Julie Chrisley Shock as Judge Orders Her to Appear in Court for Resentencing
Despite Julie Chrisley‘s request to appear remotely for her resentencing court date next month, a federal court judge has ordered the locked-up reality star to appear in person at the hearing.
As reported by WSB-TV, a judge has denied Julie’s request to attend the hearing via Zoom call. Last week, the Chrisley Knows Best star’s attorney, Alex Little, filed court documents stating that his client having to travel from FMC Lexington in Kentucky to Atlanta, Georgia, would “impose undue physical hardship on her.”
“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,” Little said.
He continued, “Either option would remove Mrs. Chrisley from FMC Lexington for an unnecessarily extended period of time and impose undue physical hardship on her.”
“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,” Little added in the document. “In this manner, Mrs. Chrisley can participate in the proceedings fully.”
Her court date is scheduled for September 25, 2024, at 10 am in Atlanta, and she will have to appear in person just like a regular inmate.
Julie is currently serving a seven-year federal prison sentence at FMC Lexington after she and her husband, Todd Chrisley, were convicted in 2022 for bank fraud and tax evasion.
In June, an appeals court heard arguments for why the Chrisleys should have their sentences reduced. The court accepted Julie’s appeal after a three-judge panel found there was insufficient evidence that Julie was involved with her husband‘s bank fraud scheme since its conception in 2006. However, Todd’s conviction was upheld, and he will continue his 10-year sentence at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola.

BOTH of these criminals should stay in jail!! They are scam, artists and frauds. I cannot believe some of the comments on this page of sympathy! I hope to hell someone breaks into their account or scams them, and they lose everything just for being on the side of the Chrisley’s! That otta wake up some of these stupid people who think they should not be in jail 🤦🏻♀️

She needs to go to the hearing like the judge has told her to do. If she is lucky, the judge will give her time served.

Apparently she didn’t do the crime or they wouldn’t have thrown out her sentencing. They could not find any evidence that she had anything to do with it.

I totally agree with your comment. I feel the exact same way. She just might get time served. I'm praying that she gets to walk out free.

Did her husband ever say she wasn't involved? This is an honest question. I didn't really follow the case so I don't know. It seemed like they railroaded. Yes, serious crimes but I've seen worse cases where the people walked.

Seems they have evidence that she was NOT completely involved in all the crimes And she is there doing her time - Murderer's get off with way less time than they did for some bank fraud . Banks rip us all off everyday some way or another I'm sure .....SEND HER HOME TO HER CHILDREN ..

She is a regular criminal nothing special. Shouldn’t get specia treatment just because she was television show! She committed a crime how could she not know what her husband was up to? Doubt seriously she didn’t know anything at all. She had to know something! IMO.

It isn't like she won't show up. She is in the custody of the bureau of prisons and they are required to transfer her and make sure gets there on time.

This is what I think . I feel that she has done plenty of time . And should be let to stay home . As a woman and a mother she should get to stay at home . And a serving
Breast cancer 🎀. Trump has done far worse and needs to also serve his time . He has not served us in the write aspect. And I think he's human just as she is . And he is still running for a office that should be closed to him. And nit for given . If pepole can't for give her. For less. Thank you

First of all the punishment did fit the crime for both of them! Everybody was up in arms about Trump and wanting 96 years! Why the hell shouldn’t they get some good time behind bars to think about all the fraud and scam that they did! And stupid people still wanna watch on TV… Jesus I can’t believe how dumb people are!! And by the way… they’re NOT CHILDREN…grown ADULTS

Judge prob wants to see if she’s willing to do a back door deal with him in his quarters .

I think they are going to release her to go home as time served. thats why they are bringing her back to atlanta. Why use taxpayers money, to transport back to atlanta just to tell her that her sentence has been reduced. She probably have served enough time to cover what she would have been sentenced for if they had not charged her with the bank fraud. Im am praying for her, because I really like Todd and Julie and those kids need their mother.
