Todd and Julie Chrisley’s daughter Savannah is standing by her parents.
During an interview, Savannah claimed her parents are not guilty amid their tax fraud sentencing.
While her parents are set to file an appeal this month, Savannah suggested Todd and Julie are “100%” not guilty and hopes that this appeal “will show those things” on the “Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristow” podcast.
When asked if Savannah had any resentment toward her parents after their financial crimes, she said that she did not.

“I know who my parents are,” she remarked. “I know the things they have and have not done. I know the witch hunt. When the government wants someone, they want someone. They’re going to do whatever it takes to make it look how they need it to look. There’s no resentment whatsoever.”
The 26-year-old recalled the shocking moment when the guilty verdict was read and her parents’ emotional reaction to the daunting news.
“I will never forget the moment, sitting in that courtroom every day, a four-week trial,” Savannah detailed. “And it took three days for the verdict to come back.”

“I will never forget when they stood up to read the verdicts and it was like, ‘guilty, guilty, guilty,’ like over and over and over again,” she continued.
“I just saw the looks on my parents’ faces and just everything, they were just in tears. We were not expecting that, we were like, ‘There’s no way.'”
