As a movie reviewer with a background in law and a deep appreciation for reality TV, I’m thrilled to share my take on the latest development in the ongoing saga of the Chrisley family.
Things are looking up for “Chrisley Knows Best” mom Julie Chrisley.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta announced on Friday that it intends to overturn reality star Julie Chrisley’s current prison sentence for tax evasion. As reported by local news station WSBTV from court records, the lower court determined that it failed to specify which evidence was used to convict Julie for years of fraud, involving her husband Todd Chrisley and their accountant Peter Tarantino, which began in 2007.
“We cannot independently find it in the record,” the court document says.
The appeals court has decided to send Julie’s case back to the lower court so they can make the required factual determinations and calculations to decide on her loss, restitution, and forfeiture amounts for her new sentence. Currently, Julie is serving her prison term at a facility in Lexington, Kentucky.
In June 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud. Todd, aged 56, was initially given a sentence of 12 years in Florida’s Federal Prison Camp Pensacola. Julie received an initial sentence of seven years. However, they both received sentence reductions last year: Todd is now expected to be released approximately two years prior to the originally scheduled release date, and Julie will be freed 14 months earlier than planned.
On Friday, the appellate court handed down a win for the Chrisley clan, who have been diligently preparing an appeal against their celebrities’ convictions and jail terms since the end of last year with the assistance of their legal team.
Attorney Jay Surgent, representing Julie and Todd, expressed satisfaction with the ruling in an email to The Times on Monday. He mentioned that Julie could potentially be granted early release as an added benefit. Although displeased that the appeals court declined to send Todd’s case back for reconsideration, Surgent remains optimistic about potential further appeal opportunities.
“We also have other legal maneuvers that will be implemented on Todd’s behalf,” Surgent said.
Savannah Chrisley, the eldest daughter, announced on Instagram over the weekend that her mother’s appeal didn’t turn out exactly as they had planned, but there was still a small victory to be found.
“Savannah expressed her gratitude and fervently hoped and wished for the judge to release her mother soon. She was certain her mother’s return would happen before long.”
Later in her video, she added: “I have some other ideas up my sleeve to get dad home.”
