Andrew Lelling called Huffman 'probably the least culpable of the defendants who we've charged in that case.'
Andrew Lelling, whose office is prosecuting the Operation Varsity Blues case, gave a rare interview over the weekend praising"classy" Felicity Huffman ahead of prison. He also confirmed that Lori Loughlin faces a"substantially higher" amount of time behind bars if convicted.
Ultimately, Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison, 250 hours of community service and a fine of $30,000. "If people take responsibility for their conduct and they take responsibility for their conduct early on, then it will probably go better for them," he shared.
Loughlin and Giannulli are some of the parents implicated in the college admissions scandal that are fighting the charges against them. They pleaded not guilty to two charges: conspiracy to commit money laundering; and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud. They were hit with an additional charge when they didn't agree to a plea deal.
