Lori Loughlin and husband to stick with joint counsel to fight charges in 'Varsity Blues' college entrance scam.
Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband walked into Boston federal court holding hands and put up a"united front" on Tuesday as they told a judge they are waiving their right to separate legal counsel in their fight against federal charges stemming from the massive"Varsity Blues" college entrance cheating scam that snared them and 49 other wealthy parents.
The couple was ordered to attend the hearing after federal prosecutors raised the specter that their lawyers from Latham & Watkins have a conflict of interest because they once represented one of the victims in the case, the University of Southern California, in an unrelated real estate dispute. In his declaration, Giannulli said,"Latham has represented me in a variety of matters for 21 years, and they are counsel I know and trust."
Despite the warning, Loughlin and Gianulli said they preferred to stick with Latham & Watkins as their joint counsel and the judge agreed to allow them to do so.
