Reality star Julie Chrisley resentenced to 7 years in bank fraud and tax evasion case
LA Times“Chrisley Knows Best” reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud two years ago. A federal judge on Wednesday resentenced Julie Chrisley to seven years in prison for her conviction on bank fraud and tax evasion charges, declining the reality TV star’s request for less time in prison than was originally imposed. Circuit Court of Appeals in June upheld the Chrisleys’ convictions but found a legal error in how the trial judge had calculated Julie Chrisley’s sentence by holding her accountable for the entire bank-fraud scheme. U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross said that when she originally sentenced Julie Chrisley, she took into account her age, her health and the fact that she was a caretaker for young children and elderly parents.
