Jodie Foster’s Father On Trial

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. Foster, who divorced Jodie’s mother before she was born, told “Inside Edition” he did not steal investors’ money and blamed the bad economy for the charges against him.
