Judge Rules To Deny Lori Loughlin's Motion To Dismiss All Charges

May 25, 2020 by apost team

A while ago, Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, applied a bid in court on a rather controversial case. As per court documents attained by Variety, the bid suggested the need to throw out charges in a widely publicized Operation Varsity Blues case.

In April, the couple filed a motion in court, appealing for the dismissal of charges filed against them. Lori and Mossimo claimed that the assigned government agents broke the law through coaching William Singer, who is allegedly the scam’s ring leader. The couple believes that William Singer was ordered to lie and deviate from the truth following the release of some recorded conversations. These conversations implicate the duo’s involvement in the scam alongside other families and Singer as a part of Operation Varsity Blues.

However, on Friday, 8th May, things took a turn in favor of the government agents in charge of the case. Judge Nathaniel Gorton ruled that there was no sufficient evidence pointing the finger at the government agents, clearly showing their involvement in twisting the truth and practicing misconduct.

According to Variety, Judge Nathaniel Groton ruled the following in court, “After consideration of the extensive briefing, affidavits, and other information provided by the government and defendants,” He then continued to conclude his ruling by declaring, “the Court is satisfied that the government has not lied to or misled the Court.”

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s trial still awaits action in Boston that will be announced this fall.

According to CNN, Groton wrote that while the government did fail to turn over the evidence quickly, they still have "ample time to prepare for trial with the benefit of the subject note and have not been unduly prejudiced by its late disclosure."

According to CBS News, the Full House actress and her husband Giannulli are being put on trial for allegedly having paid $500,000 in collaboration with Singer and a University of Southern California athletics official in order to get their two daughters into the university as members of the crew team, despite them not participating in the sport. 

The trial is set to begin on October 5th.
