED TO THE STUDENTS,

  • PARENTS, AND COLLEGES IMPACTED.

  • IF SHE DID NOT SPEAK TO THE

  • THRONG OF MEDIA WAITING OUTSIDE

  • BUT DID RELEASE A STATEMENT

  • PROMISING, "I WILL TRY TO LIVE A

  • HONEST AND MORE OPEN LIFE."

  • SHE PLED GUILTY TO WINK AT

  • SPERRY ON FRAUD ACCOUNTS IN

  • MAINE.

  • ADMITTING SHE PAID A $15,000 TO

  • A PHONY SCHEME OF THE

  • MASTERMIND.

  • WHO CORRECTED HER DAUGHTER'S

  • S.A.T. EXAM.

  • PROSECUTORS CALLED FOR ONE MONTH

  • IN PRISON AND SHOWED LITTLE

  • SYMPATHY IN COURT OR HER CLAIMS

  • OF PARENTING CHALLENGES.

  • SAYING, MOST PARENTS HAVE A

  • MORAL COMPASS DO NOT STEP UP THE

  • LINE IN THE DEFENDED DEAD END.

  • HUFFMAN'S LAWYERS ARGUED MORE

  • PROBATION AND THE ULTIMATELY

  • DETERMINED PRISON TIME WAS

  • WARRANTED.

  • SAYING IN ESSENCE, SHE KNEW WHAT

  • WHEN SHE WAS DOING WAS WRONG AND

  • THAT WAS A FRAUD.

  • IT WAS NOT AN IMPULSIVE ACT OF

  • TRYING TO BE A GOOD MOTHER DOES

  • NOT ASK USELESS."

  • ALSO ENTERED GUILTY PLEAS,

  • IS NOW FACING UP TO 40 YEARS IN

  • PRISON.

  • THEY ARE HERE TO WEIGH IN,

  • ROBERT PATILLO AND DEFENSE

  • ATTORNEY KATIE CHERKASKY.

  • FELICITY HUFFMAN GETS 14 DAYS IN

  • PRISON, A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,

  • BUT IT STILL PRISON.

  • WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?

  • WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?

  • >> SURE, QUITE WRINKLY, IT

  • DOESN'T MATTER IF SHE GOT A DAY

  • IN JAIL OR A YEAR.

  • BECAUSE HER REPUTATION IS

  • COMPLETELY RUINED FOR EVERMORE

  • AND IT'LL APPLY FOR TWO LORI

  • LOUGHMAN AS WELL.

  • AS FAR AS WHAT SENTENCE WILL

  • LOOK LIKE, PEOPLE ARE PRETTY

  • MUCH JUMPING THE GUN BECAUSE SHE

  • MAY NOT BE CONVICTED AND THERE

  • ARE GOOD REASONS FOR THAT UNDER

  • THE PRECOURT CASE LAWS.

  • GETTING INTO FOR A LONG TIME.

  • ASSUMING THAT SHE IS FOUND

  • GUILTY, I DO NOT THINK THAT HER

  • CASE IS NECESSARILY VERY

  • COMPARABLE.

  • THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENCES

  • BETWEEN FACTS, THERE'S A

  • DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MONEY

  • EXCHANGE AND QUITE WRINKLY

  • , FRANKLY, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S

  • LORI LOUGHMAN CAN POINT TO.

  • >> Mike: 'S AUNT BECKY HER

  • CHARACTER FACING SERIOUS PRISON

  • TIME?

  • >> IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITY

  • HUFFMAN CASE, MOST PEOPLE THINKS

  • IT'S A SLAP ON THE WRIST,

  • SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS IN

  • PRISON, NOT FOR BRIBING BUT FOR

  • SIMPLY ROLLING HER CHILD IN THE

  • WRONG SCHOOL DISTRICT.

  • WHO VOTED WHEN SHE DATED DON

  • MONK DID NOT KNOW SHE WAS

  • ALLOWED TO VOTE IN TEXAS WHO WAS

  • ALSO SENTENCED FIVE YEARS.

