Felicity Huffman‘s about to dodge a huge bullet in the college admissions bribery scandal … that is, if the judge takes federal prosecutors’ recommendation.
The U.S. Attorney filed docs Friday saying the actress should do one month in federal prison and pay $20,000 in fines. That’s a great deal for Felicity because back in May prosecutors were recommending she do somewhere between 4 to 10 months in prison.
As for why the feds softened, prosecutors say in docs, “Some period of incarceration is the only meaningul sanction for these crimes. Not because the defendants’ relative wealth has generated public resentment, but because jail is a particularly meaningful response to this kind of offense. For wrongdoing that is predicated on wealth and ratiionalized by a sense of privelege, incarceration is the only leveler: in prison everyone is treated the same, dressed the same, and intermingle regardless of affluence, position or fame.”
Translation … the government wants to scare the rich, privileged and celebs … so they know misdeeds will result in them going to prison — even for a little while.
