30 attorneys for 19 parents?  That's over 1 1/2 attorneys per parent, more if you consider the parents in pairs. I can't even afford one attorney.  I can't even afford half an attorney.
Charitable donations instead of bribes? I wish poor people could use that defense when they get very ticky tacky arrests. I wish Sandra Bland could say I didn’t signal because I was trying to conserve energy for the environment. Makes no sense but rich people’s defense don’t have to make any sense.
LOCK THEM ALL UP and charge those ‘privileged’ kids!
Them peckerwoods crazy
Yea George you probably don't see a problem with this since you are so liberal
Such bull. They should go to jail. Unbelievable they knew what they were doing. If your kid can't get in on their own merit they cannot obviously make the grade.
Worst thing: they will get through with this.
Do these people think they can buy their way into life?! I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to buy their way out of jail.
So that's their angle… lol what a joke.
now i get why my cousin didn't get into Princeton. it wasn't because of his 1.7 gpa, or because he only did half the exam and then called it quits once he got bored or because he technically didn't finish the application, it was because of those rich rats
A second American civil war is coming.
I have charitable donations earmarked for any judge I may face in the future…. 😋
Charity my ass!!!! She is so guilty!!!!
Only rich people get away with courts that's how crookit the government is

I hope they get a judge who’s having a bad day.
If you charge someone for bribes, give the money to the government to use as evidence in a court of law, has that ever happened or do the schools keep the money, someone answer that for me.
Charity? Pathetic.
Lies lies lies!!! Why haven’t we locked ðŸâ€Â’ this bi**h up yet?
BUSTED!!!
The ones who pleaded guilty weakened their case…. Lying in court needs to be made absolutely illegal and punishable with jail time for suspects, victims, attorneys, prosecutors and judges alike
Wealthy people will cough up tons of $$$ to lawyers to spin the legal system. If they choose to go that route, and not take a plea deal, then the book should be thrown at them with max jail and fine time. Then the wealthy will know what the "Little People" have to deal with in the legal system. One justice system for all!
Is Michael Strahan Mike Tyson's son?
Pathetic.
Oh how the rich always claim it’s charity.
Mayonnaise is slapping down the mayonnaise.
I knew this is the way the lawyers would go 😂
So how does the fake crew pictures play into the charity defense?
So let's just forget about the botched photo of her daughter pretending to be part of the rowing team? Hmmm how dumb do they think people are ?
They are all gonna walk.
