Anna Duggar and Michelle Duggar wrote letters to the judge
Sentencing dominates the current Josh Duggar news. But Anna Duggar and Michelle Duggar vouched for his character in letters to the judge prior to the sentencing date. The detailed letters from Anna and Michelle in the sentencing memorandum show them talking about what a fantastic man Josh has become over the years. According to them, he provides well for his family and cares deeply for his kids. Anna even calls Josh “genuinely the kindest person” she knows.
“During our first few years of marriage, Joshua and I enjoyed working together at our used car lot in Springdale,” Anna wrote in a letter to the judge. “There, I admired my husband’s diligence in his work and also his perspective — that people are more important than a quick sale. Joshua would often spend hours out of his day chatting with and listening to various homeless people who would pass by on the sidewalk. And many of our customers also became our friends.”
In Michelle’s letter, she calls Josh “tender-hearted” and hopes for a quick release from prison.

The prosecution then states that “his supportive family and public-facing and privileged lifestyle” make his criminal behavior “all the more baffling.”
