Seems to me that getting a whopping 3 years for slamming drunk into a vehicle and damn near killing a kid oughta not elicit a 'woah, that's pretty harsh' from anyone.
Get drunk and smash into a kid....3 years.
Get caught with some coke...to the GALLOWS!

And realistically, 3 years for Britt Reid isn’t the same as 3 years for one of us.
He’s set for life regardless with generational wealth headed his way someday (if not immediately).
This isn’t like someone going to prison for 3 years then struggling to find employment and how to support himself in all aspects of society. [Reply]

Honestly, it’s a bit of a bad look for Andy.
It wreaks of the governor doing a favor for the coach’s son. I’d expect Andy to get plenty of questions about this.
Easy to say when it’s not my son obviously, but Britt really needed to serve his time. [Reply]
While having the last year of a 3 year bit converted to house arrest is a bad look, just like him only getting 3 years was a bad look, I don't know why people are jumping to the conclusion that Andy or Clark worked some sort of a backroom deal for this. Parsons could have just done this on his own. [Reply]
