Julie Chrisley seeks court approval to wear civilian attire at resentencing

Atlanta, GALocal News

Julie Chrisley's legal team is seeking approval from a federal judge to allow her to wear civilian clothes at her resentencing hearing, which is set for September 25 in Atlanta. The request emphasizes that this change in attire would help safeguard her rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments. Julie Chrisley has already served 21 months of a seven-year prison sentence for her conviction related to a bank fraud scheme that involved lying to banks for $36 million in loans and evading taxes on over $500,000. Earlier this month, an appeals court ruled in favor of Chrisley, stating there was insufficient evidence to support claims of her involvement in the fraud from the beginning. This ruling could influence the outcome of her resentencing as she prepares to return to court.

The public interest surrounding the Chrisley family, particularly due to their reality TV fame, adds a layer of complexity to the case. As the date approaches, many are watching closely to see how the court will handle the request for civilian attire. The implications of this hearing extend beyond just fashion, potentially impacting the narrative surrounding her legal troubles.
