In a new development that surprises no one, Felicity Huffman has been released from federal prison after serving only 11 days of her already-light 14-day sentence for her role in the ongoing college admissions scandal, per CNN. The actress tearfully pleaded guilty back in May to conspiracy to commit mail fraud. At her sentencing, Judge Indira Talwani verbally rebuked any notion that Huffman’s behavior should be excused as “good parenting,” responding to Huffman’s earlier explanation of trying to boost her daughter’s test scores. “Trying to be a good mother doesn’t excuse this,” Talwani said during the verdict. “The outrage in this case is a system that is already so distorted by money and privilege in the first place.”
