Former reality tv star , Julie Chrisley , was resentenced in Atlanta’s federal trial judge Wednesday to seven times in prison , on bank fraud and tax evasion fees.
Her child,  , Savannah Chrisley, said the new word is an inequity and will be appealed.
” That’s what you get from an Obama-appointed judge” , , Savannah Chrisley , said in court as her mother was being taken back into the custody of the , U. S. Marshals Service.
During the resentencing reading,  , Julie Chrisley, 51, apologized formally for the first time.
” I cannot ever repay my children for what they’ve had to go through, and for that I’m sorry” , , Julie Chrisley , said in court as two of her children, Savannah and , Chase Chrisley, watched. I’m sorry for what caused me to behave and become who I am today.
Julie Chrisley , was  , sentenced to seven years in prison in 2022 , after being , found guilty at trial , of bank fraud, wire fraud, tax evasion, plot to defraud , the United States, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and obstruction of justice. Her father,  , Todd Chrisley, was also found innocent of all the charges he faced and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
The Chrisleys allegedly frauded, mishandled, and hid their millions of dollars in income to avoid paying more than$ 500, 000 in federal taxes, according to the jury.
In June, the , Atlanta-based federal appeals court upheld both convictions but ruled that , Julie Chrisley , may become resentenced. The appellate court found sufficient evidence that , Julie Chrisley , had participated in the bank fraud scheme from 2007 to 2012, but said it was n’t clear that she was involved in the conspiracy when it began in 2006.
Julie Chrisley’s prosecutors asked U. S. District Judge , Eleanor L. Ross , to , impose a fresh sentence , of no more than five years in prison.  , Julie Chrisley , is expected to receive payment for the 20 times she’s served. When released, she must spent five years in supervision.
Lawyers asked the judge to repeatedly sentence , Julie Chrisley , to seven years behind bars. Prosecutor , Annalise Peters , said the Chrisleys “built an whole kingdom based on greed”, despite previously being rich. She claimed that Julie Chrisley’s deception and fraud spanned more than ten years and that she had taken advantage of her family, her system production company, and several contractors.
” This was an 11-year quest of scams after scams after fraud”, Peters said. She continued to commit at least three different types of fraud after learning that she was the subject of a bank fraud research.
The amount , Julie Chrisley , has paid in compensation was considerably reduced as part of her new word. In 2022, Todd and , Julie Chrisley , were simultaneously ordered to pay$ 17.2 million and to renounce the same amount. On Wednesday, Julie Chrisley’s compensation was reduced to$ 4.7 million.
According to the prosecution, that sum represents” the true damage incurred after Julie’s real estate company received its initial false product on , July 11, 2007″.
Julie Chrisley’s lawyer,  , Alex Little, said the jury’s refusal to implement a decreased sentence was very disappointing. He even criticized the prosecutor for appearing to admonish , Savannah Chrisley , during the reading.
Ross was asked to take into account the impact Julie Chrisley’s prison had on her two youngest kids, 11 and 18, who have been in Savannah Chrisley’s treatment. Without naming , Savannah Chrisley, the prosecutor said she hoped those entrusted with the children’s maintenance were not “putting misleading, false and misleading information out there”.
The judge added that she hoped the family’s well-being was more important than assessments on television or podcasts.
” Get truthful with them about what has happened in this case and show them how to be great people,” Ross said. ” People that do n’t cheat. That do n’t steal”.
Outdoor court,  , Savannah Chrisley , said the idea that she had placed scores above her sisters is “laughable”.
” This has nothing to do with rankings”, she said. ” We’ve given them no false information. I really believe that a lot of it is politically motivated because the judge had made her decision.
Savannah Chrisley, who , spoke at the , Republican National Convention , in July, said she had not talked with previous President , Donald Trump , about pardoning her kids should he be elected again in November. She claimed that the exchanges she had with Trump “have been nothing but full of love and assistance.”
For the first time since appearing in public as an inmate, without beauty or color-treated hair, Julie Chrisley’s resentencing reading was held. She wore a dark blue jail uniform and was a blond in court.
The prosecutor denied Julie Chrisley’s request to take herself back to prison in , Lexington, Kentucky. She may be transported by the , U. S. Marshals Service.
Julie Chrisley’s prosecutors said in a , Sept. 20 , filing that she had been” a design criminal” and has earned a crane registration and more than 40 credentials for completing several programs. They said she had worked in the facility’s canteen, food services and cleaning.
The Chrisleys, who got rich working in actual property, lived in , Atlanta , when they , landed a reality television show about their family , in 2013. They moved to , Nashville , before they were indicted in 2019.
Todd Chrisley, 56, is in a minimum-security jail in , Pensacola, Florida.
