Prosecutors have taken aim at Felicity Huffman's blog ahead of her sentencing Friday, saying her “brazen hypocrisy” factored into their request that she serve a month in prison.
“From one angle,” she said,"motherhood can be viewed as one long journey of overcoming obstacles. I salute mothers everywhere who overcome obstacles with grace, courage and tenacity.”
Prosecutors, however, have taken aim at the blog ahead of Huffman’s scheduled sentencing, saying “brazen hypocrisy” factored into their request that she serve a month in prison. Huffman used her blog to put forth “a public persona as a likeable everywoman and trustworthy purveyor of parenting wisdom,” they wrote in a sentencing memo, even as she was arranging to rig her daughter’s SAT.
“She hurt her daughters,” Macy said. “It was the one thing she swore never to do, and she did it. It’s a great lump of pain she carries with her every night and day.” In her letter to the judge, Huffman attempted to explain how a mother who encouraged others to not just accept but embrace their shortcomings resorted to fraud to boost her daughter’s chances of getting into college.
