What the *&%$ is wrong with people???????????
 

How someone could do this is beyond me. I agree that a new level of inhumanity was just reached. Sorry, had to vent...

Man Lives 2 Days Stuck In Broken Windshield

Hit-And-Run Victim Eventually Dies In Driver's Garage

FORT WORTH, Texas -- A man who was the victim of a hit-and-run lived at least two days trapped in a broken windshield before dying in the driver's garage in Fort Worth, Texas, police said.

"Maybe we've just redefined inhumanity," a prosecutor in Fort Worth said about the October 2001 incident.

Police arrested a 25-year-old woman -- a nurse's aide -- in the man's hit-and-run death.

Police told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the victim was trapped in the broken windshield of the car that hit him and begged for help before he finally died of blood loss and shock.

According to a police statement, the woman panicked, and with the man still lodged in the windshield, she drove a few miles to her home, parked in her garage, and ignored his pleas for help until he died. His body was later dumped.

The driver told them she'd been drinking and using drugs when she struck the man, police said.

The woman told police she occasionally went into the garage, apologizing to the victim. The impact had hurled him headfirst through the windshield, his broken legs sticking out onto the hood.

Sick
 

SICK, SICK, SICK!!!!:mad:
I can't even call that woman a human being. And to top it off, she was a NURSE'S AIDE!!!! Aren't nurse suppose to be kind and compassionate? She is disgusting and I pray that she is prosecuted to the fullest extent.

That is just disgusting. I hope justice is served.

All she did was think about herself which is sad. I am pretty sure I know where she will end up.

Dear Lord. I just am at a loss for words. Truly disgusting.

That woman is pure evil. I am horrified by her selfishness and cruelty.

The death penalty exists in Texas, right?

You bet your bippy it does! We love our right to inject here!!

Quite frankly, I think a lethal injection is far too humane for this particular murderer. I think the Old Testament's "eye for an eye" method of justice should be used in this case.

Couldn't agree more dzrose!!!!! People like this disgust me. I can't believe someone would do that to another human being. That's just so incredibly sad. I don't want to even imagine what that man's family is going through now.

How did she not think she'd get caught? For gods sake, she went back and apologized to the guy dying in her garage? What possesess people to be this stupid and cruel?

That is not justice, that is revenge. This woman is sick. She should be put to death. But, humanely. She lost her humanity. If we do something equally bad to her (i.e. eye for an eye) then we lose part of our humanity too. We need to be better than sick people in order to keep our humanity. Even though what she did is horrible beyond words, we should never let this type of thing desensitise us or bring us down to that level.

I am in agreement with everyoneon this one. Sick. I am pro-death penalty. What she did was horrible. But I think people throw that passage around too much without knowing the FULL passage. "An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, vengance is mine sayeth the lord." Lets call the death penalty what it is, punichment, not a deturant. I also say the lethal injection is too kind. Put her ina bathtub and throw an old toaster in. Cheap, yet effective (j/k) One thing to remember tho is that as a society, we are judged by how we treat those we see as most contemptable.

I agree with you, lifesaver, about how we are judged by others based on how we treat our enemies/criminals/etc. It just seems like crime in the USA is getting worse every day, and our justice system isn't doing much to fix the problem. :(

Our tax dollars pay for these cold-blooded murderers to remain alive in jail cells -- getting college educations, watching TV, working out on exercise equipment, etc. -- for several years until they are FINALLY put to death with a little needle. Seems like there ought to be a better way to deal with these criminals that will satisfy both the victims' families and the onlookers who judge America by our justice system.

I'm a little confused about the story...

She hit a man's car and he became lodged into his windshield? Then she drove his car with him in it to her garage where he later died? Am I reading this correctly?

If this is true, how on EARTH did no one notice? I'm so confused!

Hootie:(

I believe he was a pedestrian and became lodged after she hit him.

There are no words to describe this...I think I need to vomit!

Just reading this brought tears to my eyes - it made me so sad.

It makes you wonder how people like this are left to walk the earth, and others that are good people die young, die horrible deaths, and leave people that love them behind.

I feel sorry for everyone involved.

I don't know what else to say but that is the most horific thing I have ever heard. What was she thinking?!?!

This is horrible. I don't know how one human could do this to another.. and she apologized? WTF???

Hootie,
The only thing that I can think is that perhaps it was late at night and so there was little or no traffic on the road. Also, perhaps she drove down side streets where there would not much chance of seeing other cars.

This whole story makes me ill to my stomach.

Disgusting. :(

Well said, OP.

I saw the story on TV. Evidently, she was a 25 year old nurse's aid who had been drinking and taking X. Which is not an excuse. He was a homeless guy. When she got home, she checked on him several times to see if he had died yet. He bled to death very slowly (over two days) and could easily have been saved. Yeah, shes another in this line of incredible sickies that keeps getting longer and more bizarre.

Sounds like something from a Stephen King novel!
I think the charge is going to be murder.

