I assume it might have included time served, so from the moment it happened.

Parsons is an asshat. **** both of them

In sentencing criminal history is always included as aggravating factors.

He really didn't get much of a deal. He would've been paroled soon anyway and now he has to do the rest of his sentence on house arrest, which a normal parolee would not have to do.

That's actually a really good point. It seems like most people in prison get out early if they're not an idiot in prison.

Parsons is a piece of shit

Are you forgetting that he's already been in prison before for driving related offenses including DUI and flashing a gun at someone in a road rage case? Both separate cases.

This dude is a lifetime loser.

Gov. Parsons can go eat AIDS.

Bad look but genius timing, starting with the late Friday news release. This will run its course through the news cycle and be completely forgotten about by the start of the next season. I imagine Britt will be keeping a low profile going forward.

Forgetting? No. Just unaware of any history.

For that matter, the list of commutations in the article has about 30 people on it, so it's not JUST political connections in play here.

This is pretty ****ing indefensible. If I was that little girl’s dad, I’d be outraged.

So if he didn't get much of a deal, why the **** do it?

It makes no sense to me.

No positives for anyone EXCEPT for Britt.

That's a bad political and moral decision.

Welcome to politics and money.

Try to hide it with a Friday release and comingle it with others.

That's so political.

Money makes the problems of a rich, entitled brat go away.

Welcome to how the world works! Population them, not us.

Yeah, a little context in the article would have been nice... makes it seem like it's totally random or shenanigans in the background, when it could have been a routine review/parole/whatever. Not that it matters a ton, but details are nice.

How dare you ask for context! We should all just rush to judgement!

It's definitely not routine. As someone who has worked in the legal field for a long time, I honestly don't know what real benefit is to him other than immediately getting out of prison a month or two early. It's a bad deal for him post release.

Wait - which part isn't routine?

It’s strange the timing of this in relation to the Chiefs trying to get public support for the April 2nd ballot initiative.

Not sure if it hurts public support, but it doesn’t help it.

Huh? He goes home nearly two years early. That's a pretty massive benefit even under house arrest.

Looks like he does this once a month

More than like that's what it is or very close to it. Nobody does the full amount of time they get sentenced for unless it's a life sentence and even a life sentence doesn't mean life most of the time. The only reason this is news is it's because of who he is.

Do you think people do their entire sentence in prison? Most are released after serving less than half.

Commutation of a sentence. It happens, but it isn't a routine part of the process.

Perks for winning 3 Super Bowls in 5 yrs. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is.

So here is what is really interesting to me is how the media plays in these things - the other two people that had their sentences commuted....you can't find hardly anything online about them

James Childress - the only thing I could find was a Brandon James Childress had been arrested for shooting someone and damaging their property in 2020 dunno if its the same guy.


Trina Berning - Not a single thing I can find that would even be close to her.

as I posted above - Governor Parsons does commutations and pardons once a month

So you don't think driving drunk and almost killing someone deserves a jail sentence?

Lol....

I didn't say that. I said I don't think it deserves a prison sentence...sans some pretty aggravating factors - like running from the police after just robbing a 70 year old woman at gun point....etc.

Now consider there are over 20000 people in prison in Missouri and there were three commutations last month. Trust me, it isn't routine.

Maybe I am naïve, but I don’t see this impacting the April 2 vote. Especially with this happening of full month beforehand. Memories and the news cycle are short these days.

Childress has 3 pages of charges on Case.net, just ck'd a couple and found forgery, drug possesion, and DWI.

I’d be happy if I never heard Britt Reid’s name again.

It is routine in the sense that they are conducted on a monthly basis. It. may not be common for someone to get a commutation but the fact he even entertains them as part of a routine process and not at the end of his executive stint is astonishing

https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/go...nce-the-1940s/

Just wait until parsons pardons Eric DeValkenaere that cop that murdered the innocent black man, that will be a shitstorm

Britt Reid got 3 years

Henry Ruggs got 3 years for killing and cooking a victim in their own car, he will probably be out and back on the raiders in 2 years

The only way this reflects poorly on Andy Reid or the Chiefs is if someone advocated and pressed for this. If Andy, his family, and no one affiliated with the team campaigned for this, then people can get bent.

I am not reading shit about the POS governor, so I am just going to assume Brit Reid was just a name on a list.

That was helpful thank you

Trina Berning -

Charge 1 - Possession Of Controlled Substance Except 35 Grams Or Less Of Marijuana - Class C Felony

Charge 2 - Dist/Del/Manf/Produce Or Attempt To Or Possess W/Intent To Dist/Del/Manf/Produce A Controlled Substance - Class B Felony

Charge 3 - Unlawful Use Of Drug Paraphernalia

Aggravating factors - Defendant is found to be a prior and persistent Drug Offender


This is fascinating:

Brandon James Childress

Domestic Assault - 3rd Degree - 1st/2nd Offense

Sentence: $250 Fine

08/28/2011
Driving While Revoked/Suspended - 1st Offense
Possession Of Up To 35 Grams Marijuana

Sentence: $550 fine

01/17/2015

Possession Of Controlled Substance Except 35 Grams Or Less Of Marijuana

Sentence: 4 years Probation - probation revoked 11/2018 - sentenced to 3 years incarceration in DOC, Incarcerated 04/11/19 to 04/11 22

BECAUSE

07/10/2018

Fraudulent Use Of Credit/Debit Device

I think if I'm reading this all correctly - the commutation would be for his supervised probation.

The governor is largely processing a backlog of clemencies that the previous regime didn't even review. Those are old cases on people that have remained out of the system for years.

That's interesting that the commutations today were for crimes committed in the last 5 years - doesn't seem like much of a backlog

Did you? Typically here in Missouri I've seen them be very harsh on DUI guys. Seen guys who's only trouble in life have been 3 or 4 non-accident duis get slammed by the parole board because MADD had a random rep in the hearing.

