Why Julie Chrisley’s Resentencing Judge Said She Doesn’t “Get a Pass from Criminal Conduct”

Judge Eleanor L. Ross did not reduce Julie Chrisley’s prison term at her September 25, 2024 resentencing: she left the 84-month sentence in place. PEOPLE reported that Ross made the “you don’t get a pass from criminal conduct because you’re a parent” remark after considering letters about Chrisley’s children. A later development changed the sentence’s practical status: the U.S. Department of Justice records that President Donald Trump granted Chrisley a full and unconditional pardon on May 28, 2025.

Why did the judge make the parenthood remark?

PEOPLE reported that Ross had received letters from family members, including Chrisley’s daughter Savannah, as well as a therapist’s letter concerning the children. In that context, PEOPLE attributed this statement to Ross: “I am concerned about the children but [with] all due respect, you don’t get a pass from criminal conduct because you’re a parent.”

The remark addressed the request for leniency in light of the children’s circumstances. It did not mean the judge was unconcerned about them: the reported wording expressly says she was. The available account is PEOPLE’s report of the hearing; it is not a transcript, and the complete resentencing order is not available here. The quote and context should therefore be understood as reported, not independently verified against a court transcript.

Did Julie Chrisley get a shorter sentence?

No. At the September 25, 2024 resentencing, Ross imposed the same 84-month prison term Chrisley had originally received. PEOPLE reported that the judge considered the existing term sufficient. The report also says Ross denied a request for a 24-hour furlough before Chrisley returned to prison.

The Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney lists the sentence as amended on September 25, 2024: 84 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and $4,740,645.04 in restitution. The DOJ offense list includes conspiracy to commit bank fraud, five bank-fraud counts, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States to obstruct and impede the internal revenue laws, tax evasion, and obstruction of justice.

What happened after the resentencing?

On May 28, 2025, President Donald Trump granted Chrisley a full and unconditional pardon for the offenses enumerated in United States v. Chrisley, 1:19-cr-297. The DOJ pardon warrant records that action. DOJ pardon warrant

The resentencing and pardon were separate actions: Ross kept the prison term unchanged in September 2024, while the later presidential pardon was an executive clemency decision. The pardon is the later development that changes the practical status of the sentence described in the 2024 hearing coverage.
