You get someone like Donte Stallworth who kills someone with his car while drunk and stoned and gets a slap because he has money....

Stallworth was charged with DUI manslaughter on April 1, 2009; he surrendered to police on April 2, 2009, and was released on $200,000 bail.[28] As a result of a plea deal, he received a sentence of 30 days in the county jail, plus 1,000 hours of community service, 2 years of community control, and 8 years probation.[29] He has also received a life-time suspension of his Florida state driver's license.[30] On July 10, 2009, Stallworth was released from county jail after serving 24 days of a 30-day sentence.
"The Associated Press reported on June 16, 2009, that Stallworth and the Reyes family reached a financial agreement, avoiding a civil lawsuit. The amount of the settlement was not disclosed.[31]
On August 13, 2009, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated that Stallworth would be suspended for the entire 2009 season without pay. Stallworth was reinstated after Super Bowl XLIV."

Cecil just doesn't have money...that's why he's getting the max here.

Leonard Little killed a woman in a DUI accident in 1998 (.19 BAC), received 4 years probation, 1000 hours of community service and no jail time. He got another DUI in 2004 and again received probation and no jail time. He admitted to drinking in the 2004 case but somehow got the DUI dropped.
