Lori Loughlin’s highly-anticipated college admissions scandal trial will go on as planned in October despite the Chinese virus pandemic, a federal judge in Boston has ruled.
Federal courts in Boston, Springfield and Worcester will remain open amid the outbreak, though pre-trial deadlines in criminal cases have been extended for 60 days, the Boston Herald reported.
Yet US District Judge Nathaniel Gorton said Tuesday he would only make pre-trial deadline exceptions in the “Varsity Blues” case for “good cause,” according to the Herald.
“This judicial officer hereby determines that all established pre-trial deadlines in the above-captioned case continue to apply,” Gorton’s order said.
“Any motion for an extension of time will be considered on an individualized basis and granted only for good cause shown.”
At a hearing last month, Gorton said a swift resolution of the case is in the interest of the defendants as well as “the public at-large and the criminal justice system generally.”
The “Fuller House” actress and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli are set to go on trial in Boston Oct. 5. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Sept. 28, and the trial is expected to be completed before Thanksgiving.
Loughlin, 55, and Giannulli, 56, are accused of shelling out $500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as rowing recruits, even though they’d never participated in the sport.
They have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to fraudulently transfer funds and conspiracy to commit bribery.
If found guilty, the celebrity couple could face up to 45 years in prison.
