Former President Donald Trump's media and technology company must turn over information about ex-Congressman Devin Nunes' employment as its chief executive officer, a federal judge ruled on Friday.
The ruling stems from a $75 million defamation lawsuit brought by Nunes, a former Republican U.S. Congressman from California, against Hearst Magazine Media Inc and journalist Ryan Lizza.
U.S. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman in West Palm Beach, Florida, ruled that Trump Media and Technology Group Corp has 10 days to comply with the defendants' subpoena and provide information regarding Nunes' employment as CEO. Trump Media owns Truth Social, Trump's social media startup.
Nunes is suing Hearst and Lizza in Iowa federal court over a 2018 Esquire magazine article, which Lizza wrote, that said the Nunes family dairy cow farm had moved from California to Iowa. The judge's ruling addressed Hearst's bid for information that the media defendants want to use to counter Nunes' claim that the article caused him to suffer reputational harm. Hearst and Lizza have denied Nunes' defamation claims.
Trump's company is not a plaintiff in the case. A lawyer for the company, Scott Allen of Lippes Mathias, did not immediately respond to messages on Monday seeking comment. A spokesperson for Trump's company did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment, and there was no immediate response from Nunes to a request for comment.
Nunes, who joined Trump's media company in January from the U.S. House of Representatives, had been the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. A lawyer for Nunes, Steven Biss, did not immediately return a message seeking comment on Monday.
Hearst and Lizza, a former Esquire correspondent who was hired at Politico in 2019, are seeking information that includes Nunes' onboarding at Trump's media company and copies of any employment agreements and contracts. Lizza did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment, and a representative for Politico declined to comment.
Hearst's lawyers said they anticipate the subpoenaed documents will show Nunes "maintains a sterling reputation."
Trump's company argued the requested information was irrelevant to Nunes' defamation case and that complying with the demands would be burdensome.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year upheld the dismissal of Nunes' "express" defamation claims but revived allegations of "defamation by implication" based on a tweet Lizza sent in 2019 linking to the Esquire article.
Nathaniel Boyer, a Hearst legal department attorney who argued before Matthewman for Esquire and Lizza, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The case is Ryan Lizza and Hearst Magazine Media Inc v. Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, No. 9:22-mc-81070-DMM.
FOR PLAINTIFF: Deanna Shullman and Rachel Fugate of Shullman Fugate; Nathaniel Boyer of The Hearst Corporation
FOR DEFENDANT: Alessandro Apolito and Scott Allen of Lippes Mathias

food blogger
How did we ever manage to cook before the arrival of the internet? I suppose we had to rely on cookbooks, cooking tv shows, and knowledge handed down from our grandmothers. Of course, the more daring would experiment in the kitchen, remembering the successes, and mercifully forgetting any culinary disasters.
Nowadays we have a multitude of food blogs offering mouth-watering recipes, suggestions, and vivid photography, sending us straight to the kitchen … or the supermarket. There are hundreds of food blogs to tempt your taste buds.
 Let’s talk a bit about the history of recipes. Before the internet, giant corporations like Hearst, Meredith and Time Inc. dominated the food media space. They had incredible magazines with a massive number of readers that generated so much money. We’ve all heard stories about the swanky parties or lengthy, indulgent business lunches. That was back in traditional media’s golden days.
Then, with the rise of the Internet, we saw demand for recipes quickly shift to online. And not only did the internet take people online, but it democratized content creation. Cue: food blogs.
As the flood of consumers took to their computers, demand for recipes was high. And a few early adopters quickly realized that they could gain a following by throwing up a small site to post recipes. When they found that they had a lot of readers, naturally, advertisers were interested.
These early food bloggers made substantial money and when other food-lovers heard of this new platform to make money while writing about cooking...well, that’s when the wave of food bloggers hit. People, by the thousands, created blogs similar to the ones that were already making money in the hopes that they could grab some market share.
