I would rather serve 23 months in jail then lose my right to drive a car FOR LIFE.

He lost his right to EVER drive again. HE NEVER CAN EVEN DRIVE TO THE STORE AGAIN FOR A CARTON OF MILK AGAIN... FOR LIFE. That is interesting.

He also got 2 years house arrest. That means for two years he will have a GPS clamped on his ankle and can not leave his home. I do not give a rat's ass how comfortable my sofa is.. That is a pain in the ass.

REMEMBER... He was just a tad over the limit, Barely over the limit, not shit faced drunk. Who here has never driven in that condition? PLUS... The guy he hit was crossing the street where he should not have been crossing.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS.... The family of the victim is happy and satisfied with the punishment, and settlement financially. That is important.

He was not a bad dude. Factors in the sentence were his character and his contribution to the community before this accident.

he actually only completely loses his license for 5 years - then he'll be allowed a "work permit" so to speak.

I disagree with many of your points, RP. According to PFT (which is run by a lawyer, mind you), he will be eligible in 5 years to possibly begin driving again for things work related. That one stipulation has lots of possibilities. Second, yes, he is on house arrest for two years. Yes, that would be a pain in the ass. Nothing compared to the pain in the ass that comes from a prison stay (pun intended). Third, he was not just a tad over. the limit was .08, and he was at .127, which is far more than just a tad over. My buddy got put on house arrest for two years with random breathalyzer calls. Their was a breathalyzer attached to his phone and he had to blow into it 2-10 times a day. He also got his license suspended for three years. His blood alcohol was .13. His punishment was on the same level as Stalworth's in my opinion, and my buddy didn't even KILL ANYONE. Bottom line is, he was driving drunk and hit a man with his car and killed him. HE FUCKING KILLED A GUY WHILE DRIVING DRUNK!

preach it, bozz!!

the ex has 3 dui's - he got sentenced to 10 days in jail - served 3 & $2500 in fines. he'll have a lifetime suspension of his CDL. regular driving privileges is supposed to be for 10 years but i doubt that'll hold - we'll see. if the 10 year revocation holds, the twins will be driving before he does.

oh & the state of illinois may have the toughest dui laws but we need the judges & prosecutors to uphold those laws!!

This is a clear illustration of the cracks in the legal system in this country, it revolves more around money and fame than in truth and justice.

I will plead my guilt that I have driven impaired and the excuses are nothing more than excuses. I took a risk on not only my own well being but that of others, I made a unwise choice. But it was a choice no lesser than to pull a trigger or do the unthinkable in taking another's life.

So if I or another takes a life while driving impaired, how is that any less of a crime? It might not have been the intent, but the "choice" helped lead to a loss of life.

And that amounts to 30 days in jail, a couple of years of restricted rights and a large chunk of cash being paid to the family. Kind of sad that it has become a reality.

technically he's only serving 24 days in jail - heard that as well.

i find it interesting that the family took a settlement to avoid further pain.

while i can completely understand what they're saying & going thru (lost a family member to a drunk driver) i think this speaks volumes about the media, professional athletes, & the legal system.

when a family is too "scared" of what the media might put them through & are willing to sacrifice a more harsh sentence because of it, i find incredulous.

i'm not saying i blame the family for doing this - i just find it unbelievable that because of the power of the media, professional athletes have become all but untouchable in our legal system.

these people were caught between a rock & a hard place - i'd like to think i would have told stallworth where to shove his settlement & taken the sorry SOB to the court system but i can honestly understand their predicament.

it's just sad to me.

The guy earned a $4.5M roster bonus and couldn't afford to take a cab.

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.

Right on Raider. I feel the same way.

And Stallworth said something I saw on the ticker that confirmed(for me at least) he was sorry...
