The prosecutors are threatening 20 years in jail for what exactly? She paid extra money to get her kid in a PRIVATE school.

If this goes to court the states case is going to shit, because the private school in question (USC) is not going to go on record about how ANY kids get in their school.

Eta here's the thing a lot of people don't seem to understand, elite PRIVATE colleges have been taking "bribes" for decades. If this goes to court the entire university system (including all the athletes) are fucked, because the school will refuse to discuss how ANY student was admitted. That pretty much guts the states case. The prosecutors are bluffing, and trying to intimidate them with these completely ridiculous charges.
