Josh Duggar’s appeal in his child pornography case has been thrown out by the court, according to The Sun. The former 19 Kids and Counting star, 35, received an official order from the court terminating the appeal on Thursday, October 5. The appellate court had notified the lower court of the final decision in the case.
The Court of Appeals issued a mandate terminating Josh’s case, as his lawyers had tried to request a new trial. “Upon issuance of the mandate, the jurisdiction of the court of appeals over the case terminates, and the district court acquires jurisdiction to implement the mandate,” the appellate court states. The decision comes as Josh is in the middle of serving 12 and a half years in prison. He was given the sentence in May 2022, after he was found guilty the prior December.
This is a developing story.
