Say hello to Stallworth: man hit by Stallworth wasn't in crosswalk.
In fact, he was in the far-left lane of a busy six-lane highway when Stallworth hit him. Jesus H. Christ. I've jaywalked on occasion, but only on quiet two-lane streets...not six-lane highways.
Doesn't mean anything yet. If he was drunk, he's still responsible.
legally, yes. But the fucking idiot got what he deserved.
If you jaywalk, you deserve to die? Quite a stretch there.
-That said, the fucking idiot was crossing the street out of a crosswalk and got hit. I jaywalk all the time, but the assumption is that if you jaywalk, your life is at risk and in your own hands. His own fault, whether Stallworth was drunk or not. What a dumbass.
If you jaywalk, yes, you should be prepared to die.

I'm a drinker but he had a BAC of .14 at 7:00 AM. :Q
IDK if he was just starting or ending the "drinking night" but that's pretty heavy duty.
If you have a hard time believing a .14 at 7:00am, you are not a drinker.

It doesnt MATTER. Crosswalk or not, if you hit a person on foot with an automobile you ARE AT FAULT. The only exception is if they purposely jumped right in front of you.
Stallworth will be charged with vehicular manslaugher or vehicular homicide. HE WILL face a minimum prison sentence.
Not true. If you jaywalk and step out in front of a moving car and the driver is not impaired he will not be charged unless it can be shown that he had ample time to react and take action to avoid hitting the pedestrian.
Most of the time you are deemed to have ample time to stop or avoid the accident.
In this case, he 1. was impaired 2. had ample time avoid contact, and 3. had ample room avoid contact

Well, I wouldn't the guy deserved to die, but he did put his life at an unnecessary risk and paid the price for it. Just dumb.

seriously, I think a few people in this thread are having issues differentiating between "deserving" to die and "putting yourself in a situation where your life is at risk." Under the seemingly popular view in this thread, every skydiver, race car driver, thrill seeker, etc. "deserves" to die. I wasn't aware that taking unnecessary risks made someone deserving of death, but hey, to each his own I guess.

You can attack semantics all you want - I already said I jaywalk all the time.
The point is, everyone here is jumping on Stallworth, when in fact the pedestrian is just as at fault if not more. Its his own fault he is dead.

Think of it this way then: The pedestrian gave his life in an extreme road block to get another drunk driver off the road. The fact remains that he blew a .14 which is way over the limit and should be dealt with accordingly. Just because the pedestrian was in the wrong does not excuse Stallworth from driving drunk.

At 7:00am just about anyone can blow .14 or even higher with the right mouthwash or cold/cough medicine.

This. They both got what they deserved.
Manslaughter Conviction
After attending a drunken birthday party in 1998, Little crashed into and killed another motorist, Susan Gutweiler in St. Louis, MO. When tested, his blood alcohol level measured 0.19 percent, a level that exceeds the statutory level of intoxication of 0.08 in the state of Missouri. Little received 90 days in jail, four years probation and 1000 hours of community service.
