Topic: Stallworth pleads guilty to DUI manslaughter; gets 30 days | |
---|---|
A few days ago someone posted about an 18 yr old molesting a 6 yr and getting 100 yrs sentence.
This sports jock - goes out and kills someone and gets 30 days! Where is the justice, better yet what the he!! is justice anymore??? http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sfl-donte-stallworth-to-plead-guilty-061609,0,6774548.story |

He has to be out in time to play or the Judge might lose the bet.
That's sarcasm. |

school sports seem more important i guess

Betcha he's glad he has so many zeroes to cushion his fall. Imagine 2 yrs house arrest - and the 18 yr old child who I believe had the IQ of 47 got sentenced to 100 yrs. |

Shows you how much the human life is worth.
Kobe Bryant got more time for his dog thang. And don't get me started on Michael Jackson or Priests Peodofiles. |

money talks..bullsh!! walks..they should both get 100 yrs.
|

The 18 yr old (granted he has an IQ of 47) but he commit a crime and should pay - 100 yrs I find excessive
The sports jock - actually killed someone due to his actions, he gets 30 days. |

money talks..bullsh!! walks..they should both get 100 yrs. Agreed. Hey there, new Kid! |

Justice serves those who can afford it. I heard it said that the original OJ case was not as much about racism or even if he was guilty, but that a black man could now buy justice.

they went into this in a lot of detail on Sportcenter today. The lawyers they consulted said it was an average sentence and they didnt think he got special consideration
apparently the deciding factor with the judge was the fact that he went to the family and apologized to them and offered them restitution and worked out a settlement with em |

Should those with means get lighter sentences than those who have a low IQ? |

school sports seem more important i guess he plays for the cleve browns and i refferanced this case in another thread ------------------ when some one said if they ran out in the road and got hit they would deserve what ever they got that was today i am sure someone in this thread remembers it don't you |

adj he played for the Cleveland Browns, he is sentenced to 30 days in jail, 2 yrs under house arrest - so doubt he will participate in sports anytime soon.
and you have taken what I said out of context, I was talking w/Thomas re: risk not killing another soul |

There are risks involved in every aspect of life. You could be hit by a staypuff marshmallow truck while crossing the road, but I'd wager it doesn't stop you from crossing the road. No but if I had to cross the road and a truck was coming, clearly within my vision if I chose to cross at that time, the risk was extremely stupid and foolish and I would deserve any/every broken bone I sustained. Now if I was about to cross and a speeding truck hit me (which was nowhere to be seen before I started crossing) as I had no control it cannot/should not be conceived as I took the risk. http://mingle2.com/topic/show/229423?page=13 from article Police estimated Stallworth was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone. |

Now you are saying the pedestrian walking home is responsible for being hit and killed by a drunken driver? Is it the dead persons fault he died? is this what you are implying
No need to quote sunshine, I remembered it well and stand by what I said, again it pertained to risk and previous conversation had nothing to do with this thread |
|
|
|
both cases IMO....are on the opposite ends of the judicial spectrum
|
|
|
|
While I believe both cases are different entirely, how can one sustain a 100 yr sentence and another 30 days for taking a life. Is that the value of life today?
Guess it just bothers me that money has such an influence in the outcome of things |
