It's been over a year since Lori, Mossimo, and were charged in the massive nationwide college admissions cheating scandal.

Back in March 2019, Lori and her husband paid $500,000 in bribes to to get their daughters, , recruited to the University of Southern California crew team so that they could get into the college. Both Olivia and Bella have since left U.S.C., according to .

Related StoriesIn response to the charges, Lori and Mossimo pleaded not guilty and rejected a plea deal, because it included jail time. Shortly after, they were also given additional charges of money laundering and conspiracy, which, if convicted, could mean up to 40 years behind bars for the couple.

Then, in October, Lori and Mossimo were slapped with an additional bribery claim from the office of the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. The new charge could potentially add another decade onto their prison sentence if the couple is found guilty, according to .

A grand jury in Boston alleged that the couple and nine other parents committed federal program bribery by "bribing the employees of U.S.C. to facilitate their children's admission."

“In exchange for the bribes, employees of the university allegedly designated the defendants’ children as athletic recruits, with little or no regard for their athletic abilities, or as members of other favored admissions categories,” stated.

In November, the couple decided to challenge the expanded charges, meaning lawyers for Lori and Mossimo entered not guilty pleas on their behalf, according to .

Lori and Mossimo's defense attorneys have continued to argue that the couple believed the money they were giving William was going to legitimate donations to the university, not outright bribery.

A month later, lawyers representing the couple claimed that federal prosecutors were concealing evidence related to the scandal, reported. Specifically, a December filing alleged that prosecutors refused to turn over exculpatory evidence that that Lori and Mossimo were giving their payments to William and the U.S.C. athletic department to be used for "legitimate, university-approved purposes — or to other legitimate charitable causes." The U.S. attorney's office in Massachusetts declined to speak to the outlet on the matter.

In mid-February, Lori and Mossimo's attorney Sean Berkowitz tried to get their trial date pushed back to February 2021 (though federal prosecutors want it to begin in October of this year). The lawyer argued that they would not be ready to go to trial until next year because of substantial evidence and the "general complexity of the case," according to documents obtained by . Of course, the judge will be the one who ultimately decides when the trial will begin.

But shortly after, the couple's legal team filed a motion to postpone setting a trial date altogether, per . The defense attorneys stated that "the government was trying to benefit from withholding information" while working to "force trial as quickly as it can." The information in question included iPhone notes that William recorded in October 2018 during the "discovery process." Lori and Mossimo's lawyers argued that the government should have notified them about the notes.

Specifically, the pair's legal team asked the judge to dismiss the case altogether, citing notes where William said investigators instructed him to "bend the truth" and "tell a fib" in order to "retrieve responses that are not accurate," according to .

The attorneys' documents further claim that agents used this tactic because other evidence showed that the defendants "believed their payments were legitimate donations." The judge responded by saying the allegations in William's notes were and has asked prosecutors for an explanation. The judge, however, to have their case dismissed.

While all of this has been going on, Lori and Mossimo have avoided making notable public appearances. They were last seen on August 27 while at the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse in Boston, Massachusetts, for a hearing.
