Summary

Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid was sentenced to three years in prison after accepting a plea deal for nearly killing a five year old girl while driving drunk.  It's over,  as Reid went straight from the courtroom to jail.  As Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports wrote, Reid was a ticking time bomb in Kansas City that went off 20 months ago.   But the drama continued to the very last moment as little Ariel Young appeared in the room for the sentencing and Britt Reid spoke to her during the proceedings.  Afterwards, the family is reportedly "outraged" at the sentence despite the fact they settled with the Chiefs for millions of dollars months ago.  This is a complex story.  It's a tragic story for everyone involved.  It should never have happened.  How a known addict like Britt Reid was drinking at work is simply beyond belief.  This podcast was originally for Patrons only but it's too emotional to do more than once.  So we decided to  share it with all of you.

Well, it's over with former Chiefs Coach Britt Reid as he is in jail. He's incarcerated right now as we record this podcast on Tuesday afternoon, November 1st.

0:10.5

Britt Reid has been sentenced to three years in jail after the car accident where he nearly took the life of little Ariel Young, who was then five years old, and suffered brain

0:22.0

damage and permanent disability. It has been a long road, as you know, that was well over a

0:29.8

year and a half ago, and Britt Reid struck a plea deal a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks

0:35.0

ago in September, made sure he would not be going to jail for

0:38.1

any more than four years. Family was none too happy with that, but the judge in the sentencing

0:43.0

today sentenced Britt Reed to three years in prison. It was pretty dramatic in the courtroom as

0:48.5

little Ariel Young was there. They remanded him into custody. It took him right into custody.

0:53.5

As soon as the sentencing was over, so Britt Reid is in jail.

0:56.8

Three years of the sentence, one would assume that he'd get out earlier than that on good behavior.

1:01.3

This will not be a pleasant experience for Britt Reid. He has had a tumultuous and difficult life.

1:09.6

We have chronicled his drug problems, his addiction problems, his dealing drugs problems, his crime problems. And now his DUI, he's had gun charges. Look, Britt Reed and his late brother have had very, very, very bad lives.

1:30.7

They've done a lot of bad things that have hurt other people.

1:34.8

And we hope Britt Reid is learning from this now, that this will be the end of it,

1:39.1

that he'd be substance free when he gets out of jail,

1:42.3

he gets out of prison whenever that is.

1:45.4

He was taken into the Jackson County courthouse and he's going away for three years. This is a, as I mentioned, a dramatic

1:51.6

proceeding today. They requested from the media to please not show Ariel Young's face. She was in the

1:58.7

courtroom. And what happened was simply this. As she was there and

2:04.5

walking in, there were her mother and another person on each side of her holding one arm,

2:09.7

helping her walk, but it looked like she was moving her legs pretty good. It didn't show her head,

2:13.6

her face, or anything like that that's been taken out of this thing. But they thought it important to go there with Eric Young, more on the family in a moment because they're apparently outraged by the outcome of this. I'm not. I know a lot of people that thought Britt Reed, as a high profile and really rich guy would find his way to game the system and not spend any prison time. That did not happen. He's been sentenced to three years in
