Todd and Julie Chrisley are 'one step closer' to coming home after new appeal 'win,' says daughter Savannah

• Savannah Chrisley is celebrating an early "Thanksgiving win" in her fight to bring her parents home.
• She said on Instagram that a judge will hear oral arguments in Todd and Julie's case next year.

Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley are "one step closer" to returning home to their family, according to their eldest daughter, Savannah Chrisley.

A year after they were sentenced to a combined 19 years in jail on bank fraud and tax evasion charges, the reality television stars have been granted a request to bring their case to an appeals court, Savannah said.

Sharing the news in a video posted to Instagram Monday, Savannah said she received a phone call notifying her that oral arguments in her parents' case are expected to begin the week of March 25, 2024.

"I literally was sobbing. It is one step closer to getting mom and dad home. The kids are freaking out. I'm freaking out. I got to explain it to Chloe. It's just amazing," she said.

Savannah continued: "Only about 6% of cases that are submitted for oral arguments get accepted. So this is huge news."

"We get to go and argue why Mom and Dad should be home," she concluded the video. "God is good. Thanksgiving win!"

In the caption of her post, Savannah added that the oral arguments represent a "critical" point in the almost year-long journey to appeal her parents' conviction.

An attorney for the Chrisleys did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Todd and Julie, who previously starred on the USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," were found guilty of defrauding banks out of more than $30 million by providing fake financial statements making it look like they were wealthier than they were.

At trial last summer, prosecutors proved that the couple used the loans to buy expensive cars, take extravagant trips, and live a lifestyle they couldn't afford while also hiding money from the IRS to avoid paying taxes.

As a result, Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and his wife, Julie, was handed a seven-year sentence. They are serving their sentences at two separate facilities in Florida and Kentucky.

As Insider reported in September, the pair have already had time shaved off their sentences.

Todd is scheduled to be released from FPC Pensacola on December 8, 2032, according to federal prison records. Meanwhile, Julie's release from FMC Lexington has been moved up to September 4, 2028.
