Hey man, don't use facts and the law around here. The mob wants to believe the fix was in, they're not interested in your damn facts or laws.

There's also the fact that

Stallworth also must undergo drug and alcohol testing, will have a lifetime driver's license suspension and must perform 1,000 hours of community service
Yeah, a guy died and that's tragic, but it was an accident, the other guy was at least partly at fault, and the family was fine with the deal.
People always want to cry about victim's rights or the rights of their families when they want to throw the book at a guy....but nobody seems to care about what the family wants when the family realizes it was an accident and wants to go easy on the guy.

Mob mentality, isn't it fucking great?
