Felicity Huffman would serve 14 years if she were Black, Wendy Williams says

Felicity Huffman would serve 14 years if she were Black, Wendy Williams says

ROLLING OUT

Wendy Williams recently blasted actress Felicity Huffman and the judicial system. During the latest episode of “The Wendy Williams Show,” the talk show host spoke about Huffman and the 14-day sentence she received for her role in the scandal in which wealthy individuals paid thousands to help their underachieving kids gain admission to college.

“If she was Black, it’d be 14 years,” Williams told her audience. “Do I think she’ll ever work again? Yeah, because first of all, she copped to it. Second of all, she’s one half of a power couple in Hollywood. And she’s a nice woman.”

Williams statement was echoed by many on social media who viewed Huffman’s sentence as a slap on the wrist. The hashtag #Whiteprivilege has trended on Twitter since Huffman received a sentence of 14 days, one year of supervised release, 250 community service hours and a fine of $30,000 for allegedly paying $15,000 to inflate her daughter’s SAT scores.

Some have compared Huffman’s case to a Black woman named Tanya McDowell, according to Connecticut Post. In 2011, McDowell enrolled her then-5-year-old son Andrew into an elementary school by using a friend’s address. McDowell was homeless at the time and wanted to enroll her son in a school that had a good record for producing high achievers. She was eventually arrested and charged with first-degree larceny and sentenced to five years of prison.

Singer John Legend also spoke up on Twitter, blasting Huffman’s sentence in comparison to McDowell’s.

“It’s insane we locked a woman up for 5 years for sending her kid to the wrong school district,” Legend’s Twitter post read. “Literally everyone involved in that decision should be ashamed of themselves.”

If she was black she would do no time for this crime.

I beg to differ. A Black woman is doing a full five years for the "crime" of registering her son in a better school district, by using a relative's address.

Funny how you leave out the salient facts.

She was NOT sentenced to 5 years for using a false address. The sentence, which came after a plea agreement, actually encompassed three crimes to which she pleaded guilty: Larceny (the false address) and two counts of sale of narcotics.

Try reporting the complete story next time.

"She eventually took a plea deal for the larceny charge and was sentenced to five years in prison for falsifying her address to get her son a better education."

McDowell was given a 12-year suspended sentence for the drug charges. The time she actually served was for the school case only.

Why don't you try reporting the real story next time yourself?

From your own link to the CT Post:

"The sentence is to run concurrently with a five-year sentence she received in the Norwalk case."

The Norwalk case is the school district case. That supports what I posted earlier, that McDowell did, in fact, receive a 5-year sentence solely for enrolling her son in a different school district.

I did note that she received a separate 12-year suspended sentence for the drug case.

Uh, no:

"The sentence is to run concurrently with a five-year sentence she received in the Norwalk case."

That's from his own CT Post link, and the "Norwalk case" is the school district case.

It would be a double standard if she got sentenced because she was black. However, that hasn't been said to be the reason. It is just an assumption on your part, nothing more, nothing less.

The sentencing disparity between Black and White defendants convicted of similar (and sometimes the same) crimes.

New York's DCJS studied this and issued a report, pointing out that even where Black and White defendants were charged with the same offense, with similar circumstances and criminal histories, the white defendants almost universally fared better before a judge.

You might be shocked to hear this, but I also can't stand when these smug rich people get away with shit like that. But I also understand that they hire high-priced attorneys, who do their job, that is to either get them off if they can, or if they can't, get the best deal for that clients. I've never begrudged attorneys for that.
