So, he apparently will do time, but there is no suggestion how long. Essentially, he was able to buy his way out of a civil case.

that statement reminds me of my little neice the other day when a person was crossing the street and wasnt in the cross walk, being young and not understanding, she swore that we could legally hit him and not get in trouble. Ha ha, dude drove drunk and risked alot of peoples lifes. He gets no sympathy.
That's a rather sadistic thought for a little girl to have.
He gets no sympathy from you, that's fine, but he would from a jury, that's why he's going to plea out for small peanuts.
I've done it in the past, but not for a long time. Obviously there was no intent to hurt anyone on Stallworth's part, but a man is dead directly because of his actions. Maybe it could happen to any of us, but we'd all have to pay a price, and so should he. I hope it's a lesson to someone else who might have otherwise drank and gotten behind the wheel, that's the only good that could come of any of this.
Not saying he shouldn't be punished...

I can't believe he flashed his lights but didn't slow down.
That's the bizarre part. Stallworth saw the guy, for sure. Donte just wanted the guy to get out of HIS way, making his situation very different from the "guy running across the Mass Pike while I was fiddling with the radio and didn't see him" analogy.
He saw the dude, wanted him to get out of the way, and just assumed that he would. Such stupidity doesn't necessarily require alcohol, but our legal system permits us to assume as much.
I'm afraid he deserves a significant sentence.

Well, I have to disagree with you there. When crossing a three lane highway outside of a crosswalk the pedestrian has a duty to be very vigilant and to be sure he can make it across even if the oncoming traffic does not stop (or even slow down) for him. Maybe you are not familiar with the area where this happened, but it is a highway. Imagine if some old guy was trudging across the mass pike in the early morning hours, you're looking down changing the radio and all of the sudden you look up and there's a guy in your headlights...you may have time to avoid him, or may not....It's hard to judge someone in this case....and for that reason I expect he will receive a very lenient sentence.
Thats just rubbish.
You would at least hit the brakes and try and stop if you couldn't avoid them. He never slowed down.
And besides he had been drinking so he should not have been driving. There is no excuse for drink driving.

Rather bizarre. He pays off the family and somehow that allows him to plead guility and yet the guilty plea is not considered a conviction. A conviction would have require a mandatory 4-year sentence. Somehow or another I think a few people not in the victim's family also got paid.
