A little light? If it had been me I'd be rotting in prison. Money talks and BS walks.

Yeah I'm curious to see how this is handled by the NFL. To his credit he took accountability from the start. We all know if Vick had cooperated right away he would playing right now.

nice lawyer work

The sad part is that all the family cares about is the payout. That is why it is only 30 days. They want Stallworth to be able to pay them off.

Pretty pathetic on their part.

Maybe Dad was a jerk. Plenty of deadbeats around beating up their wives and kids. So along comes a rich, drunk, football player...millions for you or Lock Up raw for him...you call it.

Not saying [I]at all [/I] Poppa was a deadbeat, but I'm also saying the good guys don't always take the bullet.

That very well may be true but I hope I never get to the point where I would rather hit the lottery than pursue justice for someone that I am related to.

I guess I was just raised different.

Look at it from the othe side. Stallworth hit the guy at like 6 or 7am. He'd already left the bar a long time ago. Plus the guy was J walking. There is another side to the story. If he was stone sober could he have prevented this? Who knows.

From what I had have heard this type of sentence is relatively common in cases with similar circumstances and evidence. Apparently the burden of proof by Fla law includes proving that the accused's intoxication directly led to the death. Given that the victim was jay-walking there was precedence that he might have been found not guilty and done no time at all.

To me the most interesting part of this whole thing is the comparison to Vick. Vick's crimes are obviously pretty sh*tty but in the end he went to the poke for a long dam time for killing some dogs and DOnte killsanother human and ends up serving 30 days and 2 years home confinement. What the hell is wrong with our priorities in this country?

I agree 100%.

I think Chris Rock sums it up pretty well...
