The fact that she plead guilty, has seemed remorseful, and made statements regarding what she has done and she still got 14 days (which is absolutely nothing), I think Lori is going to get destroyed. As she should.

Yeah, this honestly gives me hope they actually will put Becky's stupid ass in jail for a year or two.

I will say Huffman was smart enough to just cough up a guilty plea than try to plead innocence. She basically said her kid wasn't smart enough to get in a good school... yikes.

Still a slap on the wrist but Lori and her entitled ass family needs to have the book thrown at them.

She said her daughter had a learning disability. Not that she wasn’t smart.

what a joke

I mean, ugh, rich people. I always despised Lynette and now I feel strangely justified.

14 DAYS IN JAIL. LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

She is going to be out in 45 minutes due to "overcrowding", right?

I think you have to serve a third of the sentence so it'll be like a long weekend in jail.

THE HORROR

[winterbam]

Lmao.

A black woman enrolls her child in a school closer to where her parents live and she gets FIVE. YEARS.

This leftover mayonnaise sandwich gets 14 days?

[spencoid]

that woman was also arrested for selling drugs and soliciting another woman for prostitution. Her 5 years was a plea deal, and a reduced sentence.
But still... drug crimes are pointless as well.

There was another (black) woman who enrolled her kids in a better school and she got 10 days + three years probation.

It wildly varies.

If we’re talking about the same case (William-Bolar) it was 10 days jail, 2 years probation, 80hrs community service. After review her convictions were reduced to misdemeanors.

I get why people are upset over disparity and without a doubt those years long sentences stated above are egregious. But honestly I don’t think sentencing Felicity for longer should be the take away, more so that those longer sentences are unduly harsh. I think Felicity’s sentence for her crimes, her cooperation and guilty plea, and previous record is fair. I don’t think unfair outcomes for others disregards that this is a fair outcome for Felicity.
