Giving PEOPLEan update on the pair’s appeal process, Todd and Julie’s attorney Jay Surgent revealed new filings were submitted in late July.
“The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals can reverse the District Court, or they could remand the case back for hearings that should have been held that were not held during the course of this trial,” he explained. “We argued very vigorously that their constitutional rights have been violated, and that they basically were not given a fair hearing. It’s all in black and white, actually.”

In the meantime, Todd and Julie’s children have given updates on how they’ve been coping with prison.
“They’re hanging in there. It’s a terrible situation,” their sonChase Chrisleyrecently toldExtra. “The conditions [of their prisons] are awful and if you read all these headlines they say the polar opposite, but it is not the truth and we’re going to be spreading a lot of awareness to that as well.”
But Savannah, 26, saidshe still has “so much hope” for her parentsdespite the hardship they’ve faced.
“I know that they’re going through what they’re going through for us to make a difference, for us to make a change,” she previously said on her podcast. “Because whether this appeal works or not, they’re still coming out with a story.”
