Well, I'm sure we could get into a big debate as to what "justice" means in this case. Money for the family? The harshest punishment for the plaintiff? As I said in an earlier post, I'm glad the family has been taken care financially. They certainly deserve that given the circumstances, and I'm sure they are devastated by their loss. I just think it smells a little like "take the money and run." You've got to admit, the pre-arranged financial agreement smells a helluva lot like Stallworth buying down the family and prosecution's ire. I'm in no way saying victim's relatives are happy about the situation, but I know that if I were in their shoes, I'd be appalled at a 30 day jail term for Stallworth.
I dunno. I wish both sides the best to be honest with you. I don't think Stallworth is a bad dude at all. I really don't. But I also think the victims family got dealt a shitty hand as well.
