So Mike Vick? Really, we are Actually Talking About Mike Vick?

So this is really starting to bother me. I actually created this Blog just because this bothered me so much that I just needed somewhere to vent without people thinking that I was a crazy person. People actually care this much that Mike Vick was allowed to get a job after serving his jail sentence but nobody says a fucking word about Donte' Stallworth killing an innocent man and receiving........Drumroll Please.......a whopping 24 days in jail? This man must have had the ghost of Johnnie Cochran as a lawyer. How can you possibly kill somebody and get less then a month in jail? Then I remembered the only thing worse then our economy is our legal system.

This is my idea, first off, forget the words "Plea Bargain" and let's throw the need for a unanimus guilty vote right out of the window. No more of this one person refuses to vote guilty because they feel bad sending a man to prison. We need to take more of a common sense approach to the criminal justice system. It seems as if the legal system is so caught up on big legal words that they have forgotten the most simple words and phrases that would instantly make legal proceedings go much faster.

Now, lets get back to me bitching about Donte Stallworth. The first thing I will say was that he did man up and admit he was wrong and did call the police as soon as he hit the man with his Bently after leaving a bar trashed. Now, lets see if we can follow this, he then gives the victim's family an undisclosed amount of money to avoid having to go through a civil trial. The victim's family then does not try to push the courts to give him jail time. Does this sound like some crazy shananagins to anyone else besides me??? He gives the family money and then they don't push the issue of Stallworth murdering a member of thier family. I will make this into a simple mathmatical equation for those of you who are not following. DUI Manslaughter=15 Years in prison. DUI Manslaughter+ an undisclosed amount of money to the victim's family= 24 days in jail +a lifetime suspention of a drivers license+ probation + House arrest. HE BOUGHT HIS WAY OUT OF JAIL. That is what is so wrong with the legal system. /endrant