So what happens next? We can use simple economics. Think first about advertiser spend. Ten years ago, demand for bloggers was high and supply of bloggers was low, which meant that there was a lot of money to be had. And so bloggers flooded the market and increased supply. This increase in supply leads to a decrease in price, as advertisers realized that there were bloggers willing to accept less for a sponsored post or banner ads.
In the current paradigm of advertising, making more money as a blogger means building more impressions on your site. But let's say that an advertiser is willing to pay for 100 ad impressions. Now, as we increase the number of bloggers, you can see that the average number of ad impressions also decreases until at some point you have so many bloggers that each blogger gets, on average, less than 1 impression.
Obviously this is a simplification, but if you combine the two figures, you see that this increase in supply of bloggers has led to a catch 22. A decrease in value occurred because there was an increase in supply, and this increase in supply led to a decrease in the average number of impressions a blogger can get. And when the only way to increase the value of your blog is to get more impressions, then there is a conundrum.
Now, here it is… it’s going to be hard to swallow, but I predict a major dropoff in the number of food bloggers. When people realize that food blogging isn’t just a “fun and easy way to make a living” there is going to be a great divide between those that can innovate and work through those challenges and those that can’t.
So how do you overcome these challenges and come out on the other side? Disruption.
Who was the first one that started their own food blog? Who designed the first blog layout? Who was the first to put banner ads on their blog? Who was the first to do a “sponsored post”?
These are all things that now ubiquitous in the blogger community, but they didn’t appear out of nowhere. Someone, somewhere decided to come up with a new way to differentiate and monetize his or her blog, and found that consumers and brands loved it. That is exactly what the blogger community needs.
Right now, bloggers follow the lead of the more influential bloggers. They are reading eBooks, and how-to guides on making their blog better, but that’s really just hurting the blogger community because it is making everyone’s blog the same, and commoditizing bloggers. That’s the last thing you want.
You want to stand out. You want to disrupt. You want to own your little corner of the food world so that you’re not on the same graph with everyone else, you’re on a graph of your own. Think less about how to be moe like successful bloggers; think more about how you can stand out or do something brand new.
The winds are shifting and there is going to be a major change in the blogging world. No one said that this was going to be easy. The question is, are you up for the challenge?
At this point of time I wants to interduce my website www.aaochatoro.in . It’s all about food trends , easy and quick recipes , Indian street food vlogs and blogs and much more. From past few months I started reading food blogs and also started following food vloggers and bloggers and that point of time I realised that this is something I actually wants to do means shearing my own recipes and reviewing street food etc. And I knew that this is not gonna be easy to being a food blogger as it seems even though it is one of the best blogs niches to get into but it has its own disadvanges as the competition with other bloggers is quite fierce here and maintaining the rhythm stability and popularity of this job is quite a messy task.

Insurers Beware: A Chink in the Armor of New York v. Sullivan
Posted on September 23, 2021 by Barry Zalma
Tumblr media
Actual Malice in Republication of Defamation by Implication
Tumblr media
Devin Nunes, a Member of Congress from California, appealed an order of the district court dismissing his complaint alleging defamation and conspiracy claims against Ryan Lizza and Hearst Magazine Media, Inc. The claims are based on an article published in Esquire magazine and republished after suit was filed claiming the article was false and defamatory. In Devin G. Nunes v. Ryan Lizza, Hearst Magazine Media, Inc., No. 20-2710, United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit (September 15, 2021) Nunes established the complaint sufficiently alleged defamation by implication and that the defamation was actually malicious.
FACTS
Representative Nunes has been a Member of Congress since 2003. He worked on his family’s farm in California as a child, and later owned farmland with his brother. In 2006, the Nunes family sold its farmland in California, and the Congressman’s parents and brother moved to Sibley, Iowa, where his father purchased a dairy farm, NuStar Farms. According to the complaint, the farm is operated by the Congressman’s family without his involvement, and the Congressman has no financial interest in the farm.
