Prosecutors announced Thursday that "Full House" actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Gianulli, have decided to plead guilty to conspiracy charges for paying a $500,000 bribe to a recruiter at the University of Southern California to get their less than brilliant daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose into the school as rowing team recruits.
Loughlin, 55, will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud, while Giannulli, 56, will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud.
Under their plea agreements, Loughlin will merely serve two months in prison, and 100 hours of community service and pay a $150,000 fine. Her husband will serve five months in prison, pay a $250,000 and perform 250 hours of community service. He will also serve Bubba from Cell Block "B" as his handmaiden.
Both sentences are subject to a judge’s approval.`
“Under the plea agreements filed today, these defendants will serve prison terms reflecting their respective roles in a conspiracy to corrupt the college admissions process and which are consistent with prior sentences in this case. We will continue to pursue accountability for undermining the integrity of college admissions,” said US Attorney Andrew E. Lelling, who thankfully does not suffer from lambdacism.
At first, Loughlin and Giannulli vowed to fight the charges, claiming they believed the money was a legitimate donation to admitted college fixer Rick Singer. Yeah, sure it was.
The couple’s change of heart comes after a federal judge refused to dismiss the charges against them and evidently Lelling advised them to cop a plea.

There are two dozen parents, college officials and coaches who have also pleaded guilty in the far-reaching college admissions scandal that unfolded last year.
They will enter their guilty pleas at a later date and be issued their "college" blaze orange jump suits soon thereafter.
