Todd Chrisley’s mother, Faye, says her family is ‘going to come out bigger and better’ as he carries out his 12-year prison sentence for tax evasion and fraud.Todd and Julie — who “have a continuing faith in goodness” per Surgent — are in the process of appealing their sentences and convictions. Surgent said he his hopeful for a remand for additional hearings or a “reversal of the trial verdicts” — though it might take time.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of Georgia declined to comment on any specifics related to how the Chrisley cases were handled. “I think [Todd is] frustrated with the legal system in general, as far as how long it takes to get anything processed — from getting mail to being able to make phone calls to having his case processed on appeal,” Surgent added. “Everything is delay, delay, delay and it’s very frustrating to him.”
He added that his client “has a lot of hope that at some point in time that he and his wife will receive some semblance of justice and be able to get out in a reasonable period of time.”
