I seriously hope it was an accident and not a DUI. 

Hey Defense, if it WAS an honest accident, can he be sent to jail?

They wouldn't charge him with anything if it were an accident.

But his insurance would go SKY HIGH..... not that he couldn't afford the increase.

Of course not. Accidents happen all the time.  Hopefully there were wittnesses.  If this guy was Jay Walking its on him. Then again if Mr Stallworth was going 55 in a 35.......he's gonna shell out some $$$. But its still not criminal unless it was ruled reckless by the investigator. Blood Test is Mandatory in a THI. (Traffic Homicide Investigation) .

  This is the 4th former Tenn player to be involved in something like this.  3rd one to kill someone.

Yes it could be involuntary manslaughter. The manslaughter charge exists to cover people who accidentally kill someone.

Hey guys, think of the bright side of this...at least Stallworth isn't a New England Patriot anymore.


I know, tasteless.

Seriously, I hope the family of the deceased makes it through okay.

Involuntary manslaughter is a charge for someone who kills someone by being careless, but not pre-meditated. He would have to have committed a traffic infraction and be ticketed to be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

If he was speeding and ran the guy over, that's a traffic infraction isn't it??

Going twenty miles over the speed limit in a residential/business district is careless, which meets the minimum litmus test for consideration of involuntary/vehicular manslaughter charges. What did my post state that seemed joking?

So my statement was correct.  If it was truly an accident, the driver would not be charged with anything. Right?

Apparently not.  The question is, how fast was he going?  Also, was he under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
