“I think ultimately that is reflective of how this case isn’t what anybody thinks it seemed on its face,” Romano’s attorney said of the mixed verdict. Sentencing is set for Jan. 19.
The once-prominent house flipper said his job was “bricks and sticks” and put the blame for the missing funds on a law firm. “It turns out, that celebrity was a curse,” said his attorney. “It put a target on him.”
Jurors on Tuesday heard from witnesses including Lindsey Passmore, the paralegal who has pleaded guilty to helping Josh Romano misappropriate funds and is cooperating with the prosecution in hopes of a lesser sentence.
