Julie Chrisley’s Letters from Prison Reveal Heartbreak of Separation from Todd
In June 2022, the Chrisleys were found guilty on 12 counts, which included charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Recently, the couple was awarded a $1 million settlement in January from the state of Georgia after suing former special investigator Joshua Waites for misconduct in his handling of their investigation.
“We have been saying for months that the criminal case against the Chrisleys was highly unusual and had real problems,” the family’s lawyer Alex Little shared in a statement with E! News at the time. “This settlement is an encouraging sign. It’s nearly unprecedented for one arm of the government to pay money to defendants when another arm is fighting to keep them in jail.”
And while Todd and Julie are only a year into their sentences, Savannah knows they have a long journey ahead.
“I can just feel her hurt through these messages,” she said of the letters. “Sure, there’s some funny things in here, mom’s trying to make jokes, trying to make light of it, but like this is her life now. And it’s so different than obviously what it was before, in just the emotional aspect of having to miss your family so much.”
