Overshadowed, though, is what Stallworth did after it was clear he had accidentally killed a man with his car. He ordered his lawyers to accept a plea deal that convicted him of a felony even when evidence showed he had an excellent chance of being found innocent. He said Reyes' death was enough of his fault that there shouldn't be a trial and Reyes' family shouldn't have to sit in a courthouse and relive his death all over again.
