[TimTaylor751647545500]

MIAMI (AP)—Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth(notes) began serving a 30-day jail sentence Tuesday for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk in Florida, a punishment made possible by his cooperation with investigators and the fervent wish by the victim’s family to put the matter behind them.

(and I do realize that it's spelled "seriously")

By putting it behind them they mean wads of cash in their bank account.

wow a normal person would spend life in prison getting raped for that shit

[Ramsey]

30 days, well at least we know he wasnt street racing, otherswise it would have been death by a firing squad.

Our country seriously fucking FAILS.

I can only imagine the next person to kill someone down there while hammered. "The other guy got 30 days your trying to give me 15 YEARS?" Ya F you very much.

Pretty much.. no justice around here

[verse]

Well it sounds like the victims family is requesting the smaller sentence. I wouldn't mind getting his by a car if I knew my son would have 5 million in his bank account. It's justice in one form or another. I think most families would take 30 days in jail and 5 million than just 15 years in prision.

I wonder if they got season tickets too

[Rhett]

What Florida family would want season tickets to the Browns????

[Mike_Shepard]

HAHA Im not saying that many would but maybe that was part of the deal.

"Justice" costs money. Can you afford justice? I can't.

come on now it going to be rough for him will have to spend 24 of the 30 days 2 years house arrest and 8 years probation. Now thats a harsh punishment.

This is a good learning lesson for everyone. If you want the person that hits you to go to jail for more than a month use the crosswalk.

[verse]

I guess it looks like a very leinent punishment, but 30 days in jail, 2 years house arrest (work privelages), 8 years probation, 1,000 hours community service, lifetime driving suspension, 5 million to the family, and a lifetime with that burden on your shoulders doesn't look that bad either.

Its a good thing he only killed a guy. If he was fighting dogs he may have got the chair.

[HotCarl]

I think we're all forgeting the prosecution will only push it as far as the victims family wants to. Last time I dealt with a prosecutor she simply said I can slap him on the wrist or bend him over and fuck him with the long dick of the law (im paraphasing, kinda). Of course I chose the latter but it just goes to show that the victim and the vic's family has a strong say in how the punishment is taken out.

I think my family would take the 5 mil instead of having the guy sentenced to life. I mean when the guy gets life you don't get shit, but if he goes for 30 days and you get 5 mil, fuck you just got 5 mil in the bank, your all set.

[psi nrg]

Granted it seams like he gets off easy but the fact he will have to live with that burden of killing some one will haunt him for life. I couldnt live with that guilt maybe its because I have somewhat of a heart but any good human would feel the same.
