He will get just a 30 day sentence due to his cooperation with prosecutors, and the victim's family's desire to put the matter behind him. He could still be suspended by the league, but is a very lucky man. He does seem to have taken responsibility for the tragedy he created, and has reached a financial agreement with the victim's family. Probably about the best he can do in this case.

A 30-DAY SENTENCE??? For MANSLAUGHTER?????

Un-friggin-believable.

Whoever says money/ being a celebrity can't get you a lighter sentence, this is proof right here...

Put me in that same situation and i'm in jail for 15-30 years...

[Ryche]

I get 45 days for a 2nd DUI and i did'nt kill anyone.... But then again I don't have millions.

This is unreal. Boycott anything this guy does.

Well, I doubt a lot of people are running out to buy a Stallworth jersey. Not sure what you mean by that. At any rate, I believe that outrage at the sentence should be directed at those who set the sentence.

A 30-DAY SENTENCE??? For MANSLAUGHTER?????

Un-friggin-believable.

That ain't the sentence.

2 years of house arrest.
8 years of probation.
Drug and alcohol testing
Lifetime driver's license suspension
1,000 hours of community service

I'm not approving of this, but saying a 30 sentence is just factually wrong.

In this day and age, Mr. Stallworth manned up and never shrunk from his responsibility. He never tried fancy legal maneuvers to get out of it.

As is often the case these days, we can never let the facts get in the way of a good controversy.

[MJZiggy]

You do have a point there, he did man up and never tried to weasel out of his responsibility.

[Jimx29]

His lawyer did make a point that the victim was jaywalking....

When was the last time ANYBODY stopped, called 911 and submitted to roadside testing.

Attorneys across the country are furious.

Irony: i'm doing online traffic school right now.

Pedestrians must not suddenly leave the curb or other roadside area and step into the pathway of a vehicle close enough to present a hazard. Even though the law says that any driver must take care for the safety of a pedestrian, the pedestrian must not step into a vehicle's path even if he or she is stepping into a crosswalk. If the vehicle cannot stop in time, the fact that the pedestrian was in the right is not going to console his bereaved relatives.

I may make copies of that sign and post them around town...these people are friggin' suicidal! And the sidewalk is RIGHT THERE, PEOPLE! Get out of the street!!

[Ryche]
