Todd and Julie Chrisley have joined the roster of reality stars that have faced fraud-related legal troubles.\u00a0 Following a November court date, the married couple was ordered to serve a combined sentence of almost 20 years in prison. \u00a0Their shared list of charges includes conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States.\u00a0 While Julie will serve a seven-year sentence in Kentucky, Todd has been sentenced to twelve years in a Pensacola, FL facility.\u00a0 In one of his recent podcasts, Todd admitted that their legal counsel has already filed the necessary paperwork to appeal the conviction.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Although the pair faced the same four charges, Julie Chrisley was also convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud.\u00a0 Todd and Julie reported to prison <\/a>in January.\u00a0 While in prison, their daughter Savannah will reportedly maintain custody of her younger brother Grayson, 16, and her niece Chloe, 10, the daughter of Todd\u2019s oldest son from a previous marriage.\u00a0 In response to the arguably harsh sentencing of her parents, Savannah has issued the public opinion that the punishment may not necessarily fit the crime.\u00a0 Given the nature of similar fraud cases and the alleged victims, it may appear that the Chrisleys\u2019 sentencing was orchestrated as a lesson or example to potential violators of the law.<\/p>\n

For example, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City\u2019s Jen Shah entered a guilty plea in exchange for six years in prison.\u00a0 She was accused of being involved in a national telemarketing scheme that targeted victims based on old age and vulnerability.\u00a0 While Shah assumed responsibility for one charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, the second charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering was dropped.\u00a0 The main difference between the Chrisley and Shah cases is the plea of guilty versus not guilty.\u00a0 Despite their status as public figures, the courts confirmed the reality that nobody is above the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
