Todd Chrisley wishes nothing but the best for Julie Chrisley . That's why the Chrisley Knows Best alum—who is currently serving time on fraud and tax evasion charges —cried "happy tears" when he learned that his wife's seven-year prison sentence was recently overturned , according to their daughter Savannah Chrisley . "That's the only thing he cares about right now," she shared on the July 2 episode of Unlocked , "is getting her home.
" In fact, Savannah said her dad is "fine" that his own 10-year prison sentence was upheld in the latest appeal. “Mom obviously was heartbroken for dad," the 26-year-old shared, "but hopefully she can come home and then she can go visit him—and that will be a game changer for his overall mental health and well-being, and for hers too." For now, the family is awaiting Julie's resentencing after an appeals court found that there was insufficient evidence in her and Todd's bank fraud case to show she had been involved in the scheme when it first began in 2006.
Ruling that the judge in the couple's 2022 trial had miscalculated the length of Julie's prison term, the appeals court vacated in her sentence last month and handed the case down to a lower court to determine her resetencing. “Now we sit and wait, hopefully, no more than 90 days to go for that hearing,” Savannah said on her podcast, noting that Julie's new sentence will be "a really big deal." She added, “I'm making it my goal that by Thanksgiving, she's home.
