In addition to the 30 days in the Miami-Dade County Jail, Stallworth was sentenced to eight years of reporting probation, two years of community control -- which is essentially house arrest -- and a lifetime suspension of his driver's license. During the eight years of probation, Stallworth will undergo numerous drug and alcohol tests.

Also, Stallworth must donate $2,500 to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, repay the Miami Beach and Miami-Dade police for the investigation and perform 1,000 hours of community service.

Stallworth also recently reached a financial settlement with Reyes' family, although the details of the settlement have not been made public.

It was also said that Reyes may have been crossing the street illegally which may have made the case slightly more difficult to prosecute.

Comparing to the Vick case, Vick is much worse. Stallworth had a few drinks, was driving 10mph over, and hit a guy that was running across a street in the middle of the night. Vick killed and tortured countless dogs over a long period of time. Vick would most likely still be doing the same if he'd never been caught. Stallworth owned up to his mistake and showed remorse immediately.

A mistake that happened one night vs. long term behavior that only an absolutely sick individual would take part in.

As for Stallworth's sentence being light. Nothing is going to bring the family's father back, including 15 years in prison. If accepting a settlement helps the family for years to come but keeps Stallworth out of jail, why not?
