    How Can Stallworth Only Get 30 Days For DUI Manslaughter ?!?!

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9...I-manslaughter

    Ok, the max penalty for DUI manslaughter is 15 years, but he pleads guilty and gets 30 days, WTF ?!?! It says he agreed to a financial settlement with the family, they probably got a few million from him, but still, you can get drunk, jump behind the wheel and kill someone and only get 30 days ??? That just doesn't make sense.

    Is it just me or does that seem totally fucked up ???

          That kids who was an actor in the show Prison Break killed someone drunk driving and did a bit more time than that. Like 18 months maybe.

          Spend you some brain.

              I guess if you're going to kill people, kill them while drunk and with your car. Lesson learned kids this is the new way to murder people.

                      sounds like the fam got its palms greased, more solace for them to live well than to see him locked the fuck up

                          Stallworth faced 15 years in prison. After his release from jail, Stallworth must serve two years of house arrest and spend eight years on probation.

                          Stallworth also must undergo drug and alcohol testing, will have a lifetime driver's license suspension and must perform 1,000 hours of community service. Lyons said after five years, Stallworth could win approval for limited driving such as for employment.
                          30 days is pretty light but coupled with all that for a first offense plus having to cough up several million to the victim's family... all I can say is there better not be ANY type of second offense with this guy. If he fucks up again in any way he's sure to get something scary like at least a whole YEAR behind bars.




                          He'll keep his career in the NFL.

                                  Yeah, but now a chauffeur will drive him to the games.

                                      Apparently, the guy he hit was also had alcohol in his system, so it wouldn't have been a slam dunk conviction had it gone to trial.

                                          Maybe not, but consider if it were you. You hit, AND KILLLLLLLLLLLLL, someone while you're drunk in your car. Do you think you could plead guilty and get 30 days? ok then. No need to play around with it. He got off because he is a professional athlete.

                                              Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle cited Stallworth's lack of previous criminal record, cooperation with police and willingness to accept responsibility as factors in the plea deal. Rundle also said the Reyes family - particularly the victim's 15-year-old daughter - wanted the case resolved to avoid any more pain.

                                              "For all of these reasons, a just resolution of this case has been reached," Rundle said.

                                              None of the Reyes family attended the hearing. Their attorney, Rodolfo Suarez, read a statement saying the family wants to "bring closure to this emotional and tragic event." Suarez was not immediately available to comment after the hearing.

                                                          Have you ever seen an NFL players card? the ones the nfl players carry if they ever get in trouble? If you read the back, it basically asks police officers to use discretion and call a certain number. Your basically getting all kinds of free shit to let players go.

                                                              read the law.. the guy that got killed was contributory/negligent because he was jaywalking.

                                                              in florida thats grounds for the alcohol to not be factored in the same way it would be if he drove up on the sidewalk and killed someone..

                                                              i believe they are trying to have that law changed..

                                                                  There's also the fact that
                                                                  After his release from jail, Stallworth must serve two years of house arrest and spend eight years on probation.

                                                                  Stallworth also must undergo drug and alcohol testing, will have a lifetime driver's license suspension and must perform 1,000 hours of community service
                                                                  Yeah, a guy died and that's tragic, but it was an accident, the other guy was at least partly at fault, and the family was fine with the deal.
                                                                  People always want to cry about victim's rights or the rights of their families when they want to throw the book at a guy....but nobody seems to care about what the family wants when the family realizes it was an accident and wants to go easy on the guy.

                                                                  Mob mentality, isn't it fucking great?

If you read the back, it basically asks police officers to use discretion and call a certain number. Your basically getting all kinds of free shit to let players go.

                                                                      But I've never taken a dime of unemployment, never a dime of welfare, no free government cheese. I take some personal pride and try not to leech off anyone for anything. And I'd be thrown in jail so fast with no bail or chance of parole because nobody gives a shit and I couldnt pay people enough to let me out.

That dude Billy Lane that had the Custom Bike show on Discovery killed someone while drunk. I think he is going to get away with it too as they have already dropped several of the charges.

                                                                                                                  I haven't studied the case closely but considering the deal, it's likely that a sober driver wouldn't have been able to not kill this guy who ran out into the middle of the road.
                                                                                                                  I have followed this case fairly closely as my friend is a miami DA so I was interested to see what happend. Thanks for actually providing some sense to most of the others who dont know the circumstances. The fact is the victim darted out illegally into a major highway it wasnt a side street or whatever. Stallworth was over the limit and therefore was wrong but i dont think impaired greatly to where it was the reason for him hitting the guy. I beleive a sober person couldve just as easily hit this guy. If stallworth was sober this would be no case as the victim was in the wrong as well. I dont think many DA's in the country would want to try this case as I know my friend didnt.

If he fucks up again in any way he's sure to get something scary like at least a whole YEAR behind bars.

You hit, AND KILLLLLLLLLLLLL, someone while you're drunk in your car. Do you think you could plead guilty and get 30 days? ok then. No need to play around with it. He got off because he is a professional athlete.

Basics of the story leyritz was drunk and ran a red light and killed a driver who was also drunk but did nothing illegal besides being drunk. That case is still ongoing. The differnece in that case is that leyritz did break a traffic law by running the red light stallworth was going approx 10 over which is hardly a major traffic violation and with no assurance/evidnence that charge would never stand up in court.

I'm sure there are plenty of cases where a family loses a loved one to a drunk driving moron and ends up getting very little to nothing in the way of compensation for their loss. I'm sure most families would rather have their dad/husband/brother etc back instead of money, but it's probably not the receiving a pile of cash that's the focus but more about penalizing further the person who did it.

                                                                                                                                                  And like I'm trying to get through to you, in a case such as this the lawyers would be all over that 10 mph over while he was also over the limit. It would definitely work against him.

                                                                                                                                                  Why keep on arguing about it?

                                                                                                                                                          I'll say this much --- at least this guy has money, and insurance. I'm sure there are plenty of cases where a family loses a loved one to a drunk driving moron and ends up getting very little to nothing in the way of compensation for their loss. I'm sure most families would rather have their dad/husband/brother etc back instead of money, but it's probably not the receiving a pile of cash that's the focus but more about penalizing further the person who did it.
                                                                                                                                                          Of course they'd rather have him back....but if he was the breadwinner, then I'm sure he'd rather see that his kids are taken care of financially than see the other guy who was just was wrong as he was do 15 years of hard time.

                                                                                                                                                          It's just funny to watch the mob get all riled up and try to make things black and white when they're actually very complex and nuanced.

Thus the anger towards the measly 30 day sentence.

                                                                                                                                                                  I can understand that.

                                                                                                                                                                  Of course in looking at the complete picture it's a slightly different story, and as you (and I) basically said at least the dead guy's family is compensated and then some for whatever earnings the guy would have made them.

                                                                                                                                                                  Now if you'll excuse me I just put 10 shakes of tabaso on my chilifries, and am about to singe my taste buds. :D

Thus the anger towards the measly 30 day sentence.

                                                                                                                                                                      I can understand that.

                                                                                                                                                                      Of course in looking at the complete picture it's a slightly different story, and as you (and I) basically said at least the dead guy's family is compensated and then some for whatever earnings the guy would have made them.

                                                                                                                                                                      Now if you'll excuse me I just put 10 shakes of tabaso on my chilifries, and am about to singe my taste buds. :D
