Justice Says Money Talks, Killers Walk —Cagle

Twenty-four years in prison is just ridiculously long for the crime of stealing this money. She's 48 years old now. Should Vickie have to spend what could be the rest of her life rotting in jail? It says here...no.

By contrast, we have the case of football player Donte Stallworth, who struck and killed a 59-year-old man in Miami while driving under the influence. His blood-alcohol level was .126, well above the Florida legal limit of .08. Stallworth got a prison sentence of 24 as well...24 days. He was sentenced to 30 days, and let out early. And after a one-year suspension, the NFL reinstated Stallworth into football society. He promptly signed a one-year contract valued at $1.2 million, including incentives.
