Lori Loughlin Is Reportedly 'Confident' She'll Avoid Jail

“The more that [the attorneys] look at the alleged evidence against them, the better they feel about the case,” the insider said. “Everyone is feeling more and more confident that this could end well for them.”

That's saying a lot, considering that Lori's freedom is at stake here. Both of the charges Lori and Mossimo are facing come with a max 20-year sentence each, so in the absolute worst case, they could be looking at 40 years each. Will that happen? Maybe not, but getting locked up is a definite possibility, so if the attorneys believe that they have a shot, we could see this whole thing turn around. 

“A trial drags things out and she would like to move forward, which she can’t do until it goes to trial," the insider said. "But still, she feels like she’s got a valid defense, and that when all the evidence comes out, that she won’t be found guilty.”

That's bold to assume, considering everything we've heard about this scandal so far. But stranger things have happened.

"She feels like once all the evidence is presented, that people will understand how things happened," a source told People about Lori's hopes for a trial at the time. "She doesn't want to spend time in jail ... but she knows that any sort of plea or conviction at this point will include jail time. Her only chance of avoiding jail is to go to court and be found not guilty."

Given that this scandal has cost Lori her Hallmark Channel gigs and lost her a lot of fans, it's going to take a lot to change fans' opinions of her. Can a trial do all of that?

No jail time? Forty years? Somewhere in between? Only time will tell.
