A federal judge in Georgia on Wednesday rejected a bid from former reality TV star Julie Chrisley to reduce her sentence for a fraud and tax evasion conviction.
Chrisley will still face an 84-month sentence, after being found guilty in 2022 of conspiring with her husband Todd to hide their earnings from tax officials and defraud community banks in the Atlanta area out of $30m.
Julie Chrisley, the star of the USA Network show “Chrisley Knows Best,” had been seeking a reduction to no more than a five-year sentence, citing the impact of her detention in a Kentucky prison on her two youngest children.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
