For the sake of young people reading, it is possible to blow .11 after 3 drinks.here's a slightly more recent update:
Former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid appears in court on DWI charge
In the hearing, both Reid’s attorney, J.R. Hobbs, and the prosecution agreed they needed more time to prepare their case before setting a trial date.
This is just sad:
The article also includes a link to the actual charging documents. Reid had a .11 BAC two hours after the crash. Looking at some BAC charts, his claim that he had "3 drinks" is laughable. It was more likely at least 6.
Does this open the door for Tina Tintors' family to go after the Raiders? Personally I hope it does.
You might be right there. Even though this seems to be more about the Hunts doing right, it will be a precedent set. I have to pause and wonder about this though. Do victims now go after all employers of idiots who make stupid choices? I would have to think most business owners would not like this.
Davis went to the funeral. I doubt they will have to chase down money. Mark will most likely be very giving to the family.
Ex-Chiefs asst. Reid expected to enter guilty plea
Britt Reid, son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, is expected to plead guilty to felony driving while intoxicated causing serious injury, Jackson County (Missouri) Circuit Court records show. He faces up to seven years in prison.www.espn.com
I doubt that would ever win in court.
Pleading not guilty initially is not trying to beat the charges, neccessarily.
True, but to me it is a waste of court time and money. There really isn't much maneuvering on this one. He is guilty, he was drinking, and someone got seriously hurt. To me the better course of action for him is to plead guilty and try to show remorse hoping the courts have some mercy.
If you were ever to find yourself in trouble, hiring a lawyer to say to the judge, "yah, he's guilty. Throw the SOB in jail"
Absolute travesty that this guy gets a get out of jail free pass - I wonder If his family has influence with the governor. If he wasn’t rich, famous and well connected, no chance he would be pardoned. I would love to hear this shithead governor explain why he did this. There is truly no justice in the American “justice system“ - just one set of rules for the wealthy and well connected and another for everyone else.
That whole organization is corrupt.
It did say that he did 36 pardons last month.
