The record
Julie Chrisley married Todd Chrisley in 1996 and appeared with him on Chrisley Knows Best, which USA Network premiered in March 2014. In the federal case brought in Atlanta she was convicted alongside him of bank fraud and tax offenses, and on one count he did not face: obstruction of justice, for submitting a fraudulent document in response to a grand jury subpoena, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Judge Eleanor L. Ross sentenced her to seven years in November 2022, and she reported to the federal prison in Marianna, Florida, in January 2023. In June 2024 the 11th Circuit vacated her sentence on a narrow point: the trial judge had held her responsible for the scheme from 2006, though the panel found evidence tying her to it only from 2007.
At resentencing in September 2024 the judge imposed seven years again, declining her lawyer's request for no more than five, and Julie Chrisley apologized in court for her actions. President Trump's pardon warrant for her was signed on May 28, 2025. The Office of the Pardon Attorney lists her sentence as 84 months and her restitution, as amended, at $4,740,645.04. Days later the family began filming a Lifetime series.
