WSB-TV 2 out of Atlanta, Ga. reported that "a federal judge sentenced Todd Chrisley to 12 years in prison plus 16 months probation." Julie Chrisley's sentence was slightly less. She will spend 7 years behind bars followed by 16 months probation. This plus Elizabeth Holmes being sentenced to over 11 years in prison means it's a "tough" time for rich, white grifters.
In a 71-page sentencing memorandum procured by WSB-TV 2, it was suggested that "Todd Chrisley could have faced between 17 and 22 years in prison while his wife Julie Chrisley could have faced 10 to 13 years." The prosecutors clearly stated the severity of the crimes committed by the couple. "After they defrauded community banks out of tens of millions of dollars, they hid millions of dollars from the IRS, all while going on television to boast about how much they spend on designer clothes," they wrote.
The memorandum also said, "And when they learned that they were under investigation for those crimes, they involved their own family members and friends to obstruct justice." Speaking of family, Todd was a guest on a recent episode of Savannah Chrisley's podcast Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley. While the episode description mentions a discussion of the trial, the conversation is breezy and doesn't sound like someone facing prison time. As of the time of this writing, we don't know when the couple is set to report to prison.
