MIAMI—Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth is going to serve 30 days in jail after pleading guilty in Florida to a DUI manslaughter charge.
The plea deal announced Tuesday calls for the 28-year-old Stallworth to also serve 10 years’ probation and do 1,000 community service hours for killing a pedestrian he hit with his car. Stallworth had faced up to 15 years in prison.
Police say Stallworth was drinking at a hotel bar before the March 14 crash that killed 59-year-old construction worker Mario Reyes. Tests showed Stallworth’s blood-alcohol content was .126.
Stallworth also reached a confidential financial settlement with the Reyes’ family. A person close to the negotiations told The Association Press about the agreement on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the deal.

What else did you think would happen. He is a sports jock. They do as they please.
Yet another example of how it really pays to be rich and famous. This can’t be a shock to anyone. These types always find a way out of having to suffer the consequences of their actions.
This guy only got 30 days in jail, probation, and community service for a DUI manslaughter charge?!?! Am I missing something? What was wrong with this court? That is just a slap on the wrist!!! I guess the only thing that we can count on is that more than likely he is going to do something he’s not supposed to be doing while he’s on probation and head back to jail!
