Don't quite understand why athletes and celebrities are above taking a cab, or limo in their case.

Nobody wins in this situation.

Donte' Stallworth charged with DUI manslaughter

Jennifer Lebovich of the Miami Herald reports Miami-Dade prosecutors on Wednesday charged Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth with DUI manslaughter, alleging the football player was driving drunk on the morning of March 14 when he struck and killed a pedestrian on Miami Beach.

Blood tests revealed Stallworth had a blood alcohol level of .126 after the 7 a.m. crash, according to documents filed in the clerk's office Wednesday.

Stallworth, 28, who has cooperated with authorities since the crash, is expected to surrender to authorities on Thursday morning.

Stallworth's attorney, Christopher Lyons, declined comment.

DUI manslaughter is a felony that carries a minimum of four years to a maximum 15 years in prison.

Stallworth's bond will be set at $200,000 and will allow him to live in both Florida and Ohio, where he lists a Cleveland address, according to court documents.

Update from same source:

''I just want to extend my condolences to the Reyes family. My prayers are with them,'' Stallworth told a group of reporters and cameras waiting outside the jail. ``I have full confidence and faith in the legal process.''

His bond was set at $200,000 on the charge, a felony that carries a minimum of four years to a maximum of 15 years in prison. He posted bond within several hours of his booking and was released.

The dead guy's family wins and the trial attorney who finds them first wins.

Dead blue collar worker + NFL Player + DUI + Rolls Royce = Ghetto Jackpot

Is going to do time then?

Looks like a mandatory "sentence" of at least 4 years, maybe he could get some time shaved off for good behavior but he's definitely moving into a cell.

At least i got caught before killing someone 15 years is a long time, 4 years is mandatory but the judge can suspend the sentence in whole or part or ammend it to a lesser charge. You kill someone though and your doing some sort of time shit I got a year with all but 40 suspended and i didn't even hit someone
