Todd and Julie Chrisley 'victimized' Nanny Faye by asking her to 'take the stand and lie,' prosecutors say

• The Chrisleys asked their mother to lie on the stand.

• At the sentencing hearing, there were allegations.

• There was no evidence that the couple influenced Chrisley to testify.

The federal prosecutor said that Elizabeth "Faye" Chrisley lied on the stand at her son and daughter-in-law's trial.

At the reality TV couple's Monday sentencing for their yearslong scheme in which they defrauded banks and the IRS, the assistant US Attorney said that they used her to help further their crime.

The USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best" stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of a range of conspiracy and fraud charges.

The couple tried to use Todd Chrisley's mother's name to open their bank account when they realized their fraud scheme was collapsing.

Chrisley, who is known as Nanny Faye on the show, told prosecutors she didn't know why she was listed as the account's owner and that she didn't read the documents before signing them.

Chrisley told Peters in June that she had never been involved with anything except being a signer. I don't own it. I don't like it.

Peters recalled that she and Julie Chrisley went to the bank to put her name on the account, but returned the next day to change it back.

Julie Chrisley never went back to the bank the next day after a bank employee testified that the bank wouldn't accept altered documents.

Donna Cash was accused of perjury by Peters.

Mark Braddock, Cash's boss, turned the Chrisleys in after she lied about the health of the company.

She stopped making up documents when the Chrisleys' home was on the verge of being foreclosed.

Cash testified at trial that he did some bad things but he wouldn't do that again.

The Chrisleys' defense attorneys said there was no evidence that their clients told witnesses what to say.

Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The woman was sentenced to seven years.

Three years of supervised release will be served by both of them.

Peters told the court that the Chrisleys are a walking crime wave.
