"He’s just getting a slap on the wrist. If anybody else had did that, if we did that. If any of us hit his car being drunk and hit his car and injured one of his kids, we would’ve been in jail," she said.

Miller recounted the harrowing details of finding her daughter entangled in the backseat wreckage when Reid’s pickup truck slammed into her vehicle on an interstate entrance ramp in Missouri outside Arrowhead Stadium. Investigators said Reid was intoxicated going around 84 mph when the crash occurred.

"I was just freaking out and then finally, we find her, because she's buried under the seats," Miller said. "When I got her outta the car, she was stiff, she was just like a stiff board."
