Ruling in college admissions scam could reduce prison time
Read full article: Ruling in college admissions scam could reduce prison timeBOSTON - A federal judge's coming ruling in the college admissions scandal could determine whether the wealthy parents in the case get significant prison time -- or whether they only get a slap on the wrist. Federal court Judge Indira Talwani heard arguments on this debate in federal court Tuesday. These parents signed plea deals in which federal prosecutors agreed to recommend they get prison time at the low end of the federal sentencing guidelines range.
