Reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley will have fewer days to cross off the calendar as they await their release from prison after being convicted and sentenced to hard time for fraud and tax evasion, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"Without a doubt, Todd and Julie are model incarcerated individuals who received exorbitant sentences," the couple's attorney, Jay Surgent, shared in a statement.
Todd had his 12 year sentence reduced by two years.
"I believe Todd is down to 10 years and Julie is now at five years," he told Insider. Once their prison time is over, the couple will have to serve 16 months of probation.
Todd is now set for release from the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola on January 22, 2033, Page Six reported, nearly two years before his original 12-year sentence would end.
Todd Chrisley was ordered to pay $755k to Georgia Department of Revenue investigator Amy Doherty-Heinze.
Julie, on the other hand, will get a taste of freedom after her new scheduled release from the Federal Medical Center Lexington on October 19, 2028, slashing 14 months from her seven-year sentence. She was previously set to do her time at FCI Marianna in Jackson County, Florida, but was re-designated to Kentucky.
Surgent predicted the sentences will be shaved down even more due to the implementation of new sentencing guidelines in November.
Julie's seven-year sentence has been cut down by 14 months.
As RadarOnline.com reported, the reality stars pled not guilty to 12 counts, including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud after a federal indictment in August 2019 on charges that they submitted fake documents to banks to secure more than $30 million in loans. Julie was also accused of using faulty statements to rent a home.
In June 2022, they were found guilty by an Atlanta federal jury.
"When you lie, cheat and steal, justice is blind as to your fame, your fortune, and your position," said Keri Farley, the Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. "In the end, when driven by greed, the verdict of guilty on all counts for these three defendants proves once again that financial crimes do not pay."
"Without a doubt, Todd and Julie are model incarcerated individuals who received exorbitant sentences," the couple's attorney shared.
