The Browns have made it clear that they are moving on without Donte Stallworth. Unfortunately, Stallworth did not make any sort of football impact on Cleveland last season anyway.
This whole situation has been tragic, but it is another instance of the judicial system working in the favor of Professional athletes with a lot of money. I have no stake in the future of Mr. Stallworth, but it continues to be clear that with a lot of money and some star power, you can avoid the pressure of the law.

If Stallworth was an everyday Clevelander, he might not even be able to afford an attorney who could make such deal happen.
