I believe he's also paying out the ass to the family

not that all that makes it ok, but I think that's why the jail time is so short

Yeah, I see that point too. But, house arrest? Come on man. I cannot agree with the civil payment being a part of it. Because I cannot afford to pay millions to avoid jail. Is that fair? If I kill someone while driving drunk, I can't pay the family, and you can bet your ass I'll be sitting in a prison cell for more than 24 days.

I did read that one of the penalties is that he NEVER gets to drive again.
2 years house arrest, and I think probation was 7 years.
I have no idea what kind of money he shelled out, but there is merit to calling the police and standing against the charges.
He's clearly remorseful, as well.
So far as Goodell's actions, it's all about the money. Stallworth plays, the league takes flack and loses money. I wonder if he's called the family and expressed his heartfelt remorse. I sure wouldn't bank on it.

He can have a restricted driver's license after 5 years guys. House arrest is a joke, considering he can leave for work and such. Merit for calling police and cooperating? Yes and he shall be rewarded for that by not being charged with addition crimes. Like hit and run, or obstructing justice, or failure to report an accident. I'm sorry I don't have more compassion for his cooperation. I guess its my "cop" attitude.
