Lori Loughlin and her husband want to face trial in the nationwide college admissions scandal because they believe it is their best chance for redemption, according to a report.

“Lori feels like so much damage has been done publicly that the only way for her to counter it is to fight this case in court,” a source told People magazine about the 54-year-old “Full House” star.

“She feels like once all the evidence is presented, that people will understand how things happened,” the source added.

“She doesn’t want to spend time in jail,” the source told the mag, “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.”

Singer gained the girls’ admission by bribing coaches at the school to name them as bogus crew recruits, according to prosecutors — but the couple’s lawyers are arguing they had no clue what Singer was up to, according to sources.

They claim Loughlin and Giannulli weren’t trying to break the law — just trying to get their scions into the college by paying Singer as a “facilitator.”
