The family wants him to face the strongest possible charges, and who can blame them?

The DA is waiting on the tox results, then he will (I am sure) be charged.  The DA made some comments that were somewhat ill-advised about this being a "likely" DUI (ill-advised because that can in some jurisdictions be seen as tainting the jury pool).

The civil suit will undoubtedly be significant.  I hope he has some really big insurance policies.

This is sad. 

He should come forward on his own and offer a settlement. 

As far as jail time, not sure that is going to help. With most people with issues like this, it takes more than jail time for them to hit their rock bottom. 

If he has a criminal attorney that attorney would not let him offer anything.  Not to mention this little girl is facing tens of millions of dollars in medical costs over her lifetime, I highly doubt he has the assets to make her that kind of offer.

If the family has an attorney representing them my bet is they try to sue KC and force them to settle it out of court.  They have several theories they could file under.  The only way to sue KC though is to keep Reid as a defendant for now.

Then why does Biden want to make it so gun manufacturers can be sued when one of their products are misused? I'm not saying you're wrong, but alcohol kills and ruins WAY more lives than guns and you'll never hear for a call to ban all alcohol.

Back to the topic at hand. I think we can all agree this dude needs to be in jail for a long time.

I’m not going to get into what Biden or any politician does. I don’t tend to think the same way they do. But fact of the matter is you can’t ban something simply for the fact that a portion of the population abuses it.


Are we going to ban cars because some people are reckless behind the wheel? Why not ban the internet because some folks use it for child pornography? Ban fast food because it’s bad for you and some people overeat? See my point?

I do love the over-glorification, though. Read the article.

Starting with the thread title-

"Child injured by Britt Reid has permanent brain injuries"

"Family says girl injured in Britt Reid crash has permanent brain injuries"

"Tom Porto, the attorney speaking on behalf of 5-year-old Ariel Young’s family,-'She likely has permanent brain damage' "

Which is it?

Can't sue KC.

I know a guy who was hit by lightning and and was touch-and-go to survive for for a week and was in a coma...when he came out of it the doctors (not the lawyer) told his parents he would have permanent brain damage --- he recovered 100% and has lived a very productive life in the 30 years since.

The brain has an amazing ability to recover and adapt...

...for the sake of this young lady let's hope the medical opinion being rendered by this lawyer proves to be incorrect.

Bars can be sued for giving the person alcohol so it's the same thing. Right or wrong it's basically the same thing. Actually in SC all restaurant who serve have to carry 2 million in insurance for that exact reason because even if you serve 1 drink to a person and they harm someone it's your fault.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