On September 30, 2018, Esquire magazine (then owned by Hearst) published an article about Representative Nunes and the farm. Lizza authored the piece. The online version is entitled “Devin Nunes’s Family Farm Is Hiding a Politically Explosive Secret.” The print version is entitled “Milking the System,” and includes a caption that asks two questions about a Congressman who has “spun himself as a straight talker whose no-BS values are rooted in his family’s California dairy farm”: “So why did his parents and brother cover their tracks after quietly moving the farm to Iowa? Are they hiding something politically explosive?”
The article maintains that Representative Nunes and his family hid the fact that the family farm is now in Iowa and declares it “strange . . . that the family has apparently tried to conceal the move from the public-for more than a decade.”
The article later asserts that the farm uses undocumented labor: “According to two sources with firsthand knowledge, NuStar did indeed rely, at least in part, on undocumented labor. One source . . . had personally sent undocumented workers to Anthony Nunes Jr.’s farm for jobs” and “assert[ed] that the farm was aware of their status.”
Two statements insinuate that the farm’s use of undocumented labor is the reason that Representative Nunes and his family were hiding the family’s move and their operation of an Iowa dairy farm. The article also accuses Representative Nunes of improper conduct during his tenure as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. The article says that he used his chairmanship (1) “to spin a baroque theory about alleged surveillance of the Trump campaign that began with a made-up Trump tweet about how ‘Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower, ‘” and (2) as a “battering ram to discredit the Russia investigation and protect Donald Trump at all costs, even if it means shredding his own reputation and the independence of the historically nonpartisan committee in the process.”
After the article was published, Nunes sued Lizza and Hearst in the district court, alleging common-law defamation and conspiracy. The complaint, as amended, claims express defamation based on eleven alleged false statements in the article, and defamation by implication. The alleged defamatory implication is that the article implies falsely that Representative Nunes “conspired or colluded with his family and with others to hide or cover-up” that the farm “employs undocumented labor.”
The trial court dismissed the complaint and Nunes appealed the dismissal. Nunes contended that his complaint states a claim for express defamation and defamation by implication. Defamation is an invasion of the interest in reputation and good name that is comprised of the twin torts of libel and slander-the former being written and the latter being oral. Nunes’s complaint sounds in libel.
Because Representative Nunes is a public figure, the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on the First Amendment also requires him to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defamatory statement is false and was made with actual malice. [Harte-Hanks Commc’ns, Inc. v. Connaughton, 491 U.S. 657, 659 (1989); N.Y. Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 279-80 (1964).]
A claim asserting defamation by implication requires proof of similar elements, except that a plaintiff need not show that individual statements are defamatory. The implication constitutes defamation even though the particular facts are correct, unless it qualifies as an “opinion.”
The Eighth Circuit agreed with the district court that the complaint fails to state a claim for express defamation based on the statements, and adopted the court’s conclusions. Nunes contended that his complaint states a plausible claim for defamation by implication. It is well settled that the arrangement and phrasing of apparently nonlibelous statements cannot hide the existence of a defamatory meaning when a reader could reasonably arrive at the implication, the author may be accountable.
Here, the article’s principal theme is that Nunes and his family hid the farm’s move to Iowa-the politically explosive secret.
A conspiracy is an agreement that requires knowledge-here, knowledge that the farm employed undocumented labor-and a knowing agreement to cover up that politically embarrassing fact. Whether Nunes knew about the farm’s hiring practices, including the potential use of undocumented labor, and whether he agreed with others to keep that information secret, are issues of verifiable fact. The implication is “sufficiently factual to be susceptible of being proved true or false,” so it is not a protected opinion.
To demonstrate that a defendant intended subjectively an implication, it is sufficient to show that the particular manner or language in which the true facts are conveyed, supplies affirmative evidence suggesting that the defendant intends or endorses the defamatory inference. The Eighth Circuit found that Nunes plausibly alleged that Lizza and Hearst intended or endorsed the implication that Nunes conspired to cover up the farm’s use of undocumented labor.
The next issue for consideration is “actual malice.” The Supreme Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment requires a public official to prove that defamatory statements or implications are made with “actual malice,” meaning with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.. In this context, reckless conduct is not measured by whether a reasonably prudent man would have published. Instead, the defendant must have made the false publication with a high degree of awareness of probable falsity, or must have entertained serious doubts as to the truth of his publication.
