Chrisley Knows Best fans waited to hear if Julie Chrisley would get a reduced sentence after she returned to the lower court in Atlanta for resentencing, and it turned out she would not be going home early. While critics cheer, others might hold young Chloe Chrisley in their thoughts as her big sister Savannah was confident her mom would be home by Thanksgiving.
The Court Upheld The Seven-Year Prison Sentence
Savannah Chrisley was so convinced that her mom was coming home with a reduced sentence, that they even discussed where they would live. Julie opted to live with Savannah and the younger kids until she adapted to no longer being an inmate.
However, the judge could have given her a much longer sentence, so instead of getting less time, her prison term was upheld on September 25. Savannah Chrisley was so confident that her mom would go home early, but many fans of the reality TV show called her out as being deluded. And, it seems they were correct.
