“So [I] don’t know at this point in time, but they should be getting two points a piece for that. So that’ll further reduce their sentences.”
Surgent also said he is working on the “Chrisley Knows Best” alums’ appeals.

The attorney’s comments come hours after Todd and Julie’s sentences were each shortened by more than a year, according to federal prison records obtained by Page Six Friday.
The dad of five will now be released from Florida’s Federal Prison Camp Pensacola on Jan. 22, 2033 — which is two years shy of his original 12-year sentence.
Meanwhile, Julie will be released from Kentucky’s Federal Medical Center Lexington on Oct. 19, 2028, 14 months short of her seven-year sentence.