Under the demanding standard set by the New York Times case, the Eighth Circuit agreed with the district court that the complaint is insufficient to state a claim of actual malice as to the original publication.
There is a distinction in defamation law between an original publication and a republication. In that situation, the publication reaches a new group and the repetition justifies a new cause of action. The justification for this exception to the “single publication” rule is that the subsequent publication is intended to and actually reaches a new audience. A speaker who repeats a defamatory statement or implication after being informed of its falsity “does so at the peril of generating an inference of actual malice.” Bertrand v. Mullin, 846 N.W.2d 884, 901 (Iowa 2014). Once the publisher knows that the story is erroneous the argument for weighting the scales on the side of its first amendment interests becomes less compelling.
Nunes’s initial complaint was filed on September 30, 2019. The complaint denied that Nunes had any involvement in the farm’s “operations,” denied that there was a “secret” involving the farm’s move to Iowa and his alleged hypocrisy on immigration policy, and denied that he “was involved in, covered-up, . . . conspired with others to conceal, or was aware of criminal wrongdoing.”
Nonetheless, on November 20, 2019, Lizza posted a tweet with a link to the article. The complaint plausibly alleges that the article defames Nunes by implication. The complaint  adequately alleges that Lizza intended to reach and actually reached a new audience by publishing a tweet about Nunes and a link to the article. In November 2019, Lizza was on notice of the article’s alleged defamatory implication by virtue of this lawsuit. Under those circumstances, the complaint sufficiently alleges that Lizza republished the article after he knew that the Congressman denied knowledge of undocumented labor on the farm or participation in any conspiracy to hide it.
Republication of a statement after the defendant has been notified that the plaintiff contends that it is false and defamatory may be treated as evidence of reckless disregard.  The Eighth Circuit remanded for further proceedings on Nunes’s claim alleging defamation by implication, and the related claim alleging a common-law conspiracy, as to the publication of November 20, 2019.
ZALMA OPINION
Insurers who insure against defamation and have relied on the “actual malice” requirement of defamation of a public figure, should read this decision with care. Although the Eighth Circuit refused to reconsider New York Times v. Sullivan it found actual malice in the republication and allows Nunes to go forward with his suit against Lizza and Hearst. Their insurers will be required to defend through trial and may find a claim for payment of damages. The issue may also reach the Supreme Court where some justices have discussed the need to reconsider the New York Times v. Sullilvan case.

Shawn Mendes Shares Look At Life With Camila Cabello In Quarantine: PJs And No Pants Needed
BY ALYSSA BAILEY OCT 27, 2020
Shawn Mendes isn't the type to post much about his relationship on Instagram, but this morning, the singer made an exception. Mendes posted a shot of him and Camila Cabello cuddly at home as they quarantine together in Los Angeles. She's wearing an oversized Superman shirt (likely Mendes'), and he's in a white tank and boxers. No one is wearing pants...at least visibly.
ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW
It's an intimate shot, and one that makes you wonder who took it: an assistant, friend, family member, or self timer...
INSTAGRAM
Mendes captioned the post simply: "reina 🦋" he wrote of his girlfriend of one year.
Mendes spoke earlier this month about how quarantine has changed his relationship with Cabello. To him, they're practically one person now.
As he explained to SiriusXM's Jim Ryan, "There was like a real time when she was doing her thing and then I was doing my thing and we were together, but like, also working separately and the quarantine brought us together and now we've kind of become one, where we're doing our thing. And it's really interesting how that dynamic changes when, especially when your girlfriend's a writer and a musician and she's incredible, you have two options. You can be really scared and intimidated or you can be like, 'Oh, I should probably ask you for some help or like what you think.'"
With his new album Wonder, "I don't know if she's credited all over the album, but she should be because there was nobody during the time that was giving me more advice and encouragement to just stick to the way I felt about the music that I wanted to make, you know?" he added.

