Todd and Julie Chrisley could be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison
Reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley could be sentenced to more than a decade in prison after being convicted of fraud and tax evasion earlier this year. In a sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors suggested Todd Chrisley receive 17 1/2 to nearly 22 years in prison, and Julie Chrisley be sentenced to 10 to 12 1/2 years in prison.
The prosecutors argued that while "most tax cheaters try to keep a low profile while avoiding detection from the IRS," the Chrisleys did the opposite.
"In 2013, while Todd was in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings, the Chrisleys filmed a promotional video for their new reality show about their extravagant lifestyle. In the video, Todd boasted that he 'makes millions of dollars a year,' and in another shot where he is standing in his walk-in closet in his expansive house, he bragged that 'in a year, we probably spend over $300,000, sometimes more, just on clothing.'"
