It’s no secret that ex-reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley weren’t content with the verdict they received in their finance-based court case last year. They were found guilty of bank fraud and more offenses in the summer of 2022, before being sentenced to years in prison. The Chrisley Knows Best alums (and their family) have since claimed their legal proceedings were negatively impacted by government errors, bias and more. With that, they’ve sought to appeal the case, and not much has been said about their attempt for some time. This week, however, their new lawyer clarified what’s going on with their retrial attempt.
The newest member of the Chrisleys’ legal counsel is Jay Surgent and, over the past several days, he’s released several statements on his clients’ behalf. He specifically slammed the prison conditions Julie and Todd Chrisley are facing as well as the latter’s rejected home confinement petition. When it comes to the pair’s appeal and how the process might progress, Surgent admitted that they “don’t know yet.” He also mentioned that he and his team “did our final filings” last week.
