Solid take … I agree … It’s amazing how the victim’s family was ready to move on, and content with the punishment, after receiving an undisclosed amount of money from Stallworth

Tom, the case of In re: Florida Football Player just affirmed the principle set forth in In re: Rich, Beautiful People, in which the Florida Supreme Court decided that richer and more good-looking people were “sorrier” for their crimes than less rich, less good-looking people, especially when richer people kill less rich people. I believe this principle was heavily relied upon in State v. Jennifer Porter (Matt, look this little gem up). I do not miss living in Florida.

Matt:

After rambling on with some meaningless information about some guy getting hit by a car, you started to sneak up on the real point. You were beginning to get close, but just missed. You are not a lawyer, so you would not be expected to do a thorough, professional research of the law. In re: Florida Football Player. This is Florida. It’s in the law. Keep looking. It’s in there.

For a better understanding of how things work down here, read the “University of Florida Footbal Blotter” – lesser assignments relating to U of Miami, FSU, etc. can provide insight, too. This should clear things up.

But hurry. Those volumes seem to get expunged on a regular basis.