On the news today, they reported that she has been charged with murder. She's out on bail now.

They should have even given her bail. She didn't give tht poor guy a chance.:mad:

I saw this story on the news last night. And they showed the man's mother standing near where his body had been dumped. She was absolutely devastated. The whole thing just dumbfounds me. I just don't know how someone could do this to another person. My heart really goes out to the man's family. :(

This story is pretty big, it was on the Vancouver 6o'clock news last night - apparently the girl who hit the guy was telling somebody about it at a party, and someone else overheard and called the police.

From what I heard on the news, she was at a party and she was bragging about hitting the guy.

God and I didnt think the story could make me any sicker. Bragging? Ick.

Trial Begins in Death-By-Windshield Case

Jun 23, 7:46 PM (ET)
By ANGELA K. BROWN
(AP) Chante Jawan Mallard, right, is escorted into the 371st District Court in Fort Worth, Texas,...

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Jurors saw pictures of the twisted, bruised and bloody body of a homeless man Monday as a former nurse's aide went on trial on charges she hit him with her car, drove home with his body lodged grotesquely in the windshield and left him to die in her garage.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys in the murder case both said Chante Jawan Mallard, 27, smoked marijuana, took Ecstasy and drank heavily in the hours before she hit Gregory Biggs on a highway in the early hours of Oct. 26, 2001. The defense doesn't dispute what happened but says it was an accident, not murder.

Defense attorney Jeff Kearney said Mallard was just one exit from her home, so she kept driving with "a body entirely in her car, the head in the floorboard, legs going in directions that no one thought humanely possible. You can't imagine."

Mallard faces life in prison if convicted of murder. She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, tampering with evidence, before attorneys began opening statements on the murder charge. The tampering charge could lead to a sentence of two to 10 years.

When the images of Biggs' mangled body were shown on a large screen in the courtroom Monday, Mallard looked down, and some jurors looked away. Biggs' relatives were not in the room when the photos were displayed.

Although Mallard had taken drugs, prosecutor Christy Jack said she could have stopped at a nearby fire or police station or called an ambulance after she hit Biggs.

She said Mallard stopped briefly and tried to get Biggs off her car, but when she couldn't, she drove about a mile to her home. Mallard then called one of her friends to pick her up, Jack said.

The friend later told Mallard to call 911, he said.

"Chante refused, because she didn't want her parents to know what she'd done and didn't want to go to jail," Jack said.

Kearney said after Mallard pulled into her garage and lowered the door, she sat in the car and cried, repeatedly apologizing to Biggs, who was moaning.

When the friend arrived at the house, Mallard was hysterical and "was blabbing, 'Lord, I'm sorry. What do I do? Lord, I'm sorry. It was an accident. What do I do?'" Kearney said.

Biggs, 37, a former bricklayer who had been living in a homeless shelter, was found dead the next day, his body dumped in a park.

Mallard's attorney said Clete Jackson, one of two men who pleaded guilty to helping dump the body, orchestrated moving Biggs to the park.

Jackson received a 10-year sentence for tampering with evidence. His cousin, Herbert Tyrone Cleveland, received nine years. As part of plea agreements, they were to testify at Mallard's trial.

Police initially said Biggs lived for several days in Mallard's garage, slowly bleeding to death from his multiple fractures and cuts.

But Tarrant County Medical Examiner Nizam Peerwani later said Biggs, whose left leg was nearly amputated, probably lived only a few hours after he was hit. He could have survived if he had received medical attention, Peerwani said.

When Biggs' body was found in the park, authorities had no leads until four months later, when a tipster said Mallard talked about the incident at a party.

:( :mad:

I vote for immediate castration, and then maybe the death penalty later. Stupid heartless people such as this shouldn't breed.

This is definitely not one of Fort Worth's more shining moments. I am embarrassed that this one thing is all a lot of people will know about my city. What is wrong with people that someone would do such an awful thing?:(

Isn't she female though?

"Bullet in the back of the head... sentence to be carried out immediately. Bailiff, perform your duty!":mad:

Re: Sick
 

I have to get this off of my chest. Part of my job is the hiring and management of nurses aides. I have to tell you, the majority of them are in it only because the pay is decent, the title seems "important" and they couldn't find work doing anything else. In fact, when this story broke, and we heard that she was a nurses aide, everyone in my office said, "Figures."

To the small percentage of nurses aides to whom this does not apply, I sincerely apologize.

Words escape me for how wrong this woman was. How can you possibly watch someone die over a period of days? She puts new meaning into cruel & unusual...

Legal question
 

Okay legal question...


If you are driving under the influence and you kill someone how can they say it was an accident? It's illegal to drive while intoxicated or under the influence of illegal drugs, and no one forced her to takes these substances, jow can they argue that it was an accident? She can't be so stupid (well maybe she can) as to know the effects of drugs and alcohol on driving...I mean she's a nurses aid for crying out loud!

Who were the "smart" people that decided to help dump the body? Hell, it only cost them 10 years in prison. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
