Todd Chrisley sentenced 12 years in federal prison, Julie Chrisley gets 7 years

Todd and Julie Chrisley are going to do hard time after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion. A federal judge just sentenced Todd to 12 years in prison and Julie to 7 years.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" stars learned their fate Monday in federal court in Atlanta, where U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross handed down their punishment. They also both received 16 months probation.

Federal prosecutors argued Monday for lengthy prison sentences for Todd and Julie ... around 22 years for Todd and a dozen for Julie. On the other side, Todd's lawyers argued he should get a maximum of 9 years in prison, while Julie's lawyers argued she should spend no time behind bars and just get probation.

Todd's father, Gene Raymond Chrisley spent decades in prison for burglary, armed robbery, larceny, motor vehicle theft, assaulting a police officer, escape from prison, check fraud and many other heinous acts of crime in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama.
