Signed with the Ravens.....Anyone else have a HUGE problem with this? I can't believe the guy is even walking the streets, let alone playing in the NFL.

    Are you friggen kidding me?

    The guy got drunk, went to SLEEP, woke up, drove and killed someone by accident- the guy was walking into a busy intersection, Stallworth beeped to alert him and it was too late.

    Stallworth then called 911, cooperated 100% with the authorities, payed a huge sum of money to the family and served his punishment.

    The guy made a mistake but did everything right afterward, he accepted responsibilty 100% not once making excuses.


    Gimme a break there was nothing malicious about this whole incident.

    Agree with Perk. He paid his debt to society.

    Stallworth had .126 blood alcohol level and marijuana was found in his system! I would hardly call 24 days in jail FOR KILLING A MAN while illegally operating a motor vehicle "paying his debt to society".

    Sorry, but if you or I killed a man while legally drunk and marijuana in our system, we'd still be sitting in a cell. Period.

    I cannot see what punishment he has faced is adequate. Seriously? Effing BS. I don't blame him for the weak sentence. It's obviously an issue of the justice system sucking donkey balls.

    Not true. If you were a US senator, you wouldn't even have to serve the 24 days.

    Maybe so, but his legal team and he came up with a deal that the prosecutors accepted. The family received compensation, Stallworth did time and paid, the tax payers didn't get caught up fronting the bill for a lengthy trial. If anything Stallworth had the best legal advice money could buy and the prosecutors bought it. This wasn't a case like that Rams Leonard Little case--Stallworth openly took responsibility.

    I believe that one of the outcomes of adequate punishment is that a lesson should be learned. How many people think he has learned his lesson? I, for one, do not.

    his sentence was a bit ridiculous, but the charges/penalties vary from state to state.
    If this happened in TX he probably would have been hung.
