NFL's Stallworth Facing Felony Charges?

As you may have heard, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth struck and killed a Miami pedestrian last Saturday morning on the way to the beach.

The vicitm, 59-year-old Mario Reyes, was on his way to catch a bus home from his all-night job as a construction crane operator when he was fatally run down by Stallworth's Bentley. Stallworth issued a statement on Wednesday saying that he was "grief stricken" over the incident.

Now comes breaking news that Stallworth tested legally drunk immediately following the accident, which (if confirmed) means that he could face up to 15 years in prison for felony manslaughter. How much do you wanna bet that if it had been Mario Reyes that killed someone driving drunk, he would do hard time-- no question. Let's see what effect money, influence and the NFL will have on Stallworth's fate . . .
