But he wasn't impaired. He wasn't driving smashed. 99.9999% chance he couldn't feel the alcohol in system whatsoever.

He was in the fast lane of 3 lane road.

He did hit his brakes. He assumed the guy wouldn't sprint out into the 3rd lane of a major road with on coming traffic. There was no crosswalk or whatever. He wasn't going 50 when he hit the guy, he slammed on his breaks when the guy bolted into the road.

Stallworth insisted on settling the case rather than fighting it, even though his lawyer said he most likely would have gotten off without any charges. He wanted to help the family while not causing them the pain that would go along with a long trial.
Also worth pointing out that Stallworth was out drinking, went home, went to sleep, woke up early and was going to go get some food in the morning when all this happened. He was still legally drunk at 7 AM, but it's not like he was driving right after partying. |
Exactly. It was the next morning, after Stallworth went to sleep and he hit a guy crossing a major road at 7am not at a crosswalk (I believe the guy was heavily impaired as well).
The plea deal was Stallworth taking the deal, despite the fact that he likely could have gotten off scott free, in order to avoid putting the family through a long trial where they sit through hearing about and seeing pictures of their loved one deceased. |
You believe wrong, Mario Reyes had just finished his shift as a crane operator. Lets not besmirch his name in an attempt to defend Stallworth, that is just in poor taste.

And no, Pedestrians don't always have the right of way.
