A federal judge had decided to refuse to lower Julie Chrisley’s sentence and has resentenced her to 84 months in prison.
The judge said the sentence is a sufficient punishment.
Ahead of the court hearing, daughter Savannah Chrisley said she had hoped for a sentence reduction for her mother.
“My biggest concern is that the judge is going to use sentencing guidelines that have not been revised in quite a long time and use a table that really should not exist, so they’re going to potentially use that for their justification to keep 84 months,” Savannah said.

Julie Chrisley has spent the last 20 months at a federal prison in Lexington, Kentucky after being found guilty of fraud in 2022 along with her husband Todd, and their accountant Peter Tarantino.
In June, an appeals court vacated her sentence and then ordered the lower District Court to resentence Julie.
