Darn, I was hoping it meant the Browns released him. Hope springs eternal.
bull ...guy didn't even get the 30 days he was supposed to...should have been a of a lot more. I'm sure the guy would be proud of his family for taking money so he could get out of jail..garbage..and it takes a of a lot more than 4 shots of tequila to get you to .126
Stallworth completes jail term
MIAMI -- Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth has been released from a Miami jail after serving 24 days for DUI manslaughter.
Stallworth
His attorney, Christopher Lyons, said Stallworth was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center early Friday.
The 28-year-old Stallworth served 24 days of the 30-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter.
Stallworth's car struck and killed a pedestrian, 59-year-old Mario Reyes, in an early-morning crash March 14. In a recorded interview, Stallworth told police he drank up to four shots of premium tequila while partying with friends at a Miami Beach club, but did not feel drunk in the hours before he struck Reyes.
Lab tests later showed Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of .126, above Florida's .08 limit.
Stallworth also reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Reyes' family, which factored into his relatively light sentence.
The receiver has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL. He signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns before last season but was injured much of the year, finishing with 17 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I am on the fence with this. I'm sure I would feel different if I knew the person killed but part of me believes drinking did not kill the victim. They said he was not suppose to be in the road when he was hit by the car and the family did settle.
Yeah, call me a classless asshole but I still think that dude died in lieu of Stallworth being drunk, not because of it.
A friend of mine is about done serving a 30 day sentence for four felony counts of drug possession and one felony intent to distribute. 30 days. 5-7 years probation. No felonies on his record. Just saying, Stallworth got off light in part because being an NFL star gave him the finances to do so, but Average Joe can get a slap on the wrists for breaking the big bad Law too.
Too bad he didn't run over a dog, he might be on death row right now.
Exactly..them Peta bas s piss me off...they could give a about their fellow man, but if a hamster is being tortured, they're out in troops. My opinon? If it was me, I'd be in prison for life...he was almost double the legal limit, marijuana was in his system, and he ran over someone, killing them...24 days is disgusting.
I agree that other people get away with it too, but it's disgusting that a guy can have a .126 BAC, run over someone, and then get 24 days. What makes this more disgusting is that the family of the guy who died is the reason he got such a light sentence. The money he gave them allowed the courts to release him early...horrible.
If you mean run a dog fighting ring for years where police find over 60 dead dog bodies in your backyard, then he'd probably get the 2 year sentence he deserves.
Mike Vick deserves everything he got.
He ran over a J-walker.
If there is any justice in the world that murdering piece of will get hit by a car and killed on his way home.
Jay-walking is no reason to kill a man.
Justice system has never been fair. MONEY TALKS!!
with a .126 BAC and marijuana in his system...he freaking killed a guy.
I'm gonna assume you were just intentionally acting stupid there and intentionally whiffed on the point of my post.
Yes, he killed someone, I know, I woulda given him more than 24 days. A lot more.
I'm saying that unintentionally killing a J-walker while being intoxicated isn'tnearly as bad as intentionally killing over 60 helpless, innocent animals with ways such as electrocution, strangling, and drowning. One person is just an idiot, the other is a souless evil human being who doesn't deserve to live let alone play in the NFL.
it's the guys fault he was killed by that drunken idiot
it's the guys fault he was killed by that drunken idiot
The guy would not have been killed if he wasn't breaking a law and J-walking, plain and simple. Stallworth isn't 100% liable here.
ever walked on a street when somewhere you needed to go was right in front of you and not two blocks away at the nearest street exit?
Yeah, but if I ever cross a busy street I make sure the cars are either stopped at a red light or wait for no traffic to ing cross.
Although I have considered getting hit by a bus to commit insurance fraud. The economy's that bad.
You said he ran over a jay-walker idiot. What the else was I supposed to infer? If you meant to say something just come out and say it.
There's billions of people in this world.
Some of them are going to die.
Out of that group, some of them are going to be killed by other people.
And out of that group, some of them are going to die unfortunate, tragic deaths.
That's life.
Bad things happen to good people sometimes.
Exactly. Thats how the courts saw it too.
That's a little overboard with respect to Vick. He got caught and is serving his time. To say he doesn't deserve to live is just sour grapes on your part. People who don't deserve to live (Hitler, Saddam) get what's coming to them in the end anyway, but Michael Vick isn't in that group.
Yes, and that's why I wait till no cars are coming to go.
So 60 dogs = 2 years and 1 human = 30 days
