Stallworth may be saved some by the fact the pedestrian was not in a crosswalk. There is obviously no excuse for Stallworth to be driving drunk, but my understanding is that if a pedestrian jaywalks and gets hit (in the absence of a drunk driver) the pedestrian is at fault.
Obviously Stallworth will be punished heavily (and should be), but I wonder if the pedestrian is partially at fault and that takes some of the blame off Stallworth
So basically if someone is not using the crosswalk, he is open game?

I am not postitive, but I am pretty sure that if you aren't speeding or breaking any traffic violations and you accidentally hit a pedestrian jay walking, they are 100% at fault. In fact, I believe you can sue them for damage done to your car.
Now you can't intentionally hit them, so no they aren't "open game"
