Only in America/Don King

haha, my sister my friend and i were talking about that earlier. WE go, shit if it was us, we would have gotten 15 years and that was that.

Its crazy how he only got 30 days for killing someone. I know someone who was with her BF who did some drug deal and she got 7 years for it. She was just driving her bf to the spot and she got 7 ****ing years. First time ever getting into trouble. Yet he kills someone and 30 days.

Sounds like a good settlement.

OMG. 30 days.

Try 15 years.

I guess it was more important for the victim's family to get money than justice.

Oh well. Money can't bring back the dead, but it can buy the living lots of cool stuff.

:shake:

Do you have 5 mil to give to the family? No. You point is kind of killed by the fact that the victims family AGREED AND BARGAINED for this. If they had never agreed to it, then he would get years in jail. So it's not like its just his celebrity status that allowed him to get off so light.


But still, 30 days in jail, 10 years probation, 2 years house arrest, and 5 million gone is plenty.

The family shouldn't be allowed to try a criminal case.

Money talks...

I agree with this. They should have taken him to civil court after his criminal case.

Why? They got a ton without going through any risk. I have mixed feelings on this thing, but there had to be something to the guy being somewhat at fault. The 30 days thing is what opens ones eyes. Hope the family enjoys the money.

What risk would they have been taking?

Driving drunk and killing someone walking in an intersection, your sentence should not be in DAYS. NO WAY!

Doesn't suprise me.
The way our judicial system works anymore is a travesty. Most of the time the end result of any court proceeding is directly related to how much money you have.

It just amazes me that a judge would even consider this.
