Savannah Chrisley Slams Judge After Mom Julie’s Resentencing Verdict
Savannah Chrisley has slammed the court’s decision as an “injustice” after a judge upheld Julie Chrisley‘s original seven-year prison sentence on Wednesday, September 25.
Julie attended the federal courthouse in downtown Atlanta on Wednesday, where the judge refused to reduce her time in prison. The reality star’s eldest children, Savannah and Chase Chrisley, were present for the hearing.
In a video obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Savannah and Chase appeared alongside their family’s attorney, Alex Little, after the hearing to field questions from the press.
“This is 100 percent [an] injustice,” Savannah said of the court’s decision. “What has happened is an injustice. I will continue to fight for my parents. And I will be as loud as I can possibly be because the judge clearly showed today that she was using my outspokenness to change a system that is so broken.”
Julie has been serving a seven-year federal prison sentence after she and her husband, Todd Chrisley, were convicted in 2022 for bank fraud and tax evasion. In June, an appeals court accepted Julie’s appeal, leading to her court appearance on Wednesday.
Savannah continued to blast the judge’s decision, saying, “I would love to know what steps she has taken to verify or maybe see if the information is accurate… This judge has not done her research when it comes to the conditions [of the prisons my parents are in].”
The Unlocked podcast host has previously spoken out about the prison system, claiming “corrupt” guards have been making life hell for her parents. She has also complained about the prison conditions, alleging there is “no air conditioning” and that “poisonous snakes” are just “casually slithering on the floor” in her mother’s cell.
Savannah told the press that she will continue to advocate for prison reform, “not just for my parents” but for the “thousands of other individuals who are incarcerated.”
“I’m very disappointed, I’m very disappointed,” she added before noting that her family is “moving forward with appealing this sentence and that will happen within the next 14 days.”
Julie’s attorney also slammed the decision, telling the press, “I think when you just talk about public confidence in the courts, it’s a concerning result. I think we’re also incredibly disappointed by the personal attacks on family members; that’s just uncalled for.”

So do we have a two tiered system here?, why does Trump and others associated to him get far less time in jail/ prison/ home confinement basically doing the same crime, fraud? It should be the same for all people regardless of wealth and status, ridiculous.

Trump didn't commit fraud! Democratic judges and prosecutors made up bogus crimes! The real misdemeanor crimes were changed to felonies to try and prevent him from being President! You're comparing apples to oranges! But we do have a 2 tiered system!

So should people that are targets of those in power have the legal system manipulate the laws to fit the situation? No, I agree that the system is broken because it is influenced by those who have the power to threaten others to do their bidding.

Those people don't go to a federal prison they're in state prisons which aren't as cushy as the federal ones! Yet if it was you that they robbed of money would you want them out? Doubt that.

They are charged with tax evasion and bank fraud. Everyone is complaining that they did not pay their taxes so the government did not have the funds mandated to them to provide for our communities. However, would one agree that paying for Mrs.Chrisley's transfer and security during the past two weeks period where she was no longer in custody with the Bureau of Prisons but instead with the U.S. Marshalls service would also be a waste of allocated funds for this giant waste of time simply to have the same sentence upheld. Please, wish someone, also, could explain why the original sentence was upheld after it recently was overturned by a higher court.
This whole mess is just a big circus that only started bc someone found Todd Chrisley to be obnoxiously arrogant on TV and started looking for a way to knock him down a few pegs.

So because we have to transfer criminals like them ,who do multiple crimes in multiple locations, we shouldn't convict any of them ?..you sound silly

It is your taxpayer money. It could all have been handled on zoom with no charge to the taxpayers.
-
O
Lol they asked for video conference which would have left her there but courts demanded she go and then forced her to be handcuffed thru whole process so yes waste of taxpayer's money to keep it the same when just as easy did it without all the cost. Remember most prisons have video conference capabilities already so why are we allowing government to waste money like that. Why isn't norm to do video unless absolutely needed in court hmmm

I'm so furious over this!!! It's just ridiculous! What waste of time to say nope you deserve the original sentence after it had already been proven to be an overzealous sentence. This is all over money. It's not like they hurt anyone. Pedo monsters get less time and better living conditions

They stole 30 million dollars dummy! They're basically bank robbers yet oh they didn't do anything bad? So everyone who has robbed banks should be freed as well if they get out? Or is it different if you're portraying that your millionaires even when your not?

Of course Savannah is upset, she very much misses her parents and wishes they were home. She says that the judge probably didn't review basically the prison standards and the problems being below standard. It's prison! Also to be granted an appeal, and get the same exact sentence, some guilt had to be proven.Was it worth it?

Perhaps you don't realize this but Prisoners and lawyer ask for Zoom visits all the time without suffering consequences of an idiot judge that's getting ready to sentence her again from a higher court! This is nothing more than a power play until they reach the most powerful courts!

Funny how the white and privileged believe they should get away with their crimes and/or just given a slap on the wrist. Why? Because since the beginning of corrupt government, they’ve gone free with no consequences. Look at Chump. A corrupt felon allowed to run for the highest office - where other felons aren’t allowed to vote! Savannah, Go ask your buddy Chump to help out since you vowed your allegiance to that CLOWN over country! Let’s see how that works out!

Federal sentences do not have parole. Also, they were judged by 12 jurors. Neither of them have accepted responsibility for their crimes. I watched their series. They actually gave themselves away. Flaunting your wealth, while stealing, is an FBI agents dream. I know. They actually convicted themselves.

Daughter needs to keep her mouth shut cause she will only end up making it worse. She should be smart enough to realize courts are seeing what we r. As some have said here, don't do the crime etc. When u flaunt too much, you're hiding something.

Savannah, Your parents are not criminals! They are paying the price because whom they believed in and trusted is the criminal. Your family may never hear or see it but karma strikes everyone. I loved watching Chrisley Knows Best. Just watching the show anyone can see the love your parents have for you and all three of your siblings. They would not do something fraudulent knowing they would be separated. Plus Todd is too into his kids business. I saw you from a distance while in Auburn. Figured you wanted a normal day so I didn’t approach. War Eagle!
