The saga of Todd and Julie Chrisley, the once-celebrated stars of the hit reality series Chrisley Knows Best, is far from over. What began as a family built on charm, laughter,

luxury, and southern wit has evolved into one of the most dramatic legal battles in modern reality television history. And now, in a bold and fiery new move, Todd and Julie

are pushing back harder than ever—alleging suppressed evidence, false testimony, and constitutional violations that they claim led to their wrongful convictions.

This is not just another appeal. This is a fight for their legacy, their freedom, and their family.

A Conviction That Shook Reality TV

In June, Todd and Julie were convicted on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion, accusations that stunned their fanbase and reshaped the way the public viewed one of television’s most glamorous families. Prosecutors claimed the couple conspired to defraud banks in Atlanta of approximately $30 million, presenting a narrative that depicted the Chrisleys as living lavishly on borrowed and falsified finances.

The conviction set the couple on a path toward potentially decades in prison—a future that would tear the family apart at the roots. Their sentencing was set for October, and fans, supporters, and critics alike were holding their breath.

But Todd and Julie were not done fighting. Not even close.

The Motion That Changes Everything

According to new court filings obtained by Radar Online, Todd and Julie have lodged an official request for their conviction to be thrown out entirely, demanding a new trial.

And their argument is explosive.

Their legal team claims that the government knowingly presented false testimony to the jury during their trial—a move that could fundamentally undermine the integrity of the verdict.

At the center of this accusation stands IRS Revenue Officer Betty Carter.

The IRS Testimony at the Heart of the Controversy

During the trial, Carter testified that the Chrisleys owed the IRS years of unpaid taxes—a damaging claim that painted Todd and Julie as habitual financial deceivers and contributed heavily to the prosecution’s portrayal of the couple as intentionally dishonest.

But according to Todd and Julie’s attorneys, Carter later admitted that her testimony was false.

In the motion, the defense reveals that after the trial concluded, Carter allegedly contacted the Chrisleys’ accountant privately and acknowledged that the couple did not, in fact, owe money to the IRS during the years in question. If true, this revelation means the jury was operating under false and misleading information—information that could have decisively influenced their guilty verdict.

This alleged admission was never disclosed during trial, meaning the jury never had access to critical exculpatory evidence that could have changed the outcome.

The Chrisleys’ legal team argues this was not just an error—but a violation of their right to a fair trial.

“A False Impression of Who Todd and Julie Really Are”

In their motion, the defense emphasizes that the jury was given a distorted portrait of the couple—one that painted them as defiant tax dodgers living above the law. The attorneys argue that the government did not correct the testimony, despite having access to evidence showing the IRS debt had been resolved.

The result? According to the defense:

“The jury was left with the false impression that the Chrisleys continued to avoid paying taxes for these years.”

This portrayal, they argue, unfairly prejudiced the jury and significantly contributed to their conviction.

The motion does not stop there. It also claims that much of the evidence used in the case was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against illegal search and seizure. The defense asserts that the government gathered documents and financial materials without valid authorization, meaning the evidence should have been suppressed and excluded from trial entirely.

If even part of this claim is substantiated, the legal consequences could be substantial.

A Fight for More Than Freedom

This legal battle is not simply about overturning a conviction. For Todd and Julie, this is about reputation, legacy, and family identity.

They have built their brand—and deeply loyal fandom—on themes of:

• Faith
• Family unity
• Resilience
• Redemption

The Chrisley children, especially Savannah and Chase, have stood by their parents publicly and emotionally. They have spoken out about the injustice they believe their mother and father are facing, and they have vowed not to stop fighting until the truth is brought to light.

The emotional toll has been heavy. But the resolve is stronger.

What Happens Next?

If the judge grants the motion, Todd and Julie will receive a new trial, meaning:

• The prior conviction is nullified
• The case is re-evaluated in full
• Evidence and testimony will be scrutinized with renewed intensity

However, if the judge denies the motion, the Chrisleys will proceed to sentencing—where they could face years, even decades, separated from their family.

The stakes could not be higher.

The Chrisley Legacy: Tested, Not Broken

The Chrisleys have lived under bright lights for years—celebrated, criticized, scrutinized, and at times, misunderstood. Their rise to fame showcased wealth, wit, and love. Their current battle reveals something deeper: endurance and faith under pressure.

Todd once said on Chrisley Knows Best:

“A family that is built on love can handle anything—even storms we never saw coming.”

And now, that belief is being tested more than ever.

Whether the truth of suppressed evidence shifts the course of their legal fate remains to be seen. But what is certain is this:
