Dboneesq · June 18, 2009 5:08AM

for raping children.

saucywombat · June 18, 2009 5:12AM

Ouch.

Too bad for his family he leaves behind and for the victims.

He was a solid major leaguer.

"For all the good this man has done in his life, it seems like this was an excessive verdict," defense attorney Brady Wyatt said after the verdict.

Wanna bet Mr. Wyatt doesn't have any children?

Wow... what "good" did this man do?... play baseball? He raped a 12-year old child! I somehow doubt he lasts that long in prison anyway.

Scumbag

Dboneesq · June 18, 2009 6:08AM

I USED to like Mel Hall untill all this sh*t came out several years ago.

Hey Mel ... you like SEX? Well you are going to get all you want FOR FREE where you are going! LOL

swartz1 · June 18, 2009 6:22AM

Mel Hall sex with children = 45 years in prison

Dante Stallworth kills somebody while intoxicated = 30 days in jail?

interesting...

billwaltonsbeard · June 18, 2009 6:23AM

Wow, this is the first I've heard about this.

Mel Hall had a sweet jheri curl mullet too.

Players get paid more now than they did just a decade ago.

Stallworth can afford better attorneys, apparently.

I'm not saying it's right.

When I clerked for a Circuit Court judge we had a case where a family had let their uncle move in. The uncle raped one of their sons over a period of years (who was under 10 at the time), the worst part was the family had come to sentencing hearing, to demand a lesser sentence because they claimed they were dependent on checks this uncle received every month from an accident/injury settlement and wouldn't get the money while he was in prison. There are many people in this world who simply lump children into the category "personal property" instead of viewing them as individuals.

Congrats to the DA or solicitor who took this to trial, those guys almost always wimp out on these sorts of tasks.

mikeschmidt · June 18, 2009 6:55AM

Comparing to Stallworth is not appropriate. That case had complications, whereby the person Dante hit was jaywalking at the time. Those 30 days were the result of a plea bargain, which attests to the notion that the DA in that case did not think they had a strong, winnable case.

I hope his new "friends "make him dress up like a 12 YEAR OLD and play ball with him. Lousy piece of crap!

Exactly Russ. Child molesters are worse tham murderers in my mind. Raping children takes their innocence and ruins the rest of theirs lives.

He got off light if you ask me.

lsutigers1973 · June 18, 2009 6:59AM

If he is placed in general population, he will be dead in less than a year. However, sex offenders are usually "stored" together in one section (or camp in Angola) where they are free to rape each other.

I personally hope he is thrown into general population.

His 1983 Topps Traded RC is one of the best looking cards in that set.

No question about it Matt.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · June 18, 2009 8:22AM

Yeah, he'll be in PC (Protective Custody). Although sometimes General Population will convince staff their life is in danger so they can get into PC to get revenge or go after a celebrity to make a name. We'll see.

explain to me the complications in driving drunk...regardless of the jaywalking...

I believe the complication is the guy probably would have still died if Stallworth had been completely sober. He was running across a 6 lane highway in the middle of the night and ran right in front of Stallworth's car. Whether he would of had quick enough reactions had he not been intoxicated can only speculated.

gonzer · June 18, 2009 8:59AM

As 'Mel Hall' would say...."How about THAT!"

Yankees001 · June 18, 2009 10:30AM

Yes, I heard about this a few months back. I think October-December last year YAHOO had this story on the Baseball page.

Finally sentenced. I hope he has a few close personal friends in the big house.

Fun games in the BIG HOUSE: 1) Simon Says Touch your ancles 2) Shout, could you get that for me?

I hope he has a lot of fun

The thing will Stallworth of course was very bad involving a death, but it was an accident and wasn't intentional...what this POS Hall did was no "accident"

Exactly, if anyone cannot understand that difference then they have issues.

What's interesting about child molestation is that it actually doesn't necessarily ruin lives. My mom was a social work professor who specialized in child welfare, and she told me about some fascinating research that was done in this field. Basically, kids who are molested often end up being OK, so long as a) the molestor isn't a family member, and b) the parents don't end up blaming the kid (or otherwise insisting that the kid is lying). In this case here, it seems like there's hope that these girls can go on to live healthy, productive lives. The same cannot be said for Mr. Hall, who I imagine will be getting his oil checked by a series of six inch dipsticks for the next four decades.
