Savannah Chrisley, daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, revealed what she saw on her parentsâ faces while in the courtroom.
Chrisley, 26, appeared on the March 14 episode of the podcast Off The Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe and spoke about the unforgettable moment when she heard her parentsâ verdict being read for the first time.
âI will never forget when they stood up to read the verdicts and it was like, guilty, guilty, guilty, like over and over and over again,â she told host Kaitlyn Bristowe. âAnd I just saw the looks on my parentsâ faces and just everything, like they were just in tears. We were not expecting that, we were like, âThereâs no way.'â
Savannah Chrisley said that she and her parents believe they are â100 percentâ not guilty.
âI hope that this appeal will show those things because we were never given an evidentiary hearing by the judge to prove that the accusations that we were making were true,â she added.
She claimed âthat federal prosecutors had liedâ and âwithheld evidence that could have shown innocenceâ and many other âerrors within the court that the judge was not having.â
Now that her parents are away in federal Prison, Savannah Chrisley said that it is now her âjobâ to âbring awareness to itâ and to do what she can to âeducateâ herself and âget in front of the right people.â
In June 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of âconspiring to defraud Atlanta banks.â
On Jan. 17, they reported to Prison to serve out their combined 19-year Prison sentences.
In a previous statement obtained by People, Alex Little of Burr & Forman LLP, Todd chrisleyâs attorney, spoke about their appeal following their sentencing in November.
âYesterday was a difficult day for the Chrisley family. But Todd and Julie are people of faith, and that faith gives them strength as they appeal their convictions. Their trial was marred by serious and repeated errors, including the government lying to jurors about what taxes the couple paid,â he said.
He added that they were âoptimistic about the road ahead.â
