Josh Duggar<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s wife, Anna Duggar<\/strong><\/a>, helped her husband with his motion to vacate his sentence before it was ultimately denied by a judge.<\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly<\/em> on Tuesday, June 2, Josh, 38, exchanged drafts of his motion with Anna, 37, before its submittal due date. He would write the information out by hand or use a typewriter before sending the drafts to his spouse via mail.<\/p>\n

Anna transcribed her husband\u2019s physical copies on the computer. After typing up the documents, Anna sent copies of the paperwork back to Josh so he could sign them. She also pre-filled the date on the Certificate of Service as June 24, 2025, the day of its scheduled deadline.<\/p>\n

Despite Anna\u2019s assistance, the motion was ultimately denied by a judge, per the docs. The judge\u2019s decision came after determining that Josh filed the motion late. The document, due on June 24, 2025, was addressed to the US Attorney\u2019s Office and received by the court clerk nearly a month later, on July 29, 2025. The court received another copy the following month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAnna Duggar sent husband Josh Duggar a letter slamming the \u201cridiculousness\u201d of his prison sentence. \u201cI just can\u2019t even wrap my mind around this system of ours,\u201d the message, obtained by People on Tuesday, May 5, read. \u201c[W]hat purpose does it serve to put a citizen away for that long, especially for a crime that [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Josh argued that he should be protected by the prison mailbox rule, which gives inmates leniency on deadlines as long as the documents are \u201cdeposited in the institution\u2019s internal mailing system on or before the last day for filing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 19 Kids and Counting <\/em>alum claimed that after receiving the paperwork from Anna, he addressed two envelopes before the filing\u2019s deadline. Josh claimed he obtained stamps via another inmate. While preparing to send out the paperwork, Josh had an issue with the amount of postage but ultimately resolved the matter. He claims he mailed the proper paperwork by its required due date.<\/p>\n

According to the court, the document was postmarked after the date Josh alleges it was mailed.<\/p>\n

The judge found that Josh\u2019s testimony was \u201cnot credible,\u201d as he did not have Anna come in to formally and legally corroborate his claims.<\/p>\n
