Thats too bad for everyone involved. I wish they would release some of the OTHER facts involved in that case.

It does suck for everyone involved. In the case of Stallworth, it's simply a ton of bad luck and his being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If most of us are honest, I guarantee you the vast majority here have driven intoxicated at some point before, even if only for short distances. If that's the case, this very easily could have happened to you.

Agreed.

How long before we get flamed for that comment? :D

I haven't, and I'm a borderline alcoholic. If someone wants to drink themself to death, then that's nobody else's business; if they want to get behind the wheel and put others at risk, then that's everyone else's business. So no, I don't have any sympathy for Stallworth.

Just a bad scene that he will always regret. The minimal prison time is the least of his worries.

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.

he shouldnt have driven drunk, I dont give a crap about his bad luck. he killed someone, and it was his fault, no one elses.

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.

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.
