NFL ruled on Plaxico today as well. He cant sign with any teams until he's out, but when he's released, he's free and clear to return to the NFL.

Wonder what would have happened had he had a license , remember he had one in FLA.
What would the sentence be in this case in NY.
But the HOT SHOT Mayor came out and basically said "Throw the Book at him" Whats the Judge to do ?
Well, go read the other thread for Stallworth, since nobody wanted to talk about it then, no point talking about it now. I'll just say you don't know the facts of the case (or are ignoring them to make your argument) and leave it at that.
If Carl Rowan had been convicted in Washington, DC for shooting the 16 year old kid in his swimming pool with his unregistered handgun, the maximum sentence under the DC statute would have been one year.
What influence over a court did a politician have over a case that ended in a plea deal.
If it would have gone to trial and he was convicted, he would have faced a minimum of 3.5 years and for as long as 15. In the same situation what do you pick? The 2 years, or the 3.5, you think there's any defense in the world that would have convinced anyone that he didn't posses the gun he discharged into his own leg?
That's the law.
Not a political conspiracy. You detractors are hilarious.
Ok, since I was thinking the same thing about Stallworth deserving more than 30 days in Jail, I did what a couple of you have mentioned and read the facts of the case.
30 days for running over someone while drunk, at 7 A.M., regardless of the reason, is a disgrace to the legal system when they are sentencing other individuals 2 years for shooting themselves and being involved in dog fighting.
However, I believe drunk drivers deserve more than a month in jail just for being caught, no other circumstances involved. If a grown adult doesn't' know the dangers of driving drunk, a month in the slammer will give them plenty of time to research it.

The issue with comparing crimes in different states is if Plaxico did this in Miami he'd probably be out from time served and maybe on some probation or something. Taking it a step further and comparing sentences of different crimes in different states, and there's too many what if's for it to be a reasonable discussion.
He is dead right. Stallworth was lucky enough to run down the family bread winner and they settled for cash. IMO, you should not be able to buy your way out of murder. They should have put him in jail and still awarded the family a settlement.
And if he did what you said with no other facts important to the case omitted, I'd agree 100%.
If Stallworth was at fault for the accident he'd still be in jail today, but it's pretty clear the video of the accident removed the blame from him leaving just the DUI charges to be settled.
Those are facts. There's no 'well then he wouldn't have hit the guy' because we will never see the video, we will never know, but it's clear by the charges and the sentence, that video put him in the clear. Had he not been drinking he'd have probably faced no charges.
Really dont want to get into this in another thread, since if your mind can't be changed by the facts of the case then you're just ranting to hear yourself rant.
