Julie Chrisley’s Resentencing Looms: Will She Get a Reduced Sentence or More Time?

Julie Chrisley, star of “Chrisley Knows Best,” awaits resentencing on September 25, 2024. Fans are anxious, hoping for a lighter sentence, but fearing more prison time. In 2022, she and her husband, Todd, were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion. This led to their prison sentences. Yet, Julie’s situation changed when new evidence emerged, and her sentence was vacated.

What Led Up to Julie’s Resentencing?

Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty in May 2022, with Todd receiving a 12-year sentence and Julie a 7-year term. Both began their sentences in January 2023. By September 2023, Todd’s sentence was reduced to 10 years, and Julie’s by 14 months. However, it was later determined that there wasn’t enough evidence tying Julie to crimes before 2007, which led to her sentence being vacated. Julie’s new hearing is set for September 25 in Atlanta.

With her sentence vacated, speculation is rampant. Many, including her daughter Savannah Chrisley, hope for a greater reduction. Legal experts warn it could go either way. Reddit users discuss the possibility of Julie facing more time. One user stated, “They have pissed off the judge who gave her a substantially decreased [sentence] below the government’s suggestion,” hinting that her situation may worsen.

Could Julie Chrisley Face More Prison Time?

Julie Chrisley’s 84-month sentence was well below the 235-293 month range for her offenses. With her resentencing approaching, some fans are worried. They fear the court may be less lenient this time. “The judge can give her more time to meet the guidelines,” noted one observer on Reddit.

There is hope her sentence could be reduced. But, the new evidence doesn’t affect the $9.5 million in damages. So, a big reduction is unlikely. The next few days will reveal whether Julie will see a reduction or an increase in her time behind bars.

Julie Chrisley Transported to a Secret Location

Adding another layer of mystery, Julie Chrisley has been transferred out of Lexington, Kentucky, into the custody of the U.S. Marshals. The move has sparked speculation, but her lawyer, Jay Surgent, reassured the public that it’s standard procedure for public figures. “Julie was transferred out of Lexington, Kentucky. She’s scheduled to be in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 25,” Jay explained.

While her family is likely unaware of her specific location, it’s clear she’s on the move. This secrecy is designed to keep her safe until her appearance in court next week.

What Will Julie’s Resentencing Bring?

As the clock ticks down to Julie’s resentencing, fans and critics alike are holding their breath. The Chrisley family has been vocal in their optimism, hoping that Julie could be released as early as next year. However, with the judge holding the final say, anything could happen.
