Interesting Donte Stallworth read...

Apparently, Stallworth's lawyers really thought they could get him off for hitting that guy last year, but he took the deal and refused to go to trial cause he didn't want to drag the victim's family through the courts, especially the daughter. This article claims he plead guilty to a lesser felony to spare them and to accept responsibility for his actions.

Wow - great story. Thanks for sharing. Here's hoping his chance at redemption pays off. I respect him for taking responsibility for his actions. I can think of a few other pro athletes who could learn a few lessons from him.
