Richard,
It's the NAACP that gets the rocks thrown at them in this case, not the ACLU.
Stallworth's case went the way it did because the family did not want the case to go to trial for unknown reasons. The financial settlement was made as a separate issue so the family wouldn't sue in civil court.
It's actually not that unusual for someone involved in vehicular manslaughter to get a light sentence.
The commissioner is an idiot, Vick should have never been let back in the league, Pac Man Jones should have never gotten a second (then a third) chance, but Stallworth....evidently the guy ran out into the street in front of his SUV......I don't think the drinking had anything to do with it, from what I've heard, I doubt any of us would have been able to stop in time.
