I still think the guy was more at fault then Donte. Just waiting for this video to be released. Hoping that it shows that there was nothing Donte could do. This would be reason for him sounding distraught and also coming to a plea deal of only 30 days plus the home arrest. Donte will always have some fault in it, but it would be nice to see it wasnt the situation all of us were made to believe it was.

Please dont take this the wrong way. I do not condone drinking and driving and I do feel for the victims family.

How was it not his fault. My neighbor's kids, and father died, because a drunk driver killede them, on our street. DUI manslaughter is taken too lightly. The guy who stole Lance's bike got more jail time

I agree that this is tragic, but from what I've heard about this video the guy literally walked right in front of the car, and there was nothing Stallworth could have done under any circumstance. 30 days plus 2 years house arrest and a possible loss of license for life isn't really a slap on the wrist if the guy was as much at fault as is being reported

read what I wrote before you bash me. I never said he is not at fault, I just said the victim might be more at fault. If someone walks out in front of a car no matter how impared the driver is there is a chance they might get hit. If the video surfaces and shows a man walking out between 2 cars 5 feet in front of Donte's car that would show there was absolutely nothing Donte could do. This would also explain why prosecutors, the judge, and the family felt the punishment fit the crime

I'm not bashing you, I'm bashing the judge

I have not seen the video, so I can not make a statement

How is it fair to bash the judge when you yourself just stated you havent seen the video so therefor cant make a statement.

My comment is totally based on what "might of happened" and seems very possible, yours is based on DUI manslaughter as a whole.

I think you have to take every situation and analyze it by itself. Yes drinking and driving is bad, very bad, but it may not have play as big of a role in this situation as we were led to believe.

I dont think its fair to bash anyone until we have all the details
