15 parents, who are facing charges related to the college admissions scandal, could be split into 3 separate trials, a judge said Friday.
They have pleaded not guilty to fraud, bribery and money laundering conspiracy charges for allegedly paying $500,000 to fixer Rick Singer and a University of Southern California athletic department official to get their two daughters Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade special admission as elite crew recruits even though they've never played that sport.
In court filings from earlier this week, prosecutors revealed emails, that the government believes, show that Loughlin and Giannulli turned down a"legitimate" offer from USC to flag their daughter's application. The family were donors to USC and a fundraising officer offered in 2016 to flag Isabella's application and arrange for"a 1:1 opportunity for her, customized tour of campus for the family, and/or classroom visit.”The fashion designer then forwarded that email exchange to Loughlin, adding: “The nicest I’ve been at blowing off somebody.”
The government believes that'll show that Giannulli and Loughlin rejected normal school-donation methods to curry favor with USC, knowing they had Singer's backdoor operation ready to roll.
