Life and errands go on forWilliam H. MacyforFelicity Huffmanas she awaits sentencing for her part in the college admissions scandal.
Macy, 69, was seen buying balloons that said “Congrats Grad!” and “You Did It!” on Wednesday. It’s unclear who the balloons are for.
Huffman, 56, paid $15,000 to admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer and his nonprofit organization, Key Worldwide Foundation (“KWF”), which prosecutors said was actually a front for accepting bribes.
She plead guilty for her involvement in court earlier this month where she explained her involvement. For the scheme to work, the venue of Huffman’s daughter’s SAT was changed from her high school to another location, which required a note from a neuropsychologist.
While addressing Judge Indira Talwani, Huffman broke down in tears explaining that her daughter had been seeing a neuropsychologist since the age of eight and had been receiving extra time on exams since she was 11. The request to change the venue, Huffman said, was made in earnest and not as part of the scheme.
Huffman reiterated that her daughter knew nothing about the scam, and on May 13 told Judge Talwani, “The neuropsychologist had no part of this.”
TheDesperate Housewivesactress has agreed not to appeal any prison decision up to 20 years. In return, the government is recommending that she receive a punishment near the lower-end of the sentencing guidelines of 4 to 10 months.
