FELICITY'S LETTER TO THE JUDGE

Felicity asked the judge, through her attorney, to be served a one-year probation and community service sentence. She also wrote an emotional letter to the judge, explaining that she got involved in the admission scheme only as a result of her desperation to be a good mother.

The actress also narrated how she came to be involved with the leader of the fraud, Rick Singer and revealed that her oldest daughter, Sophia, had been diagnosed with learning disabilities.

This fact and recommendations from various experts drove Felicity to want to influence Sophia's SAT scores.

Her husband, William H. Macy, also an actor, wrote a letter to the judge (he is one of her 27 dearest friends who did), and explained that his wife is trying to rebuild her relationship with daughters, Sophia and Georgia.

That relationship took a downward spiral in March when the scandal became public knowledge.
