(AP) -- A judge in Miami is being asked to publicly release surveillance video of the drunk-driving crash in which Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth struck and killed a pedestrian.
The family of victim Mario Reyes doesn't want the state attorney's office to release the video to news outlets. Circuit judge Dennis Murphy set a hearing for Thursday on the issue.
Stallworth is serving a 30-day jail sentence for DUI manslaughter in the March 14 crash. Tests showed Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of 0.126, well above Florida's legal limit. Police said he had spent the night drinking at a swank Miami Beach nightclub.
The National Football League suspended Stallworth indefinitely.
Stallworth reached an undisclosed financial settlement with the Reyes family.
