Wow that is a pretty light sentence, i think everyone who has been in trouble with the law will take a look at their sentence in a whole different light!

My brother who got his second DWI in the State of Washington had to serve 2 months in the King County Jail.
That being said”, it is an absolute joke that because a person was Cooperative flashed his lights, and please don’t forget, is an NFL star, has millions of dollars, gets this ridiculously light of a sentence!
We make his crime bearable while Michael Vick The Gambler and bankroller of Illegal Dogfighting, The Pariah of the NFL.
What have we come to in this world where a Human life is worth less than a Dog’s?
Great Article Tim!

His sentence is an absolute farce.. there is no other way to describe it.. every single day in this country people are sentenced for dui’s, and every single day there are people who get more time for a “basic” dui than stallworth did.. i love football, and i was hoping stallworth would get a favorable outcome.. but this.. completely ridiculous.. i don’t want to hear about him cooperating, that he flashed his lights, that the pedestrian wasn’t in a crosswalk, or anything like that.. the facts are that he was legally drunk.. and the lawmakers determine that you can’t make decisions quite as well when you are legally drunk so they set these blood alcohol levels at certain limits.. the reality is that the man who is dead wouldn’t be on an occasion exactly the same if stallworth were not drunk!..

Well thanks for the comment Dan, But it still is the fact that people give a human life less value than a damn dog’s life.
Don’t get me wrong Michael Vick committed a crime and paid for it, but the fact that Mr. Stallworth actually $$ paid for his crime in another way pisses me off.
All this crap about Vick and not a damn thing about this man and his family,then he buys them off, give me a damn break, it is what it is, and it is a bunch of Bullshit!!!

I will start by saying this: I think 30 days is light for a DUI vehicular homicide.

That being said… Stallworth didn’t intend to hit and kill a man. Yes, he was driving under the influence. The big difference here is that Vick INTENDED to fight dogs, bought the dogs with the express intent to fight them and eventually kill them, and THEN went ahead and killed them. Stallworth did not go out that night INTENDING to kill a man. That is the major point there.

There’s also the fact that witnesses have said that the man ran out into the street in front of Stallworth’s car, thus making this a horrible accident. Could Stallworth have stopped the car in time had he been sober? I don’t know. Do you?

INTENT and PREMEDITATION are the reasons that Vick had to serve 18 months in the pen.

Again, I don’t think that 30 days is enough for Stallworth, but he didn’t try to go kill a man that morning.
