wow has this been posted? just on espn, pleaded guilty for manslaughter charge, 30 days in jail and worked out a deal with the family so there is no lawsuit. very shocking.

He's not some violent murderer, his true punishment is the anguish he'll feel for the rest of his life knowing he's killed someone, imo.
Everything I've read about this has been about him reaching out the the family & his genuine remorse. Sad story for all involved, there's no winners/losers here. -

i wonder what plaxico and vick are thinking right now
wait wtf, i dont care how much he reaches out, he drove his 6 figure car drunk into a guy and killed him. being sorry and helpful doesnt make it ok...if thats the case, shouldnt everyone go free? id say 99% of dui offenders that killed someone probably feel pretty fucking awful. But its our fault we arent all millionaires -

I'm sure league suspension will be more than 6 games (Marshall fine for banging on a taxi window like a madman) but less than vicks ban since it's first issue... Obv the league will want him to be able to pay the family. Obv will pull a hami first game back and go on ir as per NFL agreement then get cut in offseason and resign with raiders for $50 mill.

If you're the victims family would you rather have Stallworth continue playing and receive million in restitution or would you rather have this drag out in court and have Stallworth serve a couple years in prison?
Like the previous poster said, there are no winners here. Keep in mind DUI cases are rarely open and shut and with the right lawyer you can often get around anything. -

if someone runs over my family member drunk i could care less about getting any money or restitution. all i want is him to never do anything he can enjoy again. you dont just get drunk and run over someone im related to and think money is going to fix it. i guess i value family a little bit, what a weird person i am.

The victim's family wanted money not punishment or retribution, apparently. Might be harder to get money from him if he is locked up and unable to work. A civil settlement was reached also. The timing of resolving both cases at the same time is interesting.

How the fuck are Plaxico and Vick even reasonable comparisions here?
In Vick's case he showed absolutely no remorse until the writing was on the wall and was incredibly brazen about the whole situation. The majority of legal experts have said that if Vick had come clean from the start his sentence would have been way less
Plaxico is a complete life fuck up. If it wasn't a gun charge it would have been something else.
As I said in the previous Stallworth thread, there was absolutley no previous history of him having done anything wrong in his life. And also eyewitness accounts said that the guy that got ran over was trying to run across traffic and not like he got hit in a cross walk or anything. This isn't Leonard Little. -

ok so lets say he was running across the lanes...had stallworth been sober maybe his reaction time is faster and this doesnt happen. You do realize this is why people shouldnt drive drunk.

that is absolutely sickening.
he should get prison time like anyone else would. joe blow probably gets 20 years for the same crime. -
As if this matters, would you be happier if he had done so in a Hyundai?

I think we're just saying the alternative's worse. Personally it wouldnt' have shocked me if this went to court and it for some reason they have through on the field sobreity tests he gets off with nothing/family gets nothing or not as much.
