Stallworth gets 30 Days

[Antitrust32]

guess the victims daughter wanted it all over already..

but he did also get 2 years house arrest (which hopefully will be a REAL house arrest where he cant even leave the house for work)... 8 years probation... 1,000 hours community service and a lifetime license suspention (no more cruisin drunk in the Bentley).

He also settled with the family so it doesnt go to civil court (wonder how much he paid up?)

Still should have got at least a year behind bars, but for some reason our country lets you get off big time if you admit guilt and feel remorse. I dont think admitting anything or being sorry should make a difference in ANY type of crime, but in the USA its a-okay.

"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."

I really dont understand how the bolded makes a difference.

It shouldn't. Basically he offered a ton of money to the family of the victim in exchange for their pressing authorities to go lenient on him. Trust me, you could have done the same thing, been remorseful about it, and would still be spending a long time in jail.

The DA is the one who should be doing time if not at least fired here.

For whatever reason, she seems to think involuntary manslaughter under the influence of alcohol while driving a motor vehicle is punishable by 3 months incarceration. This is so far away from the norm it warrants further explanation including but not limited to a request of the record of other cases that have been handled in this manner by this DA.

what about Godell , not that anything he does will bring back a human life , but can't he impose a suspension and keep Stallworth off the field

He just gave Marshawn Lynch 3 games for having a gun in his trunk. Let's see what they do with Stallworth but if it isn't at least 8 games for killing a man then it's a travesty and really it should be a full season at the least.

i would think anything less than 1-2 full years would be a bad message from the commissioners office - godell has to step up to the plate here big time (assuming he can w/o union issues)

plaxico needs to hire stallworths lawyers-or maybe try to get a change of venue down to fla.
