BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Friday morning, 23-year-old Walter Brister tried to avoid our cameras as he walked with his attorney and his father, former NFL player "Bubby" Brister, after receiving 3 years probation instead of a 10-year prison sentence. His lawyer, John McLindon, said he wouldn't talk to us if we confronted Brister about receiving probation, but we pressed Brister anyway for a response to the sentence. "The family of the victim feels that you should have gotten prison time. Do you have any response to do you have any response to that?" asked reporter John Rupolo. Brister just shook his head and kept walking. In 2022, Brister was driving on Ben Hur Road near Burbank in Baton Rouge near LSU when he hit Jude Jarreau attempting to cross the street. The father of two died at the scene. Brister kept driving and later turned himself in to the police. Brister pleaded guilty in September to felony hit and run.
