For Todd Chrisley, however, his sentence remains the same and, as of now, that means he will likely be in prison
for years after his wife Julie is released. But the family and their legal team are actively fighting his case and hoping
he will walk free much sooner than is currently the case.
Both Chrisleys reported for prison in January 2023 — Todd to Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida, and Julie to Federal Medical Center Lexington, Kentucky — which means that barring any further reductions, Todd Chrisley is expected to remain in federal custody until January 2033.
Meanwhile, Julie Chrisley will have served more than a year and a half of her now-vacated sentence by the time she is resentenced.
The couple’s daughter Savannah Chrisley relayed their reactions to the appeals court’s decision to vacate Julie’s sentence, saying of her father Todd, “He was crying, like happy tears, knowing that mom could be home. That’s the only thing he cares about right now is getting her home… Mom was obviously heartbroken for dad, but hopefully, she can come home and then she can go visit him, and that will be a game changer, I think, for his overall mental health and wellbeing… and hers, too.”
Savannah said the family is also hopeful that if Julie Chrisley were released after her resentencing, they would consider pursuing an ineffective assistance of counsel defense in Todd’s case: “The appeals court gave us a very very solid case for ineffective counsel by saying [the] trial lawyer should have done x, y, and z. They should have objected. They should have filed the motion timely,” she explained.
In other words, this isn’t over yet, but for now, Todd Chrisley is in custody until the turn of 2033.
