LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Hollywood actress Jodie Foster's 89-year-old father, Lucius Fisher Foster, says his trial for an alleged housing scam is going "lousy" but he remains hopeful.
The real-estate broker is facing up to 20 years in prison for allegedly bilking more than two dozen investors out of $130,000 in Los Angeles. He has been charged with 25 counts of grand theft and 10 counts of contracting without a license.
