Reid, the son of Chiefs Coach Andy Reid, was charged after a Feb. 4, 2021, crash near Arrowhead Stadium that critically injured a 5-year-old girl. Reid pleaded not guilty in June. The trial was rescheduled after discussion during a brief hearing Friday concerning the availability of toxicology reports and some expert witnesses. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Fan Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It's ridiculous because there is no reason that it should take 18 months to get something like this to trial. A speedy trial should be the norm. - Delays are bad for a defendant if they happen to be innocent because it drags out the time that the sword of Damocles is hanging over their head. - It is bad for a plaintiff it they happen to be right because it drags it out and does not give them closure.

Likely the DA agreed to the postponement. Yes, likely the DA agreed with the postponement. A factor in continuing trial is whether the passage of time would change anything, like the evidence, witness memories, etc. Priority is given for several other things, like people in custody (not out on bail) or whatever else the jurisdiction prioritizes. The DA is not gonna draw a line in the sand for a routine case like this. It would look like the DA was grandstanding for attention if there is really no other reason to oppose the continuance.

Just juggling the schedules of the lawyers, the parties, the witnesses and everyone else involved can slow things to a crawl. A billable hour is when a lawyer spends an hour of their time working on the client's case and yes, they do get paid for that just like mechanics, doctors, plumbers and electricians. The reason people pay for that work is because as with plumbers, its worth it. As for speedy trials, everyone willing to quadruple the taxes already paid every year to keep the courts functioning at a faster pace, raise your hand.

(like, in this case, a speed survey, accident history kept by the government for that location, vehicle repair info, video from the chiefs' building, and motions to exclude all sorts of things, a motion for site view [packing all the jurors into a bus to go visit the site because its important for some reason or another]) And in crim, we dont worry about witness schedules much.

Missouri is one of a handful of states that allows unlimited depositions in criminal cases. There is plenty of discovery going on, especially where expert witnesses are concerned and in a case like this, there are always experts. Courts routinely change schedules for experts which is why so many are videotaped which takes forever to complete. Caseloads backed up during covid related closures have to be a nightmare. It's a shame that it takes so long but I haven't heard any brilliant solutions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, our view from reading headlines, ignorant of the details, makes us far better judges of these matters than the actual, real live judges. Come on, Mickey. With a wave of the hand are you going to just dismiss all of my experiences over the last several decades? I get that these are my experiences and not yours and, since you don't know me, you should not necessarily take my word as gospel, but that also means you should not dismiss them out of hand. I also realize that I have an unusual amount of experience in this area (although it is not much of stretch - all you have to do is know a couple of people with bad divorces and know someone starting a company). That is one of the reasons why I commented. I am not a prolific commenter. Far from it, but I have lived this. I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are in earnest. I will give you one example. Someone I know is part of a start up company and I am a little more than tangentially involved. We have a product that is significantly better than our competitors and one of them filed a spurious lawsuit against us. It is ridiculous and unfounded. Interestingly they did not sue us in our state, but in the same state as one of their locations. We find out that, essentially, there is a friendly relationship between the judge and the execs of that company. We file to change the venue. Their CEO has a home address in a different state and so they argue that it is already on neutral ground. We finally win and get the venue moved. The process starts again there. Our competitor then withdraws the lawsuit before any judgment could be made against them. A month later they refile the lawsuit in federal court and the process starts up again. We are deep in the process there and we file for a dismissal. Despite all the evidence we present, the judge does not dismiss. The burden of proof is on us for a dismissal and that is hard to do because the competitor is purposely playing their cards close to the vest. It should have been dismissed, but wasn't. Well, you should counter sue. Yeah, maybe, but then the burden of proof that this was a malicious lawsuit once again falls on us and that is very hard to prove. Attempting it opens up an entirely different case and doubles your legal fees. In this case, through some of my bad experiences and through some of the contacts we have made we have developed some trustworthy contacts. We got what I believe is a really good business trial lawyer. Still, we have already had to pay out $75K and we haven't gone to trial yet. The process has dragged out over years and, as a start up, we don't have that money, but we have to find it somehow. They are trying to bleed us out. This is just one example I can give you about how our system is broken. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Again, I am going to assume that you are in earnest and that you have just never been exposed to the dark side of our legal system. I know there are good lawyers. I wish I lived in a world where I could trust the authority structures above me. I wish I could trust judges and lawyers and politicians, but our legal system has serious flaws. 57 minutes ago, bigduke6 said: the justice system works differently for those of means or celebrity. Exactly. It is a pay to play system. If you have lots of cash, it seriously works to your advantage....and delay is a go to tactic that money can pay for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid means nothing as it’s the legal process and you are telling me that’s common to discuss in the football forum? How does that have any relevance to football? It’s a court decision: you can like it or not but it’s not related to x’s / o’s and has no impact on the field. How is it bs? What FACT are you basing that on , what precedent , what articles support that “ opinion” ? You are making an opinionated legal judgement. It’s our system , and that’s not a football topic. A little double standard , as you flag other opinions! Power is a dangerous thing with subjectivity. Lol! Yes, other teams are talked about , relative to football , production or players values. But just saying a legal decision is “ BS “ as an opinionated topic has usually been things not tolerated , unless you happen to be a mod ! There are actually topics great topics chiefs related to roster etc ; a court decision about a non player , an insignificant coach with family ties is hardly topic worthy. How does it matter other than someone thinking it would not happen without influence. Welcome to the real world, ; that’s not news as sept is still before the main part of the season and for all you know he will be in jail. Enlighten me how that impacts football.

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Any plea deals with a repeat offender like Reid should include a condition that if they are convicted of another DUI offense once released, they face automatic life in prison without parole. That may weed out the ones that are just faking remorse to get the shortest sentence. If you are truly changed and remorseful, there should be 0% that you drive drunk again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn’t keep handing him jobs and, subsequently, pay, then daddy’s boy would have had to scrounge for his drug and alcohol money. To your point, this case illustrates a few disgusting realities of society. First, nepotism is rampant. Like you said, this guy never should have been an NFL coach if he didn’t have daddy. The case also illustrates that if you have money, you’ll get away with almost anything. I’d be shocked if this guy did more than a couple months in the cushiest jail daddy’s lawyer can find. Repeat offender, should be locked up for a long time. And finally, you mentioned the family should sue the Chiefs organization. The Chiefs have settled with the family for an undisclosed amount.

Andy Reid is a ***** clown. A ***** show of a human being. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
