Real Housewives Of New Jersey WIll be missing Teresa Giudice trial as the court case of the century gets pushed back to April 2014.  Real Housewives Of New Jersey producers are livid because they were counting on the fraud trial to be reality gold for Bravo. Rating were expected to go through the roof watching Teresa in court.

 Bravo missing the trial is a peal pity. Teresa and Joe Giudice will only be filmed on Housewives sulking or trying to 'remain positive,' making for much less interesting TV. The trial was originally schedualed for February 2014, which was carefully factored into the dates that Jersey Housewives would film. The trial would have beeen so exciting to watch, as viewers could tune into Teresa and her hubby's scary ordeal and all of her courtroom drama. Bravo counted on the trial for the highest ratings yet for the franchise as their cameras were all set to follow the Giudice couple, accused of a whopping 41 counts of fraud.

Misssing the trial isn't the first bump in the road for New Jersey Housewives producers. According to RadarOnilne, the show started filimg late because "the producers just could not get everything together so quickly. They wanted to make sure they are able to get all of the women for the Christmas holiday and they want Teresa's court drama included but they just didn't move very fast and so production was delayed for a while." 

Viewers are interested to watch the Giudices before and during her trial. They want to see how they deal with the stress and the family, and are curious how the trial progresses and concludes. 

In case you didn't know, Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice are facing a multitude of very serious charges which can result in a 50 year prison sentence each.

Below is a summary of their previous charges:

1) Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud: The indictment states that between 2001-2008, using the U.S. mail, private carriers and wire communications, they defrauded 7 different banks and mortgage lenders.

2) Bank Fraud: The indictment states 5 banks were defrauded by submitting applications with false tax returns, pay stubs, and W-2s that gave false salaries and income. In total they stole $4.5 million from various banks.

3) Loan Application Fraud: For making false statements in those bank loan applications

4) Bankruptcy Fraud: Concealment, False Oaths, False Declarations. These are 22 different counts alone. In essence, they lied to the BK courts (under oath) about their finances and they knowingly filed false documents to conceal their income. That's perjury. Tre & Joe never withdrew their bankruptcy, the courts denied their petition on suspicion of fraud.

5) Failure to Make Tax Returns: These counts are all against Joe, and claim he didn't file tax returns from 2004-2008.

Joe Giudice, whose real first name is Giuseppe, is an Italian citizen. Thus, he could face deportation if he is convicted.

Joe Giudice, 43, was released on a $500,000 bond secured by his father, Frank. Teresa Giudice, 41, was released on a $500,000 unsecured bond.

The duo also had their travel restricted to New Jersey and New York and had to surrender their passports.

The pattern of alleged fraud may have lasted a decade," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said.

"They're serious charges," he said.

 "They are alleged to have made false statements to the bankruptcy court and the banks that lent them money," Fishman told press.

In a statement, Teresa Giudice discussed the charges.

"I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me," she said. "I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the government as quickly as possible."

Are you disappointed that the trial won't air on 'Housewives?'
