Here is the problem with drunk drivers. They are only sorry the time they kill some innocent person. Every other time they get behind a wheel drunk they don't care. They can handle it, they can drive.

I know a bunch of lowlife losers will defend him and say things to make it seem like drunk driving is okay, but it isn't. 24 days in jail is a joke for killing a man.

I'm no fan of drunk drivers either way, I just thought the original post was bizarre and obvious.

The article says the tape of the incident showed the victim darting out into moving traffic. Do you feel any part of his death is his own fault? Or is it solely on Stallworth?

Can't justify the drunk driving, but the sentence makes some sense in context. To get a conviction, the DA would have had to prove not only that Stallworth was legally drunk, but that he did something wrong. There is no indication that he was speeding, weaving or anything else. Witnesses agreed that the guy darted out between cars into moving traffic. It was quite possible that the DA wouldn't have been able to get a conviction, since even a sober driver might not have been able to avoid the accident. Because he paid off the family, there was nobody pushing for a longer sentence or objecting to the plea deal.

Stallworth claimed to have stopped drinking at 12 the night before, which means he must have been hammered when he went to bed, since he had a .12 BAC 7 hours after he claimed to have stopped drinking.

Here is the problem with drowsy drivers. They are only sorry the time they kill some innocent person. Every other time they get behind a wheel sleepy they don't care. They can handle it, they can drive.

Ah, okay, makes more sense now.Reminds me of this time my buddy was driving down a 6-lane street by the LAX airport. He's going like 45 and some guy stumbles out between cars, right into our lane. My friend, being a pilot, happen to be looking left briefly at the runway next to us. I sensed he didn't see the guy -- I didn't myself initially -- so I yelled at him. He slams on the breaks, and we just miss the guy. This was early in the evening and I can't remember exactly, but he might have had a couple beers that afternoon. I don't know for sure, but if he did, it wasn't much because he is VERY careful like that.Anyway, he would have hit and killed the guy. We were both blown away by what almost happened, still talk about it. His career, life, everything, could have all gone to hell. In a split second. And something that wasn't, initially anyway, his fault. Scary.

I explained in another thread how his sentence makes complete sense and fit the crime. I'll try to remember which.

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

The problem with this one is, the same thing may have happened if he was sober. The guy darted in front of his car. It's not clear cut to me at all that Stallworth hit him because he was drunk. There is a chance here that the pedestrian was in the wrong as the guy was running to catch a bus he didn't want to miss.

There is definately some grey area in this one.

How in the world did he only do 24 days for that?

Actually, that was on the surface. I wanted to know. Not surprisingly, it's not so cut and dry, there is way more to it than that. Read about what exactly took place. I don't know enough to judge, at this point.For instance, check out what (almost) happened to my friend (and me).

i read your post. but if you, me or your friend killed someone, in just about any way, legally drunk & with a testable amount of weed in our system, we're not getting 30 days. period. the key to the story is stallworth cooperated & the family didn't press the issue. oh yeah and #### tons of

Isn't driving drunk doing something wrong?I understand the man may have darted in front of Stallworth's car and still have been killed even if Stallworth hadn't been drinking. On the other hand perhaps if Stallworth hadn't been drunk he would have been able to stop his car in time. Unfortunately we will never know but the fact remains that Stallworth killed the man while driving his car under the influence and a 24-day senetence is absolute BS -- he should have been in jail a minimum of 1 year.

 

[JuniorNB]

Am I the only one here who will admit that I have probably gotten behind the wheel at times when I would have tested over-the-limit for blood alcohol?

I don't mean stumbling-around drunk, but probably more than .08. I guess I've just been lucky that, in those times of questionable judgement, no one has ever darted out in between parked cars and gotten run over by me.

Of course, I'm the only one who's probably ever driven above the limit from this board. Most are waaaaay more righteous than I.

Yes, drunk driving is doing something wrong but first time drunk drivers don't get 24 day sentences either. Correct, we will never know which is why he wasn't going to get a long sentence anyway. The fact that we do know is that he was over the limit. The rest of it could have been entirely accidental and the fault of the pedestrian.

Seeing that we will never know, you have to deal with the facts at hand, he was over the limit, and for that a 24 day sentence is actually heavier than normal. If there is enough grey area that the pedestrian could have been at fault, how can you hold him accountable for that? Is that how the law works? I don't think it does.

If Stallworth wasn't drinking, the same exact thing could of very well happened, and he would be getting 0 days in jail because he wouldn't have been charged with anything. The fact is, we'll never know if alcohol was actually a factor in the cause of the accident.Reminds me of a regular at the bar I go to on Sundays, who got a DUI last year. Guy was driving in a residential area with 2 others after leaving the bar, going the speed limit, when a teenage girl who was texting ran a stop sign and T-boned them. The teenage girl was 100% responsible for the accident, even though the guy she hit was legally drunk. Pretty unlucky for the dude, although that's the chance you take if you drink and drive.

Here is the problem with drowsy drivers talking on their cellphones. They are only sorry the time they kill some innocent person. Every other time they get behind a wheel sleepy and start chatting away they don't care. They can handle it, they can drive.

Isn't driving drunk doing something wrong?

Not enough for vehicular manslaughter. He'd need to be drunk AND have that be a contributing factor to the person's death. Say you were just buzzed enough to blow a .08, but were driving the speed limit down the middle of a road and some guy ran out in front of your car. Multiple witnesses agree that you didn't have time to avoid him. Your penalty shouldn't really be any different from a person that was sober. The fact that you were .08 didn't contribute. You should get dinged for the DUI, but not for the manslaughter.

He tested positive for trace amounts of marijuana. They can't tell when he used it or if he was high at the time. It's possible.

That's the story that I read as well. Quite a bit different from definitively stating that he was stoned at the time of the wreck.

You should call the White House and get your boy Obama involved. I hear he likes to interfere with local law enforcement agencies. It's not like he killed or tortured dogs. Now THAT was an overreaction.

This will be counted as an alcohol-related accident to boot.

That's not "semantics" at all. That's like saying a guy who hits someone today, but drank three weeks ago, was drunk at the time he got into his accident.
