[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]defending bribing their kids way into college because it isn't "against the law"?

This may come as a big surprise to you, but the answer is [u]no[/u].  Bribing your kid's way into college is not against the law. (And in fact she is not even being charged with that).[/quote]

DP.  But in the course of bribing her kids' way into college, [b]she took actions that ARE crimes [/b]and those are the crimes with which she is being charged. [/quote]

So you're the judge and jury, eh?  We'll see.[/quote]

Fair point.  I'll rephrase: she has been charged with certain crimes based upon her alleged conduct during the course of bribing her kids' way into college, and she is innocent until proven guilty.  The point being that she's being charged with crimes based on her conduct even though her motive - getting her kids into college - isn't a crime in itself.

[b]Some people on this thread seem to think that there's absolutely nothing wrong with what they did because all they wanted to do was get their kids into college[/b]. By that token, would it be ok to murder someone in order to get your kid into college? Of course not. The ends don't justify the means, even if we're "only" talking about white collar crimes.[/quote]

It's definitely wrong what she did, but is it illegal?  That's the question I was addressing.  Prosecutors tend to overcharge and sometimes that is their undoing.[/quote]
