Friday, June 19th, 2009DallasNews.com notes that MADD is a little upset with the plea deal reached by Donte Stallworth following his killing of a pedestrian while driving with a .126 BAC.
According to Miami-Dade County prosecutors, they agreed to the 30-day plea bargained sentence because he was remorseful and cooperative and it was what the family wanted. Stallworth also reach a financial settlement with the family, but the terms are not being disclosed.
