Lori Loughlin Didn't Believe She'd Face Prison Time, Expected a 'Slap on the Wrist,' Source Claims
Entertainment Weekly ^ | April 10, 2019 | Paige Galway

Lori Loughlin is starting to come to terms with the new charge against her, a source tells ET.

A day after Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were charged in a second superseding indictment on conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering, a source tells ET that, up until this point, Loughlin didn't believe she would face the possibility of serving time in prison. Despite fearing the prospect of jail, the source claims Loughlin didn't truly believe it could happen to her.

Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters -- Olivia, 19, and Bella, 20 -- admitted to the University of Southern California as recruits for the crew team, even though neither of them participated in the sport.

"Lori still believed in the end she would just get a slap on the wrist," the source says. "At this point she is getting complete clarity and she’s scared and in terrible shape.

/src on/Too pretty, and too famous to go to jail./src off/ Now her best bet might be to go to trial, and attempt to go for a jury nullification verdict. I would hire the best jury consultants money can find; a bunch of fawning women who read "People" magazine and think Aunt Becky is her real personae.

They seem spring loaded to go after rich people who tamed the college admissions scam, but have no interest in the corrupt race/gender/diversity scam.

As a side note, if you have to bribe people half a million bucks to get into USC - that is beyond pathetic. USC. Lol.

College administrators and professors who touched the bribe prices should be prosecuted first.

“College administrators and professors who touched the bribe prices should be prosecuted first.”

Agree.

Did she ignore her lawyer’s advice? Or is her lawyer incompetent?

If she ignored the lawyer, he should leave.
If he gave bad advice, he should be fired.

From the article...

“Olivia (daughter) blames her mother and claims she always will,” the source says. “Olivia isn’t ready to forgive and has continued to distance herself. She is attempting to process all of this. And trying to work on ways to rebuild her business on her own without her parents’ help.”

When I read this, I wonder “Did the kids know the circumstances under which they were admitted to USC?” The daughter is acting like her mom betrayed her. OTOH, the daughter had to have at least understood that she wasn’t USC material and that strings were pulled to get in her there.

President Trump and the Department Of Justice are not afraid to go after rich, white women.

They don’t play favorites.

I wonder how Lori would look in prison orange? I’m thinking about those movies you’d see at Blockbuster (back in the 90’s) about women in prison? You know, the tight shorts and halter tops?

Her daughter Olivia is a spoiled little rich brat. A “YouTube star” according to the article. We have a generation of these little Instagram Princesses. They are vile, vain, and stupid. Yes, her rich parents are mostly to blame, but her other kids are not as bad. Also, not going after the corrupt college officials in this case (and only the parents) is like going after the prostitutes and leaving the Johns alone.

There he goes again! The Trump administration is preparing to separate children from their parents.

Some comic used the line “Lori Laughlin’s daughter is the first teenager in history to say that her mom ruined her life, and turned out to be right.”