Racial Fetishization and Stereotyping in Pornography - Natalie Tapia
In 2018, there were 33.5 billion web visits to Pornhub alone, with almost 4.8 billion videos uploaded to the site (Rense, 2018). With such a huge number like this of options, users are bound to find countless variations of content for them to enjoy. However, curiosity may strike some individuals when it comes to exactly what is popular and gets viewed the most, not only on Pornhub, but on other sites in general. Because Pornhub is the top pornographic site in the country, we can assume it is pretty representative of what would get searched on other sites in this realm. As far as categories go, ‘Japanese’ and ‘Ebony’ managed to make it into the Top 10 most watched, ranking at #2 and #4 respectively (Rense, 2018). However, many races have become their own category on many pornography sites, which raises some questions and concerns about racial fetishization in pornography. These racial perspectives in pornography reinforce the gender roles that Hawkes outlines as making heterosexuality so prominent. 
Racial fetishization and sexual racism sound like two contradicting terms, but one often results from the other. Racial fetishization is much deeper than just physical attraction towards someone of a specific race; it is the desire of certain traits as well as setting behavioral expectations due only to someone’s race and the stereotypes that surround it. As Kyndall Cunningham puts it, reducing “human beings to characteristics” objectifies them and is as if their race is the only component of their identity as a person (2018). As can be seen, an obsessive sexual lust of people of a certain ethnicity contributes to sexual racism, in which ethnic minorities continue to be seen as inferior and makes them vulnerable to sexual violence. 
An example of sexual racism that can lead to fetishism is the term ‘Yellow Fever,’ used to describe constant sexual attraction towards women of Asian backgrounds. However, Cunningham writes about an OkCupid user data report that revealed that Asian men were ranked the least attractive (2018), which may be a result from the stereotype that Asian people are “docile, submissive, and subservient,” as well as “people who won’t speak up when wronged and will follow orders without protest,” (Japanese American Citizens League, 2018). It is possible that these traits affected women’s views on the physical attraction of the men on these OkCupid profiles, as these stereotypes are very much the opposite of what is expected from and considered desirable in men in American culture. On the other hand, these stereotypes go hand-in-hand with the expectation of ‘womanly’ behavior, empowering the male/female sexual and social inequality which we have analyzed all semester. These stereotypes have been built from years of discriminatory attitudes of society, and the sexual submissiveness of women has been expected much of history. Hawkes’ analyzation of subversive men, who may take on submissive roles in their sexual or romantic relationships, emphasizes that this movement is very stigmatized and is associated with homosexuality (133). This still negatively viewed behavior of subversive men is an example of how men who don’t fit into the ‘macho’ mold, such as how Asian men can be depicted in pornography, are less valued in society. 
Black women have also been made a target for sexual racism and fetishism. An infographic revealed that a number of states, pretty much all of the Southern states, searched up the term ‘Ebony’ more than any other terms in pornography (Lemaris, 2013). In terms of the discourse of male domination, our country’s shameful history of blatant racism and slavery allowed for black women to be “used as sex objects for the pleasure of white men,” leading to sexual violence, and again, dehumanization of this group (Hill-Collins, 307). Racist attitudes against black women [and men] have been present for much of our country’s history, from the beginning of the bourgeoisie anxieties in which the lower class women, which included black women, were driven to prostitution and were seen as ‘fallen,’ (Hawkes, 43), to recent debates of racial pay inequality. Patricia Hill-Collins states that black women have been objectified and are often shown “in a situation of bondage and slavery” in order to fullfill fantasies and sexualize historical occurences (309). This belief that black women are exploited for the entertainment and pleasure of others is not without reason, as “a black female porn actress averages three-fourths the salary of a white pornography actress,” (Lemaris, 2013). 
