Joe faces 47 months in prison, while Teresa could do 27 months. Joe also faces the possibility of being deported to Italy, as he is not an American citizen.

Reports claim that Teresa asked the judge to give her house arrest or community service, as opposed to jail so that she could care for her four daughters.

“Teresa tried to keep everything as normal as possible for the family leading up to the sentencing,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “She tried to not cry in front of her four daughters, but she couldn’t help but shed a few tears. It’s not lost on Teresa that Wednesday could have been her final day of freedom for a very long time. And Joe knows the judge is likely to throw the book at him, and sentence him to at least three years in prison, too.”
