yeah but drivers license suspended indefinitely, and there are witnesses who say the guy killed might have partially been at fault too. apparently he kinda jumped out in front of donte to cross the street, and donte didn't see him.

It's not that he's famous it's that he's rich and rich people get unfair treatment. The short sentence is reportedly attributed to the family wanting to put this behind them, Stallworth's complete cooperation with the investigation and probably by the settlement but with all of that said this is bs.

I was not surprised but I was upset by this news but Leonard Little only got 90 days in jail for the same crime but I can pretty much guarantee Stallworth's suspension will be longer than 8 games due to Goodell. DUI's and DUI manslaughter's are taken far too lightly by the public and courts. Kill a person due to your obvious negligence and get a couple months or less, dogfight and kill dogs on purpose get 2 years. Where is the public outrage that I saw towards Vick? Where is M.A.D.D.?

Maybe he would have saw a grown man in the street had he NOT been drinking all night than get behind the wheel of a 2 ton machine..

Dude, I can't believe it either.

30 days for killing someone when you are drunk???? I don't care how much the family got paid this is ridiculous.

Contrast this with the guy who killed that Angels 22 year old pitcher (Adenheart sp?) and 2 others. Granted that guy had a history of DUIs and killed 2 other people. Still he is going a way for the rest of his life and he is only 22 years old.

Stallworth gets 30 days???? Vick got worse for killing dogs?

People always joke that the rich can get away with murder, after this is not just a joke it is the truth.

laters,

As some people stated, it's absurd, but he cooperated with the authorities and legal proceedings and seemed deeply remorseful. I still don't see the same level of outrage from groups like MADD. Why not? But PETA was all over Michael Vick. I guess dogs have more value than humans now.

But then again the Humane Society, who is a respectable animal rights organization was not all over Vick, they said a few things while PETA who is lead by a bunch of nuts who seem to do anything for publicity even at the cost of making themselves look crazy, attacked him once the allegations surfaced, so maybe we just got use to the reaction of the crazies but still I would have expected something from MADD.

Not that I condone drunk driving but I don't blame Stallworth for the accident. To be honest based on the facts the guy was trying to cross the causeway just past Star Island that is like a highway and usually people are going much faster than 50mph and I'm talking about alot of cars I would dread the day that I have to cross that street but they did put in a cross walk and a light for it and that is one road you should not attempt to cross without it.

That is the pedestrians fault and the only reason Stallworth is getting anything and I mean anything is because he was above the alcohol legal limit. If he wasn't this wouldn't be an issue and the defense had a good case that's why the deal is what it is. It's not like if he did something crazy like swerved onto a sidewalk or ran a light and hit the guy in the crosswalk.

Bottom line is if you drive drunk and kill someone you deserve to be in jail for more than 30 days..

Stallworth is to blame, partially, but so is Mr. Reyes. He ran across a highway to catch a bus. He was not in the crosswalk, Donte flashed his lights to try & warn him but by then it was too late. Stallworth should not have been driving drunk but the guy shouldn't have been just running across the street either. Donte got only 30days because he was fully co-operative, called 911, & submitted to alcohol tests knowing he would fail. He maned up in the situation & something has to be said about that.

As for Vick's sentence, that was entirely different. Stallworth got in an accident. Vick used, abused, & killed not 1, but dozens of dogs in an ILLEGAL dog fighting business. That's pre-meditated & much more telling of a person's character, than a guy accidentally killing someone drunk driving.

Killing a person because of your negligence is worse then intentionally killing dogs. He was driving drunk, which is also illegal, and chances are he knew it when he got in the car so although he didn't try to kill Mr. Reyes he at least already knew he was breaking the law. Honestly character has nothing to do with it and it's the severity of the crime which should be punished not character and I honestly feel worse about anyone willing to risk other people's lives and in this case killing one then I do about someone who was dog fighting.

It is easier to understand how someone could get into dog fighting, while still the individual's fault for breaking the law it is likely a result of being introduced to it as acceptable. Dog fighting is legal in many countries, on the other hand DUI manslaughter is not acceptable anywhere. I love animals but their lives aren't nearly as valuable as humans and our court system should treat this as if it were the case.

I wouldn't say killing a person out of negligence is far worse than intentionally killing dogs in an unbelievably cruel manner. Sure killing a human is far worse, but we're talking about an accident here where there was negligence on both sides which is what I was trying to get across. In Vick's case, it's all on him. He knew it was wrong, continued to do it, profit off it, & really felt no remorse for anything he did. Even if he was brought up around it, he knew what he was doing & did it for a long time. Stallworth made a horrible decision that cost a man his life & he completely owned up to it. Vick repeatedly broke the law everyday that he had the dog fighting ring going. There is a difference, that's all I was trying to say.

Do I think Stallworth shoulda gotten more than 30days? Of course! But I admire the fact that he took complete ownership of the situation & tried to do everything to make it right, even though there's no way to ever make it completely right.
