If that's true then only in the state of Florida. He can always get a license in another state.

Not unless: a) He lies on his application as there will likely be several questions concerning his status in other states and/or whether he has pled guilty to moving violations; and b) the particular State doesn't run a database check. At least that's how it would work for most reciprocal licenses - State's tend to honor the actions of other States in those cases.

It is my belief that, if you are suspended or revoked in some other State, you will be denied a Maryland license

Why would he lie on any application? It's not like he isn't well known, especially now. He may not get a MD license, but I am sure that there is some state out there that would be willing to give him a license.

In retrospect though, I doubt very seriously that they have revoked his driving privileges for life. It wasn't in the posted article and that would have been a huge oversight on the part of the press.

Stallworth must also undergo drug and alcohol testing, will have a lifetime driver's license suspension and must perform 1,000 hours of community service. Lyons said after five years, Stallworth could win approval for limited driving for reasons such as employment.

And I have had driver's licenses in Md, Colo, and La. In every state, and every application it asks if your license is revoked or suspended in any state. Like Joe said all the States uphold each others laws in cases like this.

It also said that he could get limited licensing privileges back after 5 years. A life sentence is only 20 years, so why would a life long DL suspension be any longer? I am not saying that it isn't. I think that he will get full privileges back sometime in his life.

Because it is a loss of a privilege not confinement in jail, which the state has the right to do. I am pretty sure there are other post conviction restrictions that can be for life as well, if the restriction relates to the type of crime committed and is considered to be for the good of the public at large.