MADD must be out of pocket lining money.

Commutations and pardons aren't the same thing.

And considering I looked him up on doc offender search recently and he was already in Maryville, which is a go home in six months treatment camp, he was definitely getting out without house arrest before summer.

Side note, before that he was in Tipton, which is pretty cushy. In 2015 it was super boring, and i remember it being so non violent you could read a book outside and actually pay attention to it. And lots of shady trees on the yard, which was nice. However, right before I was released from doc custody in 2019(from a different camp) rumor was Family Values were getting most of their low level young idiot goons sent there and ran the SSGs off, so it's probably not so peaceful now. Hopefully those kids(although I'm not a fan of "prison gangs") made his life hell before he went to treatment.

Yes we have previously discussed this in the thread LMAO - Gov. Parsons has had to date 701 pardons and 24 commutations.

He did roughly half his time. I'm surprised he wasn't already being set up for early release without this deal. This deal seems like it'd actually complicate his life even more than just getting out early as usual as now he apparently has to do the rest of the time under house arrest instead of just under a paper.

It sounds cringe, but you could argue this is worse for him than what's normally considered as business as usual.

Not sure what point you're trying to make. I know the system very well and it is in no way routine for a guy in DOC on a 3 year DWI sentence to have his case reviewed by the governor for commutation, let alone succeed.

Hey guess what - MEEEE TOOO! I can tell you how many people the Governor of Colorado has Pardoned/Commuted sentences for last year 23 and the year before 24 and he announced them in December. Parsons does this on a monthly basis so I'd say it's pretty routine for his office. Now what I think you are trying to say is that its not common to get a commutation and I'd agree but the fact that he reviews requests for pardons and commutations (or rather his office does) on a monthly basis makes it pretty darn regular.

I'd also argue that it's not "common" for drug addict in possession of enough drugs (not marijuana) to warrant Distribution charges gets commuted either soooooooo

I don't care about the look. I care that it is the wrong thing to do. Clark and Andy should be ashamed. Im sure they had a part in sweeting the deal for the governor even if it was by just association.

No, I'm actually saying it's rare for an active DOC inmate to even have their case reviewed for commutation. Routine is going before the Board for your parole hearing that is scheduled by a formula depending on your charge, prior incarcerations, etc.

sons of prominent, famous men can usually get away with anything in this country.

Agreed. But somehow Britt managed with a dope chick 8 years into a 16 year sentence and a wife beating, no license driving, financial fraudster, pot head just starting his supervised parole/probation after being released from DOC.

Strange.

https://www.aol.com/chiefs-agree-com...%20every%20day.

It would be interesting to know the backstory on the other two. Probably some kind of extenuating circumstances or have some kind of connections.

I feel more concerned about those doing longer time, because they knew someone

THIS!

He ****ed up a little girl's life driving drunk. Almost killed her. Never to have a normal life. You should go to jail for at least 3 years.

We have people doing 13 years for murder, and mostly black men serving life in prison for weed.

Should has nothing to do with the American justice system.

If you think people get out early for who they know. What kind of time are they doing anyway if that's the case

Haven't seen any national media outrage over this yet. Is Florio on vacation?

You can break all sorts of laws if your family has money and influence. Just look at the pres...never mind

Well he did more time than the thug that chased people out of the gym with a gun and then months later shot up a parade

Think you have to look at it for what it is. DUI laws in the US, compared to other Western countries, are fairly relaxed. Even for DUI manslaughter you’re looking at less than 10 years. I was a witness to a crash that took two little girls. Most gut wrenching experience of my life. The guy who hit the van was legally drunk (partying at a brew house down the road for his 23rd b-day) and sentenced to six years. He was let out after 2.5 years. That was during Covid so sure it played a role, but wasn’t surprised. I’m not advocating for super strict sentences but man, if you’re drunk don’t drive.

Sources of outrage: CP and KCStar and local radio drama queen Dana Wright.

Other than that its not a thing really.

Yes, Reid should have spent time in prison, but careless parents that didn't have their kids in car seats should have taken some heat as well.

Britt Reid is a ****stain and should not get the benefit of the doubt. I don't care if his dad is a sweet jovial teddy bear.

Britt is a guy who was already running a drug ring out of his dads house. Now Im certainly willing to help ppl if its strictly substance abuse but he was also involved in a road rage incident where he pointed his gun at another motorist cuz he was mad.

Too many strikes for me.

Expect a lot of Negative Press - Britt Reid is out of prison
 

https://www.thedailybeast.com/ariel-...y-chiefs-coach

Not a good look. Not a long enough sentence.

Parsons just keeps letting this guy out onto the streets.

Breaking news: Chiefnj2 has been living in a cave for the past week.

We’ve landed on the moon!

Expect a lot of Negative Rep - Chiefnj2 reposts Britt Reid out of Prison AGAIN

He can't keep getting away with this.

Already prepared for drama…

https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...352582&page=10

Wait a minute. How many Britt Reids are there?

Isn't he still on house arrest and strict probation until 2025? He served longer than the minimum (I think, could be wrong) which is what the victim's family asked for. If he ****s up he goes back to jail.

Hey dumb ****er.... Reread my post. I said Britt Reid got everything he deserved and I'm fine if he would have spent all 3 years in prison. The parents were also shit stains for not having their kids buckled in car seats along the highway on a dark entrance ramp at night.... PERIOD.

What are the details behind that?

House arrest is nothing compared to prison.

Power of the Chiefs BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 years in prison would've been a joke, and this is even worse.

I hope he's fisted to death by an unmedicated Mike Tyson.

Did I miss the drama that came from this?
