I sure hope Lori Loughlin finds out she should have taken the plea deal. I really believe she thinks there’s no way she can’t pay her way out of this. The arrogance of this woman is sickening. Also, her daughters had to know they didn’t have the grades for UCLA. I knew my grade point average in high school, how could they not? If this woman doesn’t do jail time, it will be a travesty.

It's the arrogance that living a pampered, fairy-tale lifestyle for most of your life brings you
I bet she sees herself the way the media saw her for years: as a sweet, charming beautiful angel
Only people who don't live like the rest of us can commit a clear act of bribery, know that bribery is a corrupt and illegal practice, and yet be able to disconnect their own actions from common sense
It isn't just about the fact that the stakes of the case were somewhat low. She DID, in fact, commit a crime. There is no question. Yet she pleaded Not Guilty when the evidence is undeniable. People like her need to be made into examples for the rest of the super-rich who think they live in a special bubble

Smollett should be in jail too. He's clearly got mental issues, but was also just thirsty for publicity 'cause he was a mediocre actor who wanted to be a bigger star than he deserved to be. Truly bizarre case. And it's a joke that he got away scot-free
But Loughlin deserves jail-time too. She's cute and has a beautiful looking family, so I'm sure in her mind she cannot possibly be a criminal. But that is exactly why she needs at least a little jail time, because she got caught, but there are thousands of other "Lori Loughlins" out there. People who seem perfect from the outside, and have such cushy lives that they think anything they do is acceptable and that their wealth can get them anything they want, even undeserved prestige for their little trophy children
I mentioned Smollett because he pleaded not guilty despite his guilt and got away with it. It's worth a shot.

No, I don't think she's been punished enough
Believe it or not, I believe that criminals should be punished via the law. She and her husband committed a crime, they should be punished with jail time, same as any other criminal. I don't care about public humiliation. Same goes with Jussie Whatever
Believe it or not, I believe that criminals should be punished via the law.
I just feel that too often white-collar criminals get away with a slap on the wrist
I don't think she herself is a danger to society. But the idea that just because someone looks sweet and innocent, or because they appear superficially to be the model of a good citizen, that they should be treated less harshly, I do think that that idea is dangerous to society
Don't think I worded that too well. I think the American justice system is very messed up. Oftentimes innocent people spend years in jail for crimes that they didn't commit, sometimes because police planted evidence or because of arrest quotas or any other plethora of reasons for miscarriages of justice. And in this case we have someone who VERY CLEARLY committed multiple crimes (bribery and tax fraud) and the evidence is ironclad, and has the audacity to plead Not Guilty. To not punish this person with jail-time would be a crime in itself, IMO
Yup

She and her husband were 'arrogant' and entitled
Lori Loughlin's attitude in court and leading up to her arrest may hurt her. The Atlantic reported that when Olivia Jade and Isabella's high school guidance counselor questioned their recruitment to USC as crew team members, Mossimo Giannulli allegedly "roared onto the high-school campus apoplectic." Their apparent incredulity continued in the scandal's aftermath. The sketch artist in Loughlin's first arraignment told Yahoo! Entertainment that she had full hair and makeup and appeared "a little arrogant" and "defiant." Illustrator Mona Shafer Edwards explained that Loughlin's demeanor was "kind of a defensive deflection like, 'Don't touch me. What am I doing here? Where are my people? When am I getting out?'"
Attorney Brad Micklin, who isn't involved in the case, told Inside Edition that Loughlin handled the appearance "poorly." The Daily Beast even reported Loughlin got "shushed" in court. Crisis manager Howard Bragman, who doesn't work for Loughlin but says he's "known her 'for years,'" told Elle that her autograph-signings outside of court "didn't help" either. "If you're possibly going to jail, I think your posture should parallel that," he said. "You have to look like it's the worst day of your life. I don't think there's sympathy for her."