  • THE IDEA 14 14 DAYS IN PRISON

  • THE IDEA 14 14 DAYS IN PRISOW

  • THE IDEA 14 14 DAYS IN PRISOI

  • THE IDEA 14 14 DAYS IN PRISOH

  • WILL MOSTLY BE LIKE CLUB FED,

  • SHE'S NOT SERVING A HARD 14

  • DAYS, IT'S TURNING TO LORI

  • LOUGHLIN'S CASE, I DO THINK

  • SHE'S GOING TO USE AUNT BECKY AS

  • BEING PART OF HER DEFENSE.

  • BEING THE CHARACTER, BEING A

  • LOVING FAMILY WOMAN AS OPPOSED

  • TO A COLD FACTS WHICH SHE SPENT

  • HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO BRIBE

  • HER CHILDREN INTO SCHOOL.

  • WE HAVE TO STOP GIVING THESE

  • CRIMINALS SO MUCH COVER.

  • STOP LETTING THEM CRY IN FRONT

  • OF THE COURT IN ORDER TO GET

  • SOMEBODY.

  • TREAT THEM AS A CRITICAL C

  • TREAT THEM AS A CRITICAL I

  • TREAT THEM AS A CRITICAL A

  • TREAT THEM AS A CRITICAL L

  • MASTERMINDS.

  • >> Mike: THE JUDGE AND

  • FELICITY HUFFMAN'S CASE SAID "I

  • THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT SENTENCE

  • HERE.

  • IF YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD AND

  • REBUILD YOUR LIFE AFTER THIS.

  • WITHOUT THE SENTENCE, I THINK

  • THE COMMUNITY AROUND YOU WOULD

  • ASK WHY YOU GOT AWAY WITH THIS.

  • DO YOU AGREE, KATIE?

  • "I THINK THE SENTENCE WAS PRETTY

  • MUCH WHAT WE EXPECTED.

  • PROSECUTED ONLY LOOKING FOR ONE

  • MONTH IN JAIL, SHE PLED GUILTY

  • AND GAVE HER A GREAT BENEFIT TO

  • BEGIN WITH.

  • THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE THAT SHE

  • WAS FACING, IT WASN'T THAT GREAT

  • FOR WHAT SHE DID.

  • I THINK IT WAS REASONABLE, OF

  • COURSE, PEOPLE WANT TO SEE A

  • POUND OF FLESH FOR WHAT YOU DO,

  • IT'S VERY ENTITLED AND

  • DISHONEST.

  • THAT IS NOT OUTSIDE THE NORM.

  • IT'S VERY REASONABLE.

  • >> Mike: LET ME PLAY FOR YOU,

  • WHAT MEGHAN McCAIN SAID TODAY

  • ABOUT THIS CASE.

  • I'LL ASK YOU TO RESPOND.

  • >> I HAVE A LOT OF THEORIES

  • ABOUT HER BECOMING A MOTHER.

  • I DON'T THINK THAT MAKES YOU

  • BRIBE SOMEONE TO BREAK THE LAW.

  • I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGICAL

  • CONNECTION, THE POSTER CHILDREN

  • OF WHAT EVERYONE HATES ABOUT

  • WHITE PRIVILEGE AND SHE DESERVES

  • TO GO TO JAIL.

  • WE WANT YOUR REACTION?

  • >> I THINK SHE'S COMPLETELY

  • CORRECT ON THAT.

  • WHEN MOST PEOPLE LOOK -- ECHOES

  • TO THIS IDEA THIS IS THE

  • AMERICAN, THIS IDEA THEY CAN GO

  • TO GO WORK HARD,

  • YOUR NOSE CLEAN.

  • IT'S HAVING RICH PARENTS WHO CAN

  • BUY YOUR WAY INTO COLLEGE TO BUY

  • YOUR WAY INTO THE INTEGER, VALUE

  • BY

  • YOUR WAY INTO THE JOB YOU NEED.

  • IT SHOULD BE THE ABSOLUTE

  • MINIMUM, IF NOT LONGER, BECAUSE

  • IT CUTS AT THE VERY SOUL OF THE

  • HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND

  • THE CONCEPT THAT SERVING PEOPLE

  • GET TREATED DIFFERENTLY.
