He got a lot more than just 30 days in jail.

After his release from jail, he must serve two years of house arrest.

Eight years on probaton.

Stallworth also must undergo drug and alcohol testing.

He will have a lifetime driver’s license suspension.

Must perform 1,000 hours of community service.

He most likely will also receive some type of diciplinary action from the NFL.

He'll be out in his Bentley in 6 months and will do nothing for his community service. He's just another piece of walking proof that athletes/stars get preferential treatment in the courts. The guy who stole Lance Armstrong's bicycle is gonna get 3+ years in jail.

I'm not defending him or his actions...just stating facts....he got more than the 30 days that was posted.

The victim's family supported the deal because Stallworth bought them off.

Yes, he did get two years of house arrest. He will be living in his mansion while still being allowed to travel to games when the NFL reinstates him. If it were you or I at the end of two years we would still be marking the days until our release from jail. Concerning his probation, what would you prefer, a year in jail or 8 years of probation? He will also be eligible for a hardship license in 5 years.

For DUI manslaughter Stallworth was given a gift. This happened because he is a rich and famous athlete.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all on this. I just posted that he got more than 30 days in jail...and he did.
