The guy might be a "nice guy", but his actions killed someone. Maybe if he hadn't been drunk, maybe he would have reacted faster and not killed the guy.
Maybe alot of it was the guy who got killed own fault for crossing in the wrong spot. And maybe had Stalworth not been drinking, maybe he would have been found not at fault. But the being legally drunk part sealed the guilt against him.
It's a shame, for sure. But Stalworth made the choice to drink and drive. No one forced him.
Who knows HOW many other times he drank and then drove, and got away with it?
If you play, sometimes you pay.
My wife's cousin was killed by a drunk driver. And the drunk wasn't rich, so her family got NOTHING.
