I think prison should be more about violent offenders, there are other ways to punish without prison that are more productive for society as a whole. He could be sentenced to 1000’s of hours of service etc. I just don’t think prison is the right answer. Now, jail is another thing. In CO you can only sentence up to two years in jail - probably the same in MO - but prison typically does not rehab people it makes them worse.

Did you see the pictures of the victim family's car? The collision was extremely violent.

What if he has a prior history of being a ****up when it comes to drugs, guns, alcohol, and now near vehicular manslaughter?

To be pedantic, it's more like served 1.5 years and now house arrest for 1.5 years (sentenced to 3 years in November 2022). But yes, you've got the gist correct.

Also, I'm pretty sure Andy was pushing for this, but I really ****ing hope he doesn't let him come back to work for the Chiefs in any role. Not even as a ball boy.

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.

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.

Granted, it was roughly 150 years ago but that man had no connections, money or anything. Lots of prisoners don't serve their full sentence.
