POTTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - An eastern Pennsylvania teenager will be on probation until his 21st birthday for his role in the fatal beating of an illegal Mexican immigrant.

Eighteen-year-old Brian Scully will remain under house arrest until a Schuylkill (SKOO'-kul) County judge releases him. He must also perform community service.

That blows. Looks like two others got off easy too.
& for the record I don't think Stallworth got off easy.....he's doing hard time with the Cleveland Browns.

I think Stallworth is suspended indefinitely from the NFL.

In terms of the beating, it's unnerving when the life of a human is no longer valued.

I'm not a big fan of this action. My SIL's childs father is currently serving time for a 3rd DUI. He is also allowed out 9-5 to work. Should his employer suspend him for a year too? How about fire him. How about hollywood suspending some people like Lindsey Lohan or the music industry suspending the ultimate role model Britney Spears?

Glad the NFL is finally taking a stand on this. Good for them. Nothing says that Stallworth can't volunteer somewhere, get another job for a year. He just can't live the privileged life in the NFL.

If Hollywood or recording contracts had substance abuse clauses in their contracts then they could suspend that person for as long as appropriate. But thye don't. The NFL does.
