One is largely worse than the other, but its not as if Donte wanted this to happen. I realize most driving driving accidents arent something people want to happen.
However he showed considerable remorse and I bet he'll see the man's face in his dreams everytime he goes to sleep, and I can't even begin to imagine what that might be like.
Its a horrible thing that happened, one I hope no person should suffer through... because nobody wins in this situation.

While I disagree with the majority of your post, I do agree that I think the remorse that Stallworth showed after the accident along with the financial settlement probably helped him with the family.
If you are drunk, don't drive! One of the best announcements I have ever heard after a professional hockey league game was when the announcer said "Please Be Careful on your way home and drive safely because I am walking".
