Re: Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin In Hot Water

To be fair, we just saw this with Jussie Smollett minus the white part.

Yeah, at this point it's just rich celebrities getting away with crimes. The rest of us don't get the benefits but at least we can now watch them entertain us on television every evening.

This doesn't surprise me, rich, privileged white folks overflowing with crocodile tears. It makes me sick.

Whyyzit gotta be White folk?

Also 500K at USC is probably enough to get your name on a salt shaker. Takes a lot of money to run a good football program...c'mon now.

I don't want to open up that can of worms but let's just say I have a liberal POV on these things and leave it at that.

I will say this, anyone with privilege is going to do ANYTHING they can to get out of bad situations no matter their skin color.

Then maybe you should've said that in the first place. But now you're lumping everyone with money into the same pot. So EVERY successful Hollywood actor, EVERY professional athlete, EVERY successful writer, etc. will follow this credo? You can't know this.

I doubt Lori makes out as well.

Should've pled guilty when she had the chance. Don't feel bad for her.

Re: Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin In Hot Water

I wish they'd put Felicity and Loughlin and a few of the others in the same place for a few months and turn it into a reality show. Orange Is The New Green

14 days??? that's nothing, should have been 14 months. The rich get off all the time. If I jaywalked or had some weed I'd get more than 14 days. Lori probably won't make out as well, but her richness might get 30 days.

$15,000 and pleading guilty is way different than $500,000 and taking it to trial.

You may be surprised at that outcome.

I agree, I'm thinking Lori and Mossimo get hammered

It's looking pretty bleak. I'd say the line on 30 days is about 1,000,000-1.

I'm sort of on the fence on this. They pretty clearly did wrong and should be punished, and on the one hand, who doesn't want to see Hollywood jerk-offs get some comeuppance once in a while (although I could think of others I'd rather see go down than Aunt Becky)? I was definitely finding the whole concept of them going to jail for this amusing, if I'm being honest.

However, as this has gone on, it does seem like federal prosecutors are trying to punish Loughlin and others for exercising their right to a trial. That part doesn't strike me as so funny. By piling on charges and potentially adding years to their sentencing, the massive disparity in charges between those who plead out and those who will exercise their 6th amendment rights seems like a problem to me.

Plea deals don't seem to be about mercy these days; it increasingly seems like they are about intimidating defendants into giving up the right to a trial.

I'm not anti-Hollywood but she will get her comeuppance-but how years should she get? Five? Six? Ten? DELETED
