Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to facilitate their daughters' admission to the University of Southern California.
Actor Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, decided to move forward with dual representation, despite concerns that it could be problematic for their defense.
In March, Loughlin and Giannulli were two of many parents indicted in the college admission scandal, also known by its FBI sting name,"Operation Varsity Blues." They were accused of paying $500,000 to foster the admittance of their two daughters, Bella and Olivia Jade, to the University of Southern California .
The firm created an"ethical wall" between attorneys and staff who worked on the USC case and those working with Loughlin and Giannulli that prohibited them from discussing either case with each other. The prosecution argued their having represented USC could hamper their defense. If they were to move forward with dual representation, the defendants' court filing noted their individual communications with Latham would not be privileged from each other.
