Todd and Julie Chrisley officially showed up for jail time last week, months after being sentenced to years in prison for tax evasion and other crimes. Currently, Todd faces 12 years in prison, while Julie will serve 7, and both will also receive 16 months of probation each. Despite their current situation, their attorney, Alex Little, still believes they will get a retrial in the future. With that, you’ve provided an explanation as to why you think this might be happening.
Shortly after the Chrisleys’ sentencing in November, Alex Little commented: saying he’s “optimistic” on his clients’ attempt to appeal the case. Little said at the time that the process was “tainted by serious and repeated errors”. One alleged mistake he mentioned was that “the government” was “lying to juries about the couple’s taxes.” The lawyer developed the argument of him during an interview with eastern time during which he raised two specific points:
The beginning of this case was an unconstitutional search by the Georgia Department of Revenue. This court has already ruled that it was unconstitutional and should have stopped the whole case. This doesn’t happen. And that’s definitely one of the things we’re looking for in the call. The second part is that one of the IRS officials testified about the Chrisleys paying certain taxes. This certainly, in our view, affected the jury and we believe will be the basis for a retrial.
Through their motion, the Chrisleys said the court allowed “substantial volumes of trial evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment.” They also say that in doing so the court failed to “correctly enforce its suppression order”. So far the couple failed bank fraud appeal , as his request for bail and an extension of the delivery date was denied almost two weeks ago. Another argument at play here is whether the Chrisley knows best the stars have shown remorse for their actions, and Alex Little explained why he created a “dilemma” for them:
It is certainly true that courts want defendants to bear responsibility, but it is also difficult to accept responsibility when you have not done what you are accused of. It is a difficulty that every innocent person faces when found guilty and convicted. People were found not guilty of murder a decade later and all the while some courts believed they showed no remorse when in fact they were innocent. So it’s always a dilemma for anyone wrongly convicted.
Reports have indicated this Julie and Todd Chrisley weren’t happy shortly after being sentenced to years in prison. They reportedly felt they were “unfairly singled out by the judge” due to their reality TV star status. Between being found guilty and finally having to show up for jail, they’ve both talked about their headspaces. Todd, in particular, He said he was “struggling” but what are you faith carried him forward during turbulent times. In an unrestricted interview, patriarch Chrisley also called out his former business partner, Mark Braddock, who said he was in a gay relationship. Todd called him “toad”, Moreover.
that of the couple even the kids got their backs during this time , sharing supportive messages on social media in the days leading up to report dates. Before that, his daughter Lindsie Chrisley shared how their parents used their time before their surrender. He said they were spending time with his family. and “live each day as if it were your last”. They would do just that on their last weekend as free people.
At present, Todd and Julie Chrisley remain incarcerated while Alex Little seeks a new trial. He later told ET that the stars would like people to know that they “didn’t do these things” and would “fight to clear their name.” Only time will tell if they’ll be successful on that front.
