JOSH'S LEGAL TROUBLES
Josh was arrested and charged with possessing and receiving child pornography in April 2021.
He was found guilty after a nearly two-week trial in Arkansas.
Josh was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison in May and was transferred to FCI Seagoville in June 2022.
Josh's legal team filed an appeal to overturn the conviction and have a new trial in October 2022.
In one of the arguments, his attorneys claimed federal agents allegedly seized Josh's phone when he tried to contact his lawyer during a raid at his car lot a year and a half before the arrest.
The court papers claim he spoke to the agents without counsel present.
Josh will have more Thanksgiving meals behind bars, as the appeal was denied in November 2023.
The Supreme Court then officially denied the conviction appeal in 2024.
