Julie and Todd are currently in the process ofappealing their case. Previously, daughter Lindsie Chrisley’s attorney Musa Ghanayem told PEOPLE that “the appeals process, if they go to prison, will continue to go on.” He also explained that “if a new trial was ordered, they’d have to go through the whole process again.”
All the while, the Chrisleys have continued to keep the faith.
“I have been reading and praying and praying with my prayer partner and believing that the journey that we’re all on —that there is a reason,” Julie said on a previousChrisley Confessions. “There is a purpose.”
