'Chrisley Knows Best' star Julie Chrisley will be resentenced in bank fraud and tax evasion case after appeals court reversed punishment against reality star.
Julie Chrisley earned a legal victory Friday when federal appeals judges threw out her sentence for bank fraud and tax evasion. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals still upheld the convictions against Julie and her husband, Todd Chrisley, who were sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison in November 2022 after a jury found the couple guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans, in addition to conspiring to defraud the IRS.
Todd was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison, but had two years removed from his sentence. Julie was given a seven-year prison sentence after initially being indicted in August 2019 on bank fraud and tax evasion charges. Her sentence was reduced by 14 months in September 2023. They will each have to complete 16 months of probation following the end of their prison sentences.
During the Chrisley trial two years ago, prosecutors alleged that the Chrisleys had submitted fake documents to banks when applying for loans. In addition, they claimed that Julie also had submitted a false credit report and fake bank statements when trying to rent a house in California. Annalise Peters, a representative of the United States Attorneys' Office, claimed that the evidence was 'overwhelming at trial' that the Chrisleys had 'conspired to evade the IRS.
Todd Chrisley was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. He checked into the minimum security facility, Federal Prison Camp Pensacola. When it came to the Chrisleys former accountant, Peter Tarantino, who was sentenced to three years in prison for willfully filing false tax returns, Peters argued that Little had not shown any 'actual compelling prejudice that results from this.
