Lori Loughlin and her husband want to face trial in the nationwide college admissions scandal because they believe it is their best chance for redemption, according to a report.
“Lori feels like so much damage has been done publicly that the only way for her to counter it is to fight this case in court,” a source told People magazine about the 54-year-old “Full House” star.
“She feels like once all the evidence is presented, that people will understand how things happened,” the source added.
Loughlin, 54, and her fashion designer hubby, Mossimo Giannulli, 55, are facing wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges for allegedly paying crooked college prep expert William “Rick” Singer $500,000 to help get daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose into the University of Southern California.
Attorneys for the couple — who have previously turned down a plea deal — entered formal pleas of not guilty to wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy in court Monday.
If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison for each charge.
