SCIUTTO: Actress Felicity Huffman is expected in federal court later today to plead guilty for her role in that massive college admissions scandal. Huffman admitted to paying $15,000 to have someone correct SAT answers for her daughter. 50 people including parents, college coaches and test proctors are accused of taking part in the scam, that's only so far. CNN's Brynn Gingras joins me now. So, Brynn, Huffman's fate, including the possibility of real jail time, now in the hands of a judge?</s>BRYNN GINGRAS, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Exactly right. And today is an important day for Huffman. This is when she's formally going to plead guilty to this one count, one federal count of conspiracy to commit fraud. And I will say, Jim, we kind of have our head on a swivel right now because last time when Felicity Huffman appeared in this courthouse, she came very early for her initial arraignment. So we might see her a little earlier than usual. Her hearing is at 2:30 -- or her hearing is at 2:30 this afternoon. She also came last time with her brother. We did not see her husband, actor William H. Macy. So we're waiting to see if he arrives with her as well. But, yes, this is a big deal because she admitted guilt to this, right? And this is what prosecutors have been going after, all 50 people who have been charged thus far in the case. And she admits, as you said, to paying $15, 000 to this sham nonprofit started by Rick Singer to help get her daughter's SAT scores boosted.
