Comments on: NFL Player Gets 30 Days For Manslaughter

Donte' Stallworth Pleads Guilty To DUI Manslaughter; Killed Pedestrian In Florida

Sounds like the family is more worried about getting paid for their "grief"

So the guy was crossing illegally...not in a crosswalk. His sentence was DEATH and he only put himself at risk. How does that compare to someone knowingly drinking and getting behind the wheel of a car where he is endangering not only himself and his passengers but EVERYONE he happens to encounter? Thirty days, 10 years probation, and community service for actions that resulted in someone else's death? That's simply unbelievable...

Wonder what the jaywalking sentence would have been for the guy (if he had lived)...

[linfinster]

I wonder what the settlement amount was . . . I certainly don't have enough money to buy my way out of a Manslaughter charge.

What a great country - if you're a pro athlete (and don't harm a dog).

Gee...that seems fair. Where is our justice system? What if this had been a little child, who didn't understand cross walks. There is more than one crime being committed here.

[Lillian54321]

I think the pedestrian certainly paid a price for his/her error. However, Mr. Stallworth seems to be off mighty easy. Drunk driving with loss of human life usually draws a much larger sentence.

I agree with you Thadius5. Simply outrageous. Had it been a dog, PETA would have made certain he would have gotten at least 18 months, been publicly ridiculed, lost his entire career, but they obviously only care about animals.

all i know is if i do the same thing... i better only get 30 days in jail. 30 DAYS IN JAIL for KILLING someone DUI!

NO ONE WILL EVER RESPECT dui RISK WITH THIS KIND OF SENTENCE - if you even want to call it that!

You know my wife said the same thing we give you more time for killing an animal then for a person. Shows what kind of justice we have. I say bring back hanging.

Start with the politicians past, present, and future.

What a lame attempt at trying to justify this outrage. He wasn't in the crosswalk so he deserved to be run over.
