"Attempting to distribute cocaine" is worse then killing someone in a drunk driving accident? I'd like to hear that argument [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I meant worse than Vick. I mean, I probably don't think so, but I'm sure some do.

Ray Lewis plead to obstruction of justice in his mess.

Ironically, the two friends he flipped on were later found not guilty, so he was the only one who walked away from it with a conviction.

Mike Tyson LDO.

Todd Bertuzzi was convicted of assault charges for an on-ice hit on Steve Moore which broke his neck. He received 1 year probation and an indefinite suspension from the NHL. But because of the lockout season, he only served 20 games. Marty McSorley was also convicted of assault in an on-ice incident, but never made a successful return to the NHL (but probably because he was nearly 40 and couldn't play anymore).

If were getting into just DUI convictions, Odell Thurman will be serving a 4 game suspension to start this season after he got 6 days in rehab and 2 years probation.

Heatley was also seriously injured himself as a result of the crash and spent most of 03-04 rehabbing.

The death in that case was of his teammate Dan Snyder. Sad story.

Not to be callous, but that story isn't nearly as sad as the woman being killed by Little. A couple of buddies getting drunk and driving and one of them dying is nowhere near as tragic as taking out an innocent bystander.

Heatley wasn't drunk. If he was, that would have been prison + suspension 100% of the time, and Snyder's family would have never ever stood by him. Obv. speeding is not even near the same level of crime as drunk driving, regardless of the outcome.

If the US actually had roads where there were no speed limits, accidents like Heatley's 85 in a 40 would happen much much less. Highway speed limits encourage non-highway speeding.

Lee Hughes causing death by dangerous driving just got out after three years signed by league two Oldham was at Prem WBA before and was being touted for an England cap. Yet to make an appearance for Oldham.

He literally just got out though, so it may be a little bit before he plays for oldham so that he can get back into playing shape

Heatley wasn't legally drunk but he had been drinking.

Barry Bonds the grand jury convicted him after he admitted to using the cream and the clear. It's a fact.
