Wonder if Lori will be prancing up the courthouse and signing autographs after this debacle?

"Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli reportedly thought prosecutors in her college admissions cheating case were bluffing when they declined a plea deal that called for 2.5 years in prison. ... They are now facing 20 years behind bars."

"She has been in complete denial and thought maybe she could skate by. She refused to accept any jail time and thought the DA was bluffing. She was adamant she wouldn't do any jail time," a source told the outlet. "Lori is finally realizing just how serious this is. She is seeing the light that she will do jail time and is freaking out."

One year max for LL? The recommended sentence for Felicity Huffman is 4-10 months. No way is LL getting 12 months.

From what I read LL could get more time because she paid for both daughters, 2 counts and more money total.

She could also get more time because they didn't take the first plea deal offered; hence the additional charges.

She'll get out fast for good behavior, as do other rich people who commit manslaughter with DWI, drug offenses etc.

ITA.
I actually think she can come out ahead. I think she can tap into all of the fears and insecurities all parents have for their kids.
It could play very well on the day time circuit.
I bet we see her take a permanent seat on the view or something similar in the next year and half.

The fact that this could happen is just one of so many reasons that our society is ridiculous.

All of these people are horrible. Why anyone would want to listen to them or watch them in their awful Hallmark Channel movies or awful sitcoms is beyond me.

I would love to know how Olivia Jade and sister were passing their classes once they were admitted. Olivia Jade apparently wasn't all that fond of even going to class....

Now we know how they got in but it would be fun to know how they stayed in. Think they're going to spill?

I think colleges let you stay in for awhile even if you're doing poorly when the checks keep coming in. Also "Cs get degrees" and all that. I think with a non-challenging courseload you could skate by doing the bare minimum or retaking classes you fail for a couple of years...

She is friends with the Dean. She was on his yacht when the scandal broke.

No, the yacht belonged to the billionaire head of the board of trustees, not the dean ("Chair of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee")

She wouldn't have had 20 years if she'd agree to actually owning up to what she did. The emails and recorded calls are clear. As is her daughter's admission to a university she couldn't get in on her own and the money Loughlin wired to the company that got her there.

Notice Huffman isn't facing 20 years, because she wasn't charged with money laundering.

OJ said she wanted to talk to her professors, as she'd be missing classes b/c of her "side job." Missing one college class is annoying as hell. I can't imagine missing a week or two.

So this whole college thing was a joke from the start - at least for OJ. I don't know anything about her sister.

USC may not mean anything to you, but it's a really big deal on the west coast.

Maybe they were enrolling for a degree in physical therapy?

USC isn't that rigorous - there's no foreign language requirement, you can finish your degree anywhere from 6-10 years with no stipulations, and you only need a 2.0 GPA to graduate.
