Huffman wrote in a letter to the judge that desperation to be a good mother enabled her talk herself into thinking she was giving her daughter a fair shot.

Ahead of her sentencing, actress Felicity Huffman penned a letter to the judge that explained why she decided to pay to falsify her daughter's SAT exam scores.

Huffman will have the opportunity to address Judge Indira Talwani at the sentencing hearing, but ahead of the in-person meeting, she penned a letter. In the three-page missive, she took responsibility for her actions and outlined the circumstances that led to her arrest. Actor Felicity Huffman is escorted by police into court where she is expected to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud before Judge Talwani at John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse in Boston on May 13. Huffman is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday and ahead of her hearing, wrote a letter to the judge explaining the circumstances that led to her arrest.

"I honestly didn't and don't care about my daughter going to a prestigious college," Huffman wrote."I didn't want my daughter to be prevented from getting a shot at auditioning and doing what she loves because she can't do math." After weeks of indecision, the actor agreed to falsify Sophia's SAT scores. She considered doing the same for Georgia, her younger daughter, but it"haunted" her to the point she knew it wasn't right and stopped the process for Georgia.
