Savannah Chrisley recently revealed that her mother, Julie Chrisley, was upset about not being granted early release from prison. Julie, who is serving time for her involvement in financial crimes, had hoped for a reduction in her sentence but was disappointed to learn that she would have to continue serving her full term. Savannah described her mother’s frustration and sadness over this development, noting that it has been a difficult time for the entire family. Despite these challenges, Savannah remains focused on supporting her mother and keeping their family strong.

Savannah Chrisley recently revealed how her parents felt after they heard the appeal. Julie and Todd Chrisley are in federal prison for fraud and tax evasion. It has taken a toll on their children. Savannah has taken in her younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe. She has also been advocating for her parents as much as she can. However, they just had an appeal hearing and gave their opinions after hearing it from their prison cells.

Appeal Hearing Arguments

During the appeal hearing there were arguments for both sides.

“First, the issue that was discussed that came out in the redirect and then the re-cross of Officer Betty Carter was whether the Chrisleys had paid taxes in the post-conspiracy period, now, the district court below confirmed that that would have a potential prejudicial effect on the defendants leading the jury to believe that they had not paid their taxes, that they weren’t interested in paying taxes, that they were untruth type of person who could commit fraud charged in the other acts. That effect spills over not just to the tax charges but to all of the fraud charges in this case.”

However, the arguing team did fight back.

“the evidence was overwhelming at trial that the Chrisleys had taken a number of steps to evade the IRS and they conspired to evade the IRS. So yes, if there are credible allegations and some evidence proffered about any sort of government misconduct a hearing should be had. That’s simply not what we have in this case,”

Savannah Chrisley Reveals How They Are Feeling

Savannah Chrisley revealed how her parents felt after the hearing.

“They listened in on the appeal, they listened to the arguments and now they’re back, just sitting there and hoping for change, hoping for something different, hoping for a different outcome,”

All they can do is hope and stay positive during this time. However, it does not seem like they will be out anytime soon.

It seems they are in a waiting game. Todd and Julie Chrisley are trying and waiting to get out of prison. Savannah is trying her best to bring light to their case and get them out as well. Their son, Grayson, has been struggling with his parents missing out on his senior year of high school. The Chrisleys are trying their best to stay positive throughout this journey.

Julie Chrisley was incorrectly sentenced for losses that she was accused of. That is the news that Chrisley Knows Best fans heard after Savannah Chrisley updated on the outcome of the oral appeal for Todd Chrisley and his wife. The news arrived on Friday, June 21. So, she will be remanded back to the district court for an amendment to her sentence and possibly to her record.

Julie Chrisley Will Likely Go Home Sooner Rather Than Later

Many people believe that Todd Chrisley and his wife are innocent. Meanwhile, even those who don’t like them seemed a bit taken aback at the length of the sentences. The news about the appeal court is good news. Recall, the mom of Savannah Chrisley ended up being charged with more offenses than her husband. Between them, they currently served their original sentence of a combined 19 years.

Julie Chrisley’s sentence had been “vacated,” per Channel 2. The article cited court documents as saying:

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. 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.

Julie Chrisley served over a year in a Kentucky facility, and according to her daughter, prison conditions are not good. At one stage, Savannah mentioned that poison snakes had access to the prison. Strip searches were also alleged to have happened. Even with two years shaved off her original seven-year sentence, staying behind bars for a long time seemed shocking. Especially, as she raised minor children, Chloe and Grayson.

What Does It Mean To ‘Vacate’ A Sentence?

According to Angus Lee Law Firm, when a court “vacates” a sentence, it means that a person might have been incorrectly sentenced. In Julie’s case, it seems that the court sentenced her harshly without the appeal judges being able to find the evidence to back up her sentence. Notably, a person can be retried but it usually leads to reduced time or an expunging of the record.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that Savannah Chrisley’s mom gets to go home this week. The appeals court referred the case back to the district court. Originally, AP reported that Todd and Julie were found “guilty of conspiring to defraud the IRS and tax evasion, and Julie Chrisley was convicted of wire fraud and obstruction of justice.” But, it seems she will likely get home a lot sooner than previously thought.

On Instagram, Savannah Chrisley told Chrisley Knows Best fans:

…the appeals court could not find any evidence that attributed this $17 million loss amount to my mother. And for that I am grateful and I hope and pray that the judge can send her home. I am a firm believer that she will be coming home sooner rather than later…
