Ramius Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Jim's right, says so here in this link. Â http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4262751 Â Stallworth's settlement with the family was TO AVOID A LAWSUIT. The settlement had no bearing on the criminal charges against him.

I assume that he speaks for society, so what society wanted, and got, was the best possible resolution for the victims family. Â It is not about what YOU want, it is about the family, and also, this IS waht society wants. Get off your high horses, if it happened to you, maybe you would choose this solution also.

Guest three3 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 you should not be able to buy your way out of a long prison sentence. the fact that you can is criminal in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CRIMINAL punishment was based on whether or not the prosecutor could get a conviction, NOT on the amount of money paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Amazing how many mental midgets on here do not understand the difference between a criminal trial (where the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt) and a civil lawsuit where the family wants reparations.

A source told ESPN's Kelly Naqi that while the financial terms of the settlement with the family have not been disclosed, Stallworth was covered by two insurance policies: a car insurance policy and a $5 million umbrella policy.

Fingon Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 how about elite attorneys? do those cost $300 a year too? The insurance company pays for your attorney, and so does the umbrella coverage. You should really crack a book on the subject before you make yourself look even more uniformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see nothing about paying the family to shut up at the trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
