Julie Chrisley must attend her September listening to in particular person. And her family members concern that the dangerous information will carry on coming.
This summer season, Julie Chrisley requested to skip her resentencing listening to.
It isn’t out of a scarcity of curiosity. Slightly, the fallen actuality TV character hopes to keep away from a protracted, uncomfortable journey whereas nonetheless in custody. The decide has different priorities, nevertheless.
Eldest daughter Savannah Chrisley is bracing herself for the worst. She’s afraid to hope for this nightmare to finish quickly.
Julie Chrisley should attend her resentencing listening to in particular person
On September 25, Chrisley Is aware of Finest star Julie Chrisley will attend her resentencing listening to.
She had hoped to attend it remotely. As her lawyer has defined, bodily attending means touring — possible in shackles — in a jail automobile from FMC Lexington in Kentucky the entire means all the way down to Atlanta.
Nevertheless, WSB Atlanta experiences that, for no matter cause, the decide has insisted that Julie Chrisley attend the listening to in particular person. It’s unclear why.
Make no mistake — that is nonetheless largely excellent news for Julie. Jail is, by design, a depressing expertise, dehumanizing the responsible and harmless alike who’re confined inside its partitions. Julie will possible be spending much less time within the Kentucky facility than she had imagined.
The appeals court docket not too long ago vacated Julie Chrisley’s 7-year sentence attributable to inadequate proof of her complicity and guilt. (The decision stays in place, nevertheless … appeals are complicated)
More often than not, a resentencing listening to is nice information. But it surely’s not the identical as attending to go house in time for Thanksgiving. Julie might nonetheless find yourself spending many extra years in jail.
Savannah Chrisley is afraid to hope for the very best
Talking on the Tuesday, August 13 episode of her Unlocked podcast, eldest daughter Savannah Chrisley admitted that she is getting ready for the worst forward of her mom’s resentencing listening to.
“That’s the only dreams that I’ve had recently,” she admitted to her listeners.
“It’s just her coming home and her being at home,” Savannah described. “To the point that I wake up and I’m kind of disoriented. I’m like, ‘Wait. What is happening?’ Because it feels so real.”
“And,” Savannah emphasised, “I’m trying not to get my hopes up.”
She’s not delving into optimism “because, let’s face it, a lot of things within this legal battle have not gone our way.”
Savannah then sagely affirmed: “So I expect the worst, and anything else that is better than that is a win.”
Is the justice system ‘out to get’ Savannah’s dad and mom?
Once in a while, there’s a case the place a star commits a minor-to-moderate authorized violation and an formidable prosecutor makes an instance of them. It makes a mockery of the justice system, it sends a harsh message, and … it’s possible not what occurred right here.
As a substitute, what’s occurring with Todd and Julie Chrisley appears to be way more mundane. In accordance with the courts, they dedicated against the law — together with taking out huge fraudulent loans after which declaring chapter to keep away from paying them again.
The difficulty is their disproportionately prolonged sentences for non-violent crimes. The opposite situation is that they’re studying for themselves how damaged and dehumanizing our carceral system is.
To be blunt, the Chrisleys — the adults within the household, together with Savannah however particularly Todd and Julie Chrisley — don’t appear to be good individuals. Not on actuality TV, and definitely not behind the scenes.
However seeing Todd and Julie get shorter sentences than Jen Shah — whose crimes focused susceptible, aged victims — simply doesn’t sit proper with lots of people. Together with the Chrisley couple’s harshest critics.
Perhaps Julie Chrisley will get excellent news at her resentencing listening to. However, like Savannah, we wouldn’t depend on it.
