I don't know about this. It sounded like to me that Stallworth could've gotten off on the manslaughter & only been faced w/dui. In which case his sentence would have been lighter, much less house arrest.

I disagree w/those that say he got off easy w/the plea. He made the deal to save he & the family from going through a trial. He's been up front & contrite from the beginning.

Ultimately, goodell has set a seriously high bar on the conduct policy. He just suspended a man that's on house arrest. I could agree w/even an 8 game suspension, a year seems awful extreme.

Is he suspended in part because of the manslaughter? i.e. if he had been found not guilty of that charge & only dui would the suspension be a year? If not, then the conduct policy is basically punishing Stallworth for reaching a quick & agreeable (w/the state & the victim's family) solution.
