College Admissions Scandal Update: Lori Loughlin 'Quietly' Takes Unexpected Step Ahead Of Trial Date

Lori Loughlin may be preparing for her upcoming trial following her alleged participation in the college admissions scandal, but it seems as though the "Fuller House" actress also has something else on her mind.

In 2019, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying William "Rick" Singer $500,000 so that their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, could go to the University of Southern California (USC). They were subsequently charged with mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery.

According to TMZ, the "When Calls the Heart" star has now "quietly" listed the Bel-Air mansion that she shares with her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. Per the outlet, the two are hoping to get $28,650,000 for the estate. Sources have stated that Giannulli's love of architecture is behind the decision to list the expensive property.

This development comes after a projected court date was announced for both Loughlin and Giannulli. As reported by Fox Business, federal prosecutors have proposed that the two head to trial in Oct. 2020. Furthermore, it was stated that prosecutors requested that the 15 defendants be broken up into two groups for their alleged part in the admissions scam.

Aside from placing her expensive property on the market, Loughlin has reportedly been taking other steps ahead of her future trial. After developing a new "concern" about her potential sentence following a judge's harsh remarks, the TV personality allegedly started taking "grueling" steps in order to prepare for the future.

As for her defense, some have said her legal team would be "smart" to do something specific as she prepares for her "inevitable" future. Meanwhile, others have advised her to face the "consequences."

At this time, both Loughlin and Giannulli have pleaded not guilty, and are said to believe that they are in possession of a "secret weapon" to prove their innocence. However, some believe she could serve "hard time" if she does not take certain steps before her upcoming trial.
