Todd and Julie Chrisley’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley, is trying to manage her expectations as her parents face legal issues. On the August 13 episode of her Unlocked podcast, the 27-year-old star of Chrisley Knows Best discussed her emotional journey. She shared that she has had vivid dreams of her 51-year-old mother, Julie, coming home, which leave her confused in the morning.

Savannah admitted she is holding onto hope for a positive outcome but is also preparing for a negative result due to the family’s past legal troubles. “I prepare myself for the worst, and anything better than that is good news,” she said, trying to manage her expectations.

In 2019, Todd and Julie Chrisley, along with their accountant, were accused of embezzling $30 million and declaring bankruptcy to avoid repayment. Despite denying involvement, they were found guilty in 2022 on twelve counts.

Todd and Julie began serving their 19-year sentences in January 2023, but their sentences were reduced in September 2023. Todd, initially sentenced to twelve years, is now expected to be released in 2032.

In June, the family achieved a legal victory when Julie Chrisley’s seven-year tax evasion conviction was overturned. Federal judges ruled that her case lacked sufficient evidence. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the convictions of Julie, Todd, and their accountant Peter Tarantino but found that the trial judge had overestimated Julie’s penalties.

The ruling confirmed that Julie was liable for the bank fraud scheme starting in 2006 but found no proof of her involvement before 2007. Julie’s resentencing is scheduled for September 25.

Savannah Chrisley has openly shared her hopes for her mother Julie’s return home, expressing that it would greatly improve her life. On her podcast, she discussed her dream of Julie coming home and the positive impact it would have.

Despite the challenges posed by her parents’ imprisonment, Savannah remains determined to fight for justice and hold those involved accountable. In the August 13 podcast episode, she vowed to continue advocating for her family and navigating their difficult circumstances.

Reflecting on turning 27, Savannah acknowledged that her parents’ legal battles have become a new normal but remains hopeful for their return. She shared her goals for the year, including bringing her parents home and making meaningful change.

Savannah has been working with lawyers and other groups to launch initiatives she’s passionate about. She also expressed a desire for her 27th year to focus on personal growth and rebuilding, emphasizing the importance of giving herself grace and not feeling pressured to achieve everything at once.

Julie Chrisley does not want to attend her resentencing hearing. Fans were shocked when they heard this. This could be the biggest moment of her life. However, she does not want to attend in person. It has been revealed why she did not want to attend and what she is going to do instead of attending in person. Keep reading to find out more about the situation.

Chrisley’s Go To Prison

Todd and Julie Chrisley are currently in federal prison. This is for tax evasion and fraud. However, Julie may be able to get out earlier than she originally thought. This is due to them not having enough evidence to prove that she was involved. Savannah is hoping to have Julie home soon. Todd’s top priority is getting Julie home. He wants her to be with her family and be able to live her life. He would rather her get out first.

Julie Chrisley Does Not Want To Attend

Julie does not want to attend her court hearing. It is taking place in Atlanta. She is currently in Kentucky.

“Because Mrs. Chrisley is presently in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) outside the state of Georgia, BOP likely would transfer her via the transfer facility in Oklahoma City or place her in a van for a lengthy, multiple-hour trip while shackled to facilitate her appearance in court. Either option would remove Mrs. Chrisley from FMC Lexington for an unnecessarily extended period of time and impose undue physical hardship on her.”

The court then decided she could join via video call.

“Undersigned counsel has corresponded with Mrs. Chrisley’s case manager at FMC Lexington and confirmed that she can be made available to appear remotely for her hearing via video conference, in this manner, Mrs. Chrisley can participate in the proceedings fully.”

Julie will be attending over a video call from Kentucky. Fans are wishing her the best. This is an important time for her and her family.

It seems that Julie did not want to travel over 400 miles. However, fans do not blame her for not wanting to travel that far if she can attend online. She would have to be shackled in a prison van for hours on hours. Or she would have to go to a transfer facility. It seems like a lot of physical hardship that she does not need to endure if she can attend via video chat. What did you think about her not attending in person? Sound off in the comments below.
