美女星获刑14天 网友:法律为富有白人“开恩”?(2)

“辛格告诉我,只要雇佣一位代理人,让其在女儿考试后一番操作,‘我们可以保证她达到她需要的成绩’。”

“现在听起来可能很荒谬,但是我那时真实地认为,如果我不听从辛格的建议,我将会是一个坏妈妈。”

今年5月份,赫夫曼正式认罪,承认以所谓慈善的名义支付给招生舞弊主谋威廉·辛格1万5千美元,修改其女儿学术能力评估测试(SAT)的答案以提高考试成绩。

在收到判决后,赫夫曼发出道歉声明,表示接受判决结果,并对受到伤害的学生和家长感到十分抱歉。

In a letter asking for leniency this month, Huffman said she turned to the scheme after her daughter‘s dream of going to college and pursuing a career in acting were jeopardized by her low math score。

“I honestly didn‘t and don’t care about my daughter going to a prestigious college,” Huffman wrote。 “I just wanted to give her a shot at being considered for a program where her acting talent would be the deciding factor。”

“I would like to apologize again to my daughter, my husband, my family and the educational community for my actions,” Huffman said in an emailed statement after the sentencing hearing。 “And I especially want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices supporting their children。”

网友:判得太短了!

网友在讨论中,反复将一个非裔美国母亲的案件与赫夫曼案对比。
