NEWARK –At this morning's sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court, the judge criticized "inconsistencies and omissions" in the financial disclosure forms filed by "Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast members Joe and Teresa Giudice. She said the inconsistencies make it hard for her to be lenient.
Judge Esther Salas expressed frustration with the couple because she said they have assets that weren't declared in their financial disclosure forms.
The judge also questioned why the couple declared only $25,000 worth of items in their home, even though their insurance policy is worth $1 million.
In 2009 bankruptcy filings, the couple showed $60,000 in assets in their home, the judge said.
"They had an obligation to be transparent and candid and open with the court and I don't think I got that," Salas said. "I want to understand the disconnect."
