Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli appeared in Boston federal court to settle a dispute over their choice of lawyers in the college admissions bribery case, after prosecutors had said their lawyers posed a potential conflict of interest.
A judge says actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, can continue using a law firm that recently represented the University of Southern California.
The couple appeared in Boston federal court Tuesday to settle a dispute over their choice of lawyers in a sweeping college admissions bribery case. Prosecutors had said their lawyers pose a potential conflict of interest. Loughlin and Giannulli say the firm's work for USC was unrelated to the admissions case and was handled by different lawyers.
The judge is expected to rule later on a potential conflict with another firm representing the couple that also represents other defendants in the case. The couple is accused of paying $500,000 to have their two daughters labeled as recruits to the USC crew team, even though neither participated in the sport. They have pleaded not guilty.
