The mother of the young girl injured in the 2021 crash involving former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid told ESPN she still hasn’t forgiven him for the crash and was shocked when Missouri Gov. Mike Parson commuted Reid’s sentence after 16 months in prison.
“We went to court, we [were] told, you’re going to get justice,” Felicia Miller told ESPN in an exclusive interview, her first since the March 1 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.”
Reid, the son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, served 16 months of a three-year sentence after pleading guilty to felony driving while intoxicated resulting in serious physical injury. According to prosecutors, Reid was driving about 84 mph in a 65 mph zone when he hit two parked cars near Arrowhead Stadium in February 2021. Six people were injured, including Miller’s then-5-year-old daughter Ariel Young, who sustained a traumatic brain injury, was in a coma for 11 days and spent two months in a hospital.
