Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth is set to be arraigned on DUI-manslaughter charges.
Stallworth does not have to be present at Thursday morning's hearing. He is expected to enter a written plea of not guilty, and a trial date will be set.
Authorities say Stallworth was driving drunk when he struck and killed a pedestrian while returning from a night of partying in Miami Beach on March 14. The 28-year-old Stallworth was released by Miami authorities after posting $200,000 bail.
If convicted of DUI manslaughter, Stallworth faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.
