Exclusive news: Despite being in prison for a year. Todd and Julie still force Savannah Chrisley to repay the debts they defrauded

As part of their conviction, Savannah Chrisley’s parents were ordered to pay more than $17 million in restitution.

As Tv Shows Ace has previously reported, a member of Todd and Julie’s legal team stated at an earlier time that the couple had no plans of paying the restitution. When this statement was made, it wasn’t made because Todd and Julie were planning to skip the bill. The argument was that Todd and Julie Chrisley claim to be innocent and are appealing their current situation. Paying restitution for a crime they do not believe they are guilty of was viewed to be counterproductive.

It, however, sounds as though their daughter Savannah has a different idea.

Savannah Chrisley Paying Off Todd & Julie’s Debts?

As Tv Shows Ace previously reported, Savannah and Chase Chrisley spilled the beans during a recent episode of her podcast that there was a new legal team stepping in to represent Todd and Julie. The siblings revealed the first thing the legal team told them was that they were “screwed” from the very beginning of this trial. Savannah and Chase Chrisley now have high hopes the new legal team will push through a successful appeal process and get their parents the justice they claim they were robbed of before.

Sitting down with ET, Todd and Julie’s new lawyer Jay Surgent of Weiner Law Group has nothing but good things to say about Savannah. He notes she is a smart and creative young woman. And, he believes she is going to have no trouble using the talents she has to make all of the money she needs.

Their lawyer proceeded to clarify that as Todd and Julie’s child, Savannah Chrisley has no obligation to pay off any of their debts including that $17 million restitution bill. Savannah, however, has expressed an interest to the lawyer in doing what she can to help pay off the bill.

Jay Surgent of Weiner Law Group made it a point to double down on the fact that there was no legal obligation for Savannah to pay her parent’s legal debts. But, she had just decided it was something she wanted to do.

Chrisley Knows Best Fans Have Mixed Feelings

As Tv Shows Ace previously reported, Chrisley Knows Best fans aren’t exactly happy with Savannah Chrisley right now. They think Savannah and the entire family are acting entitled about the whole situation. Fans point out that the facilities Todd and Julie Chrisley are staying in have likely had poor living conditions for a while. And, it is hypocritical for the family to only care about fixing the problem now that it is an issue for them.
