As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating virtual legal systems and courts, I can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Julie Chrisley‘s legal team. The 11th Circuit Court’s decision to uphold her original sentence feels like a glitch in the matrix, a scripted outcome that leaves little room for hope.
Last week, Julie Chrisley faced a hearing to reschedule her bank fraud sentence in Atlanta, which was a disappointment for the former star of “Chrisley Knows Best.” As prosecutors had requested, the 51-year-old mother’s original 84-month sentence remains unchanged following the resentencing. Since then, Chrisley’s attorney, Jay Surgent, has expressed his discontent with the situation and is now outlining their next course of action.
The New Jersey attorney, who additionally acts for Julie Chrisley’s husband, Todd Chrisley, didn’t shy away from expressing his thoughts on the court’s decision. He voiced his disappointment, labeling it as “disappointing” and “excessive,” during an interview with The Sun. In this same conversation, the partner at Weiner Law Group provided further insights explaining why he believed the verdict to be unjust.
Apart from being an exemplary inmate, her medical issues and domestic circumstances suggest that she should be handled like any other defendant. However, I believe her fame is the primary reason she isn’t, as opposed to her notoriety.
Initially, Julie Chrisley was given a seven-year prison term in November 2022, while Todd received an order for a 12-year sentence. However, Julie started her prison sentence in early 2023 at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. Later, in September 2023, their sentences were reduced, and they believed that further reductions might be possible.
During a recent interview, Jay Surgent stated that the 11th Circuit Court seemed to show some prejudice towards Julie Chrisley, intending to make an example of her due to her celebrity status. At first, he was optimistic about his client’s chances of receiving a lighter sentence and anticipated releasing Chrisley by “the next spring or summer.” Despite the setback with the resentencing, Surgent remains hopeful and is working with his team to appeal the decision.
We are going to appeal. I think she didn’t get a fair evaluation of her circumstances. That is an unfortunate situation. We know it will take a couple of months. If it turns out the 11th Circuit doesn’t reverse her decision but remands it, I think it should be remanded back to another Federal District Court judge within Atlanta to reconsider her resentencing. … We are not giving up.
The lawyer has been collaborating with Savannah Chrisley, daughter of Julie, on the ongoing legal case. Earlier this year, Savannah expressed that more action was needed after her mother’s conviction was overturned. She later mentioned her intention to bring Julie back home by Thanksgiving. Currently, Jay Surgent shares that they, along with Savannah and the legal team, are “optimistic” about a favorable outcome for Julie following the resentencing. However, whether their endeavors will ultimately be successful remains uncertain.
