Vick vs. Stallworth

Michael Vick just finished serving two years in prison for running a dog fighting ring. In my opinion, he should have served this time for this outrageous crime. Justice was served. Dante Stallworth just finished serving a mont in prison for taking a human life. Are you kidding me? Since when is the life of many dogs worth more than a human life. Don't get me wrong. Both are heinous. But come on. How can Stallworth serve only one month?!?

One answer I get is because he killed this person while driving drunk. So another words because he was committing one crime (drinking in driving), he gets a lesser sentence for committing another crime (murder). That has never made too much sense to me. Yes, I do understand that he didn't intend on taking a life, but I don't have much compassion for someone who decides to get behind the wheel after drinking. The sentence should be MUCH more than one month. And quite honestly it should be longer than the two years Vick just served.
