More Details On Julie Chrisley’s Overturned Prison Sentence

According to E! News, a “three-judge panel” from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Chrisley’s prison sentence on Friday, June 21. The panel reportedly determined that the judge who convicted Chrisley of bank fraud and tax evasion “miscalculated” her sentence.

Furthermore, the panel reportedly concluded there was “insufficient evidence” proving Chrisley’s involvement in the “entirety of the bank fraud scheme.” The outlet reports that the alleged scheme began to unfold in 2006.

“The district court did not identify the evidence it relied on to hold Julie accountable for losses incurred before 2007, and we cannot independently find it in the record,” the judges’ ruling reportedly stated.

Despite their conclusions, the judges have reportedly upheld Chrisley’s conviction and have ordered for her to be resentenced.

“So we vacate Julie’s sentence and remand solely for the district court to make the factual findings and calculations necessary to determine loss, restitution, and forfeiture as to Julie and to resentence her accordingly,” the ruling reportedly added.

The outlet adds that Chrisley’s case will be given to a “lower court to determine how her sentencing will be adjusted.”

Savannah Chrisley Speaks Out After Her Mother’s Ruling

Over the weekend, Julie and Todd’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley, spoke out about the ruling in a video shared on Instagram.

Savannah explained that she was grateful for the appellate court’s decision. Additionally, she said that she feels her mother will be home “sooner rather than later.”

“And I hope and pray that the judge can send her home,” she added. “Um, right now, if we won nothing on appeal, she would be home in 2026. So I am a firm believer that she will be coming home sooner rather than later.”

Furthermore, Savannah explained why her parents’ case should “scare” the public. Then, before concluding the video, she also shared that she has some “ideas” for getting her father home.

Will Julie’s Appellate Ruling Affect Her Husband, Todd?

Meanwhile, E! News adds that the update in Julie Chrisley’s case apparently won’t affect her husband Todd. In September, the outlet reported that Todd’s 12-year prison sentence was reduced to 10 years.

Now, with Julie’s successful appeal, the family’s lawyer, Alex Little, has shared an update on Todd.

“We’re pleased that the Court agreed that Julie’s sentence was improper, but we’re obviously disappointed that it rejected Todd’s appeal,” Little told PEOPLE. “With this step behind us, we can now challenge the couple’s convictions based on the illegal search that started the case. The family appreciates the continued support they’ve received throughout this process. And they’re hopeful for more good news in the future.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, Todd and Julie Chrisley were both found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud in June 2022. In January of the following year, they each reported to separate prison facilities to begin serving their respective sentences.

Fox News reports that the couple will serve 16 months of probation upon their release from prison.
