“There is so much fear in my life right now pertaining to Mom’s resentencing on the 25th that I don’t know what to do. And I don’t want to jeopardize her freedom because of things that I say,” Savannah said during the Tuesday, Sept. 24, episode.

“Now, I have been very, very open and honest about my feelings and where I stand, and the injustices,” she continued. “But when it comes to her whereabouts and her treatment and all of those things, I have to be careful before her resentencing because the rest of our lives are in the hands of this federal judge, so anything that I say can be held against me and my family.”
