Missouri Governor's Controversial Commutation of Britt Reid's Sentence Sparks Outrage

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker criticized Missouri Governor Mike Parson's decision to commute the sentence of former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid, who pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and causing a crash that seriously injured a child. She believed the original 3-year prison sentence was just and criticized the governor for failing to contact the victim's family before commuting Reid's sentence, emphasizing the importance of justice regardless of social status or privilege.
