As reported earlier by another poster, we can all celebrate one feel-good story today:
"Britt Reid pleaded guilty in September of 2022 to driving while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury to a six-year old girl who suffered from a traumatic brain injury, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
The charge carried a maximum penalty of seven years in prison, but prosecutors agreed to ask for a maximum sentence of four years in prison. Britt's attorneys sought probation, while the injured girl's family opposed the plea deal entirely.
Last March, however, Missouri Governor Mike Parson commuted the remainder of Britt's sentence to house arrest, which is slated to continue until October 31, 2025, with requirements that include weekly meetings with a parole officer, counseling and community service. Britt had been expecting to be released about eight weeks later."
That's some pretty tough challenges that Britt is facing with courage, and I'm sure we're all glad that his ordeal will end next October. And maybe that family of the little girl who suffered the life-altering injury can finally end their whining.
Maybe they can send the family a whole bunch of Chief's swag or something.
