Lori Loughlin guilty plea

[applecruncher]

Under the terms of the deal, which is still pending the judge’s approval, Loughlin agreed to serve two months in prison (though the coronavirus pandemic could affect that time), pay a $150,000 fine and do 100 hours of community service, while Giannulli agreed to serve five months, pay $250,000 and do 250 hours of community service.
Both could also spend two years on supervised release.

According to the article, they "deeply regret" what they did. IMHO the only thing they probably deeply regret is getting caught at it.

Yes, since for over a year she's insisted she did nothing wrong.
Her "Full House" buddies have stood by her. Sheesh.

My sentiment exactly.

They already reported that, due to the Coronavirus, they'll be sentenced to their home. ROFLOL. Must be a very pleasant punishment

It's a preferential treatment spanking as far as I'm concerned, one extended to only those with deep pockets.

We'll start seeing justice served honestly, when they start stripping unscrupulous judges of their licenses and locking them up, too.

She should of plead guilty when Felicity Huffman did.
When I saw her signing autographs before and after entering the courthouse,it was obvious to me she didn't think what she did was a 'big deal'.One more 'has been' actress I hope we never hear from again

 

[StarSong]

I'm hoping the judge doesn't agree to the plea deal.

She's not allowed to profit (book, movie) from her crime.

Her smile says it all. Who wouldn't laugh at our pathetic justice system?

Sentences were handed down Friday to Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli for their roles in the college admissions scandal — and while addressing the court, the Full House actress TV watchers know as Aunt Becky admitted she made an “awful decision.”

The actress faced Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton — via teleconference — to receive her sentence for her involvement in the widespread scam; it saw her and husband plead guilty to paying $500,000 to college admissions fixer William “Rick” Singer to get their YouTube star daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli, into the University of Southern California as fake crew recruits.

Gorton agreed to the sentence the prosecutors recommended for Loughlin: five months in prison, a $250,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and two years of supervised release. Loughlin had faced a total of 50 years before she made the deal.

Loughlin has 90 days to report to prisons, by Nov. 19. Her attorney said they hope she’s assigned to Victorville prison, a medium-security facility, in Victorville, Calif....read on....

I was surprised prosecutor didn't ask for more, like maybe 6 months for Lori and a year for husband. I think judge would have gone along with it.

Well, at least they will actually go to prison.

That would be this one: https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/vvm/

...about 15 miles from here. This is a popular area for prisons, population density is low(for Southern Calif), land is cheap, local public leaders are hungry for business that generates jobs and tax revenue.

I like what judge said - something to the effect that they think they can do whatever they please because they have a lot of money.

Why should she get less time than he? Let's see how long the actually stay in prison.

The details of the case explain it.
As far as how long they stay in prison, that remains to be seen.

 

[moviequeen1]

she'll probably stay in prison for as long as Felicity Huffman did which I believe was a week

Felicity served 11 days of a 14 day sentence. I tend to think Lori will stay in prison for at least a month.

This story was the lead story on NBC Nightly News yesterday. While CBS ran the California wildfires story. Which is more vital to us?
The woman gets two months in jail for a crime that means next to nothing to everyone. Who gives a rat's behind?

 

[StarSong]

The bigger question is whether "cancel culture" will push members of this family from B-List celebrity to persona non grata status.

That would be an appropriate sentence for their combined arrogance. This wasn't a single moment of an error in judgment; it was a drawn-out, calculated scam that involved every member of the family.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

That sentence is a joke. Two months...oh please! @fmdog44 Know who gives a rat's a*s? The students who may have been denied entry to the school because these entitled, arrogant parents got their children in instead. And the students who are already enrolled who had to work hard for every grade and position on the sports team that they got.

Here's hoping so.