Obviously, pornography and marriage are two very different things. However, some quick facts help to put things into historical context. It may come as a surprise to know that as of 1967, interracial marriage was still outlawed in 16 states (Seidman, 112). Negative attitudes towards interracial marriage and pairings in general were shaped by things like the eugenics movement in the 20th century, in which maintaining “racial white purity and supremacy by prohibiting interracial sex…” was a priority (Seidman, 188). Pornography, however, has only become ‘mainstream’ around the 1900s when more and more people had internet accessibility. Relatively, these attitudes and laws on interracial marriage, a relationship in which it is assumed two people are involved sexually with one another, were held not that long ago. Though racial stereotypes often shown in porn are heavily disguised as sexual chemistry between [often] men and women, interracial sex scenes are still considered taboo and can feed into racist and demeaning attitudes towards ethnic minorities. Many times women in pornographic videos, regardless of race, are seen as targets, submissive, or a ‘challenge’ that men have to overcome and dominate. The hypersexualization of specific ethnic groups also enforces Hawke’s major themes of the importance of gender, male domination, as well as gender roles in heterosexuality. 
I’d like to make a disclaimer and state that though the focus in this post, Asian women and black women are not the only targets of racial fetishization. Many other racial groups and genders have been diminished to certain sexual behaviors as well, such as black men being depicted of being overly aggressive and vulgar, and Hispanic women depicted as feisty and easily seduced. This is also not to say that any form of interracial pornography is inherently racist or that having a preference in dating/sexual partners strictly means someone is fetishizing them. The next post will explore critiques of the view that pornography can be racist, as well as the direction that interracial pornography may go in the future.

Bazaar’s Guide to Clean Beauty
When we think about clean beauty, most of us don’t know where to start, or what this even entails. Clean beauty is sweeping the nation and is being used by thousands of people every day. The need to cut out the harmful products, such as parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances, in our everyday life is something people all over the world are trying to fix. Bazaar is a central hub for health, wellness, beauty and so much more. They joined in on the topic of clean beauty and laid out the ultimate way to approach your lifestyle change. Not only did they discuss good ways to start, but they also gave you the rundown on all the nasty things being placed in our products. Overall, the clean beauty movement started with the harmful ingredients in our food and is now being looked at from every industry. “Clean beauty is a spectrum, but a case can be made that some ingredients should be avoided altogether” (Fleming and Rosenstein). Parabens are one toxic ingredient that is in so many of the products we use on a daily basis. Parabens are used as a preservative in many beauty products such as shampoo, moisturizers and shaving products. Parabens are to worry some for the mimicking of hormones, that can be released into our bodies through our pores, which can cause different interlay problems, there is talk that parabens can lead to cancer. However, this has not been confirmed, but if this is a possibility, why should we be using them. Fragrances are also being taken out of different products because of the new information that they cause irritation to the skin. The different chemicals in fragrances aren’t disclosed, which is scary. They carry so many different harmful chemicals that we are kept in the dark about. One chemical in fragrances that are a high concern is phthalates, which can be linked to infertilely, breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Most of us are probably aware of formaldehyde, which can be found in nail polish, laundry detergents, and furniture, but you might be unaware of it in your beauty items. This chemical is known for having harmful long-term effects when exposed to it for long amounts of time. Many hair care products use formaldehyde to keep the hair particles sleek and straight, but are these products worth it? 
Next time you go shopping for some new facial cleansers and shampoos, try to be aware of the labels. Many shops now have a clean beauty section that is more considerate of consumer and environmental health. You should also be aware of the ingredients in these products. Read your labels!

