Julie Chrisley resentencing: Savannah arrives at federal courthouse ahead of mother’s hearing

Atlanta, GALocal News

Savannah Chrisley arrived at the federal courthouse in downtown Atlanta on September 25, 2024, to attend the resentencing hearing for her mother, Julie Chrisley. Julie has been serving a 20-month sentence in a federal prison in Lexington, Kentucky, following a 2022 conviction for fraud, which also implicated her husband Todd and their accountant Peter Tarantino. The family’s legal troubles have attracted significant media attention, particularly due to their reality television background. In June, an appeals court vacated Julie's original sentence, necessitating a new hearing to determine her fate. This resentencing represents a critical moment for the Chrisley family, as the outcome could alter Julie's time behind bars.

Savannah, who arrived at the courthouse with the family's attorney Alex Little, has been a vocal supporter of her mother throughout this ordeal. The Chrisleys' case highlights broader issues related to financial fraud and accountability, drawing interest from both local and national audiences. As the hearing unfolds, the family remains in the spotlight, navigating the complexities of the legal system while maintaining their public persona.
