The mother of the young girl severely injured in a 2021 crash involving former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid is unhappy over his sentence being commuted.
Reid, the son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, pled guilty to driving while intoxicated causing bodily injury in September 2022 and sentenced to three years in prison. Now he won’t spend a day there.
His wreck injured six people including then-five-year-old Ariel Young who sustained a traumatic brain injury, was in a coma for 11 days and spent two months in hospital.
The mother of Young is now breaking her silence.“We didn’t get (any) justice,” Felicia Miller told ESPN’s Xuan Thai.
“We went to court, we [were] told, you’re going to get justice,” Miller said in her first comments since the commutation. “He’s put away for a year and about three months. So we didn’t get [any] justice. It’s not enough.
“I know they say sometimes you have to forgive and forget to move on,” said Miller. “But looking at my baby every day and seeing my daughter, how she has to live, and then seeing how he could be back at home, comfortable.”
Miller believes Reid will continue with his bad behavior since he is facing zero consequences.
“He keeps just getting a little slap on a wrist when you keep just letting somebody get away, get away, get away. They’re going to continue to do it,” Miller said.
Reid will serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until October 31, 2025.
“If it was reversed, it would have been a completely different situation,” Miller said. “If I was drunk and slammed into [Reid’s] car. He had his child in the car and his child was injured, it would have been over for me. My whole life would have been over.”
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, who is a longtime Chiefs season ticket-holder holder, is the man who shortened the prison sentence.
It all began when Reid was driving his truck near Arrowhead in February 2021 when he suddenly struck two vehicles that had stopped along the side of the highway. He had a blood alcohol content of 0.113 and was driving 84 mph in a 65 mph zone at the time of the incident.
Young suffered “life-threatening injuries” and a “severe traumatic brain injury, a parietal fracture, brain contusions and subdural hematomas,” according to court documents.
Reid was a linebackers coach for the Chiefs at the time of the crash and would be released by the team shortly after the incident.
