What to Know
After everything that Josh Duggar put wife Anna through, he’s still asking her to do his bidding from prison… and for some reason, she’s still agreeing to do it. Apparently, Anna did a lot of the heavy lifting when it came to Josh recently filing a motion to vacate in another attempt to break out early, but despite the couple’s best efforts, yet again, it wasn’t successful. Seriously, is this woman ever going to draw the line with him?
Anna reportedly helped Josh draft the motion.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly revealed that Josh and Anna exchanged drafts of the motion he was planning to file as he worked on perfecting it, with Josh sending his wife handwritten notes along with information he wrote on a typewriter for her to then transcribe to a computer. Anna would send the typed up drafts to Josh so he could sign them.
Obviously, this is a lot of work for someone to do after her husband treated her the way Josh did, so this is basically proof that she really isn’t going anywhere.
Once the paperwork was signed, Josh borrowed stamps from another inmate and sent out the documents before the deadline — or so he says. His motion was due on June 24, 2025, but it wasn’t received by the court until July 29, and the fact that the documents showed up a month late meant that the prison mailbox rule, which gives inmates a bit of leeway on deadlines like these, simply did not apply to his situation.
The judge found Josh’s motion “not credible.”
Between Josh’s flimsy excuse and the fact that Anna didn’t appear in court to verify what he said about her involvement, a judge ultimately determined that Josh’s explanation was “not credible,” and the motion was thrown out.
“The Court can grant Mr. Duggar one coincidence,” said the judge. “Perhaps even two or three odd happenstances. But Mr. Duggar is asking the Court to believe something akin to a magic bullet theory — a sequential chain of events that defies common sense. Collectively, this chain of events — where Murphy’s law was lurking at every turn — is simply not credible.”
This is just the latest of Josh’s many attempts to get out of prison early, and at this point, it looks like he should focus more on getting comfortable where he is, because it seems like he’s there for the long haul.
Josh has since been transferred to a medical facility.
On May 29 — the same day that Josh’s motion was denied — he was transferred to FMC Fort Worth, the same medical center that Joe Exotic is currently calling home.
So far, there’s no word on why exactly Josh was transferred, but it wouldn’t be surprising if his denial had anything to do with it. Could it finally be hitting Josh that there’s no way out of this thing?
