Felicity Huffman, who was also charged in the college admission scandal, previously pleaded guilty, saying in a statement that she accepts "full responsibility" for her actions. But Loughlin is going in the opposite direction as she faces the possibility of years in jail. CNN legal analyst and former prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN on Monday that Loughlin is taking a "big risk," and he predicted there will be a "big difference" in the end result for Loughlin and Huffman.
