Lori Loughlin smiled for photos and signed autographs in Boston before federal court date

Lori Loughlin was apparently doing her best to remain — or at least appear — chipper after her private plane arrived at Boston’s Logan Airport on Tuesday, April 2, ahead of her Wednesday hearing. According to People, the star was “chatty” and friendly as she greeted fans who wanted autographs in spite of the not-so-happy reason for her visit to the city. Lori and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are facing charges they bribed USC officials to let their daughters in as rowing recruits despite the girls’ lack of rowing experience. Felicity Huffman and dozens of other parents are facing similar charges in the widespread college admissions scandal. One of the fans she posed for photos with, the owner of a memorabilia company, suggested Lori might be happy knowing she’s less recognizable in Boston than in Los Angeles. Like her fans, Lori’s “Fuller House” costars appear to be ready to stand by her. The court may not be so supportive. On Wednesday, TMZ reported law enforcement officials told them prosecutors were expected to recommend jail time for Lori, her husband and Felicity, among others implicated in the scandal.
