MIAMI — Attorneys say Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth has agreed to plead guilty to DUI manslaughter charges and would serve some jail time for a Miami car crash in which a pedestrian was struck and killed.

Prosecutors and Stallworth’s attorney confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday night that a deal has been struck. The 28-year-old Stallworth is expected to be in a Miami courtroom today to enter the plea.

Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Terry Chavez says the family of victim Mario Reyes wants to resolve the case. She says the deal includes a short jail sentence and lengthy probation. She would not provide details.

Police say Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of .126 after the crash, well above Florida’s .08 limit to drive. Prosecutors say Stallworth struck Reyes after a night on the town.

How can the crime of drunk driving be taken seriously when someone is killed and the felon receives a 30 day sentence??

I guess it is truer now than ever before ... money talks.

Under Florida law, DUI manslaughter is very similar to Ohio law. 1st offense is 6 months and $1500 fine maximum. Of course he is looking at high penalties under civil lawsuits.....
