Donte Stallworth, Redemption
Interesting article about Stallworth, a lot of stuff I didn't know about his conviction. From the article he seems to gotten the message from his DD conviction.
Stallworth: 'Be cognizant of your decisions' - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Quote:
Overshadowed, though, is what Stallworth did after it was clear he had accidentally killed a man with his car. He ordered his lawyers to accept a plea deal that convicted him of a felony even when evidence showed he had an excellent chance of being found innocent. He said Reyes’ death was enough of his fault that there shouldn’t be a trial and Reyes’ family shouldn’t have to sit in a courthouse and relive his death all over again.
....
Over and over, members of Stallworth’s elite team of attorneys shouted at him to fight the charges. They said there was no way to prove who was at fault. Reyes, after all, dashed across a busy freeway to catch a bus near a green light that rarely turns red.

After reading this I wish him well. This is very different who after they screw up never come to grips with what they did.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."
