The verdict is in. On Monday, November 21, Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison while wife Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven.
They both also got 16 months of probation.
The spouses were convicted in June of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Julie was also hit with wire fraud charges.
According to a report, Julie's lawyers previously requested the prison terms be staggered so she can be on supervised release for the sake of caring for their grandchildren and her mother-in-law.
