Julie Chrisley will have another chance to shave time off of her prison sentence.
According to legal documents, on Friday, June 21, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declared the Chrisley Knows Best star must be resentenced after they discovered the first trial judge had miscalculated Julie's original sentence in 2022.
The judges' ruling found that the matriarch was charged as if she had been involved in the bank fraud scheme since 2006 despite there being insufficient evidence to tie her to the crime before 2007.
"The problem is that we have not located the evidence the district court relied on in adopting that finding," the legal authorities stated in their report. "Our review of the record hasn’t revealed evidence to show, even by a preponderance of the evidence, that [Julie] was involved in 2006. Indeed, the government’s brief concedes that the evidence shows Julie 'participated in the bank fraud conspiracy from 2007,' not 2006."