Felicity Huffman And Lori Loughlin’s Fates After College Admissions Scandal
By Jessa Goldman, University of North Carolina Class of 2021
September 11, 2019
Tumblr media
In an admissions scandal that the Department of Justice has said is one of the largest in history, over 50 people were charged after the FBI’s “Operation Varsity Blues.” This operation uncovered a large scale conspiracy that involved acts like bribery and forgery of test scores in order to gain admission for children to schools such as the Yale, Stanford, and the University of Southern California. Among those arrested and charged were actress Felicity Huffman of Desperate Housewives, and Lori Loughlin, known for her role as ‘Aunt Becky’ in Full House. Huffman was arrested for allegedly paying a $15,000 bribe and altering her daughter’s test scores, while Loughlin and her husband, clothing designer Mossimo Giannulli, were arrested for allegedly paying $500,000 as a bribe and creating false athletic records to get their daughter into USC. [1] The FBI initially charged Huffman, Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. [2]
Diverging Paths
Though they may have been involved in the same admissions scandal, there are key differences in the actresses’ situations, legal strategies, and the charges they face from the FBI. Huffman has issued a public apology and appears remorseful in court, while Loughlin has appeared arrogant to some and even signed autographs for fans outside the courthouse. There are also vastly different amounts of money involved, with Huffman paying $15,000 and Loughlin allegedly paying $500,000. Additionally, the parents have different circumstances that have been outlined in court. Plans between Huffman and William Singer, the mastermind behind the scheme, were to alter her daughter’s SAT score, but plans in the case of Loughlin and Giannulli involved the entire college admissions process because they created fake academic records and credentials for both of her daughters and bribed coaches through Singer. Former LA prosecutor Eileen Decker has said that the large differences between the two are “a critical factor” in the cases against them and that “It goes to their individual culpability. This scheme had so many levels to it: having a person take the test for them, putting money through the fake charity, hiding it from children and authorities. So far, the Loughlin case indicates far more significant involvement in the fraud.” [1]
Huffman has chosen to take a guilty plea for a lighter sentence. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Manny Medrano has told the LA Times that based on the 2019 federal sentencing guidelines, Huffman will likely receive a sentence of 4 to 10 months in prison. According to Medrano, this would be a relatively light sentencing recommendation because Huffman has no prior criminal history and because the amount of money involved is relatively small. [3]
However, Loughlin and her husband have decided to take their chances by not taking a guilty plea. In response, prosecutors slapped them with more charges to turn up the heat. Originally charged with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud, they were then additionally charged with conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering. The maximum sentence for Loughlin and Giannulli’s original charges would have been 20 years, but both now face up to 40 years in prison with the additional charges. Loughlin and Giannulli will instead take their chances going to trial in the hope that they will be not be found guilty by a jury. [4]
Legal Experts Weigh In
Currently, it is reported that Loughlin and Giannulli’s main argument is that they did not realize what they were doing was wrong. But, ignorance of the law is not much of a criminal defense, confirmed by criminal attorney Mari Handerson in a statement to Elle magazine. Henderson stated that "You learn almost in the first days of law school that ignorance of the law is no excuse,"and that"Just because you didn't know it was illegal is not any kind of defense." Henderson believes that based on the overwhelming amount of evidence against Loughlin and Giannulli that it is clear that they understood that what they were doing was not legal. [5]
The clear differences that lie between the two tactics of Loughlin and Huffman are significant for the impact they will have on possible legal outcomes. Many legal experts who have weighed in on this situation do not believe that this will turn out in Loughlin and Giannulli’s favor. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney and current Pace Law Professor Mimi Rocah believes that Loughlin is likely facing jail time due to the large amount of money involved in the allegations against her. Trial attorney Pate Page has stated that the time served in each case will depend on the loss amount, or how much money the government can connect to the fraud. The level of sophistication of the scheme and what role a person played in it are also important sentencing factors. Page estimates that Loughlin could face 37-48 months in prison if convicted in a trial. [6]
Similarly, former prosecutor and current defense attorney Julie Rendlemen believes that prison time is definitely a possibility because the actresses are high-profile celebrities. Rendlemen stated that because of this, “the government/presiding judge may want to make an example of them to deter the act of using wealth to manipulate the system.” Robert Bianchi, a former prosecutor and current legal analyst, has said that “As a prosecutor I would be seeking jail time for the rich and elite who countenanced and funded this bribery scheme, and by definition, stopped qualified and deserving students who worked hard and played by the rules their chance at taking one of those seats at the college(s). The arrogance and hubris of those parents who feel they can illegally flout their power and money is something I would make an example of, but again, to a lesser extent than the organizers.” [6] All in all, experts seem to believe that the odds may be against Loughlin and her husband. It will certainly be interesting to see how things turn out for Huffman as well as how a trial will play out for Loughlin and Giannulli.
