MIAMI — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth’s arraignment in Miami on DUI manslaughter charges has been delayed until next month.

A judge granted prosecutors’ request to delay the arraignment from Thursday until June 4. Prosecutors gave no reason for the delay request and Stallworth’s attorney did not oppose it.

Stallworth has not yet entered a plea to charges he was driving drunk when he struck and killed a pedestrian on March 14. Tests showed Stallworth’s blood-alcohol level was .126, well above Florida’s .08 limit.

The 28-year-old Stallworth faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He is free on $200,000 bail.

According to ESPN, Stallworth may get off any serious sentence because of a certain clause in Florida law. Since the victim was jaywalking, he played a role in the accident. Stallworth may be able to be cleared by the start of the season.
