Savannah Chrisley is fuming after learning that a murderer's sentence is similar to the sentence her father earlier received and is already serving.
It would be recalled that Chrisley's parents, Todd and Julie, were sentenced to a combined 19 years behind bars after being found guilty of fraud and tax evasion in June 2022.
Expressing her frustration about the unfortunate dilemma, she took to her Instagram story to vent while demanding pressing answers.
Savannah Chrisley Poses A Question About Parents' Sentencing
The beginning of 2023 appears to be very challenging for the Chrisley family as they try to wrap their heads around their parents' conviction.
Taking to her Instagram story, Savannah, who happens to be the second born of Todd and Julie, posted a breaking news headline about a murderer who got convicted for his offense. Alongside the headline was a mugshot of the convicted killer.
The headline report read, "A man who confronted, shot, and killed another man who was walking with his two children last year was sentenced Wednesday to 13 years in prison."
Comparing the sentencing with that of her father, Todd, who is currently doing his 12-year sentence in Florida at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola for tax and fraud evasion – the reality TV star seemed pretty pissed with the similarity of sentencing between her father and the convicted killer.
Demanding an explanation for the weight of punishment meted on the "Chrisley Knows Best" patriarch, she highlighted her words in red text, writing, "Hmmm…make it make sense."
In the subsequent update, Savannah shared a video opening up about her thoughts. "Something I really wanna address about the last thing I posted, " she said. "I'm getting some responses saying he pled guilty."
She continued, "so you're telling me he pled guilty to taking a human life? So therefore, the sentence doesn't need to be as much. We live in a world where money means more than a human life."
Chrisley Earlier Compared Parents' Lengthy Sentencing To That Of Jen Shah
The "Chrisley Knows Best" star appears to be having a hard time dealing with the reality of her parent's conviction.
Per The Blast, Savannah revealed how upset she was about her parents getting higher sentences that varied in difference from television personality Jen Shah, who was also accused of a crime similar to that of her famous parents.
During a pre-recorded episode of her "Unlocked" podcast, the actress raised some salient points after she compared Shah's sentence to that of her parents.
She noted that Shah was sentenced to six and a half years, which is by far less than Todd and Julie's combined 19-year sentence. Expressing her displeasure, she said, "put the cases side-by-side, and it makes no sense – it just doesn't."
Buttressing her point, she further revealed that Shah's crimes were way worse than that of her parents since Shah left actual victims.
"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" alum telemarketing scheme was targeted at elderly people, stripping them of their earnings and homes. Meanwhile, Todd and Julie were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion, which they allegedly used to pay for their lavish lifestyles.
Chrisley further said in the podcast episode, "There were hundreds of victims who were elderly, and people that provided statements that lost their homes, threatened to end their lives. There were so many different things, and she got six-and-a-half years. Make that make sense"!
The Georgia Native Admitted That 'She's Falling Apart'
It appears Chrisley's built-up walls are crumbling down fast, and the TV personality isn't masking her feelings to the public.
As previously reported, Savannah opened up about how she felt following her parents' conviction on her "Unlocked" podcast. She revealed that she'd had a "really tough" time during her parents' absence.
She further spoke about how tasking it was for her to cope with the 53-year-old and his wife, Julie, beginning their prison sentences. She noted that this particular episode was filmed on January 12, five days before her parents reported to prison.
Savannah said, "So for those of you that are familiar with my family and have followed our lives and have also followed my podcast, you know that last week was an extremely difficult week for my family as a whole and for each of us individually."
Adding, "We kind of had to say goodbye to my parents for a little bit of time, for the foreseeable future. And that was really, really, really tough."
Chrisley further clarified that the podcast episode only seemed "happy-go-lucky" because she finished filming it before her life started "falling apart."
Additionally, she noted, saying "I think it's because there was a lot of hope that was had, and I wasn't faced with the reality of the situation."
