Originally, all of those charged with mail fraud and honest services mail fraud were threatened by prosecutors with years in prison if they were convicted. Huffman pleaded guilty in a deal that called for prosecutors to recommend a sentence of four months in prison.

By the time she was sentenced, as the first parent in the scandal to learn her fate, prosecutors had dropped their recommendation to 30 days while Huffman and her attorneys wanted zero prison time for her. 

In the end, the judge sentenced her to 14 days, a $30,000 fine, supervised release for one year and 250 hours of community service for paying $15,000 to have someone correct answers on the SAT exam of one of her daughters.   

She is to report to prison by Oct. 25.

“The judge essentially split the baby in two," says Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Silva Megerditchian of SLM Law. "With public anger over the allegations, the considerable amount of media attention and the fact that Ms. Huffman is the first high-profile parent to be sentenced, the judge attempted to satisfy all sides.

"Considering all the uncertainty for Ms. Huffman when charges were first brought, she should be able to sleep well tonight.”

Lori Loughlin should have pleaded guilty and probably would have received a similar sentence.
