Todd Chrisley has suffered another legal loss.
托德·克里斯利又遭受了一次法律损失。

The former Chrisley Knows Best star, who is currently incarcerated after being found guilty of financial fraud, has been ordered to pay $755,000 to Georgia Department of Revenue investigator Amy Doherty-Heinze after slandering her on podcasts and social media.
在播客和社交媒体上对艾米·多尔蒂-海因茨进行诽谤后,这位前克里斯利知道最好的明星目前因被判犯有金融诈骗罪而被监禁,并被要求向佐治亚州税务局调查员艾米·多尔蒂-海因茨支付75.5万美元。

An eight-person Georgia jury on Thursday found Chrisley, 55, liable for two claims of libel and slander but not liable on a third claim of slander. Doherty-Heinze was awarded $350,000 in compensatory damages, $170,000 in punitive damages, and $235,000 in attorney fees from the reality TV personality and Atlanta-based businessman.
周四,一个由8人组成的乔治亚州陪审团裁定,55岁的克里斯利对两项诽谤和诽谤指控负有责任,但对第三项诽谤指控不负有责任。多尔蒂-海因策从这位真人秀明星和亚特兰大商人那里获得了35万美元的补偿性损害赔偿,17万美元的惩罚性损害赔偿和23.5万美元的律师费。

Doherty-Heinze had alleged that in 2020, Chrisley "began a social media campaign against the GDOR and certain of its employees, contending that the investigation was illegal and improperly motivated" when the department investigated Chrisley and wife Julie's tax evasion in 2017, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.
根据《人物》获得的文件,多尔蒂-海因策声称,2020年,克里斯利“在社交媒体上发起了一场针对GDOR及其某些员工的运动,称该部门在2017年调查克里斯利和妻子朱莉的逃税行为时,调查是非法的,动机是不正当的”。

Chrisley's attorney Leesa Guarnotta said Wednesday in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, "Although we are pleased the jury recognized that not all of Mr. Chrisley’s statements were defamatory and awarded the plaintiff a fourth of the damages she requested, we are concerned about the state of the First Amendment where such a case could make it to trial in the first place. We are optimistic about our appeal."
克里斯利的律师Leesa Guarnotta周三在《娱乐周刊》的一份声明中说:“尽管我们很高兴陪审团认识到并非所有克里斯利先生的言论都是诽谤,并判给原告她所要求的四分之一的损害赔偿,但我们担心第一修正案的状态,这样的案件可能首先进入审判。”我们对自己的吸引力持乐观态度。”

Doherty-Heinze's attorney Nicole Jennings Wade told EW that her client was "thrilled with the verdict in her favor. She is thankful to the federal jury who vindicated her and who found on every count that Todd Chrisley's accusations against her were false and defamatory. Amy is particularly pleased that the jury further found that Mr. Chrisley acted with actual malice and a specific intent to harm her. She hopes that this verdict will help deter Mr. Chrisley from targeting other innocent people in the future."
多尔蒂-海因策的律师妮可·詹宁斯·韦德告诉《娱乐周刊》,她的当事人“对判决对自己有利感到非常兴奋”。她感谢联邦陪审团为她平反,并发现托德·克里斯利对她的每一项指控都是虚假和诽谤的。艾米特别高兴的是陪审团进一步认定克里斯利先生的行为具有实际恶意和伤害她的特定意图。她希望这一判决将有助于阻止克里斯利先生在未来针对其他无辜的人。”

Doherty-Heinze had alleged that Chrisley "began attacking [her] and accusing her of a multitude of crimes and wrongdoing," and that he made more than 20 defamatory statements about her, including that she destroyed evidence, illegally utilized the Georgia Crime Information Center in an investigation, and vacationed at Walt Disney World using taxpayer money, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
据《亚特兰大宪法报》报道,多尔蒂-海因策声称克里斯利“开始攻击她,并指控她犯下了许多罪行和不当行为”,他对她发表了20多项诽谤言论,包括她销毁证据,非法利用乔治亚州犯罪信息中心进行调查,以及使用纳税人的钱去迪斯尼世界度假。

The plaintiff had initially asked Chrisley to retract his allegedly defamatory statements; when he declined to do so, she filed her lawsuit against him.
原告最初要求克里斯利收回他所谓的诽谤性言论;当他拒绝这样做时,她对他提起了诉讼。

Chrisley is currently serving a 10-year sentence in federal prison after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022. He testified remotely from prison during the weeklong trial.
克里斯利于2022年被判银行欺诈和逃税,目前正在联邦监狱服刑10年。在为期一周的审判中,他在监狱远程作证。
