After the family brought on new attorney Jay Surgent of Weiner Law

Group LLP this year, he told PEOPLE in late July that they "did our
final filings" earlier that month.
"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," Surgent
previously 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."

Amid Todd and Julie's time behind bars, Savannah — who is currently
caring for younger siblings Grayson, 17, and Chloe, 10 — has stepped
into prison reform activism while continuing to fight for her parents'
return home.
"This has been quite the journey," she explained to PEOPLE last
month. "I like to say I was tone-deaf to the system. I'm not sitting here
saying I am the most knowledgeable person when it comes to that. So
what I have done is I've taken my hurt that I've experienced and I'm
trying to take that hurt and make it effective instead of allowing it to
eat at me."
Savannah continued, "I see men and women that are suffering every
single day and these families that are suffering. And unfortunately, we
live in a world that's so quick to throw people away because we can
always get someone new. I absolutely hate that because these men and
women need people to fight for them too. And there is no reason why
they should be treated the way that they're treated and people need to
pay more attention to it."
