Women Drivers
 

I was listening to the radio while driving to work. I understand a 25yr. old female hit a homeless man, continued to drive while the man was stuck to window of her car. This chick left a live man on her car for 3 days in her garage. She then talked friends into helping her hide the body after the guy died. Somebody tell me it's not true. Does anyone have the article? If so, please attached the story. I just don't believe it.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Unfortunately, it is true:

Texas Woman Charged With Murder
Fri Mar 8, 6:37 AM ET
By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - A woman accused of hitting a homeless man with her car, driving home with him lodged in her broken windshield and ignoring his pleas as he bled to death in her garage is not the monster being portrayed by prosecutors, her attorney says.

Police say Chante J. Mallard, 25, waited two days for the man to die, ignoring his pleas for help, and then dumped his body in a park with the help of friends.

Mallard was charged with murder Wednesday night and released after posting bail. She faces five years to life in prison if convicted.

"She is not the monster that police and prosecutors are making her out to be," said Mike Heiskell, Mallard's attorney. "She was simply a frightened, emotionally distraught young woman who had an accident, panicked and made a wrong choice."

Heiskell said his client is guilty only of failing to stop and render aid — not murder.

He said the victim, Gregory Biggs, died a few hours after Mallard drove home and was in her garage no more than 24 hours. He said her friends advised her not to call for help and suggested dumping the body.

Biggs, whose body was found in a park on Oct. 27, suffered cuts and broken legs but had no internal injuries that would have caused his death, according to the medical examiner's office.

"There's a pretty good possibility he'd be alive if he'd gotten help, but she concealed the body in the garage ... so that's why she's charged with murder," said Fort Worth police Lt. David Burgess.

When Biggs' body was found, authorities suspected he had been hit by a car, but they had no leads until a tipster came forward last week.

Biggs, 37, had struggled with mental illness and had been staying at a homeless shelter, where workers said he often brought them flowers. He was estranged from his mother and sister. He also had a 19-year-old son who only recently found out about the tragic death, relatives said.

The son, Brandon Biggs, has questions for Mallard, but he says he isn't angry.

"I pray for her, actually," the high school senior told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in Friday's editions.

"I'd just like to talk to her — just ask questions and see why, to get a better understanding I suppose," he said.

Police reported finding Biggs' blood and hair on Mallard's car, still in her garage more than four months after the crash. The windshield and front seats had been removed.

The tipster told police that Mallard said she was drinking and taking the drug Ecstasy one night in October when her car hit the man along a Fort Worth highway near her house.

The tipster said Mallard drove home, had sex with her boyfriend, then went back to the garage to find Biggs still alive, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.

In her statement to police, however, Mallard said she felt "like someone had slipped her something" and did not mention any drug use, the Dallas Morning-News reported in Friday's editions. And Heiskell said the tipster's claims were embellishments.

"This was not a friend of Chante's. In fact, they were enemies," he said. He added that the tipster wanted to portray Mallard "in the worse light possible."

Mallard later told investigators she apologized to the victim when she returned to the garage several times, but she never called for help as he moaned and pleaded with her, according to the affidavit.

"We intend to prosecute this fully," said Richard Alpert, a Tarrant County assistant district attorney.

Mallard told investigators she removed the car seats and burned them because she was afraid of being caught and going to jail, according to the affidavit. She planned to burn the car and buy another one after receiving her income tax refund, according to the affidavit.

Charges may be filed against the friends who helped dump Biggs' body, Burgess said.

Ecstasy is some good shit - - - in fact too good! I can't think of taking something that would make me act that craczy. My mounth is haning open. She went home and had sex and then checked on the man - damn!

HELL NAW!!:mad:
:mad: :mad: :mad:

I had heard about this but did not know her name was CHANTE.:eek: :eek: :eek:

I AM PISSED @ this. A man's life gone because of her selfishness and ignorance. Did you see how she is going to buy a new car with her income tax refund.

Two black folks caught doing dumb chit.

I'm still trying to find a photo of CHANTE! This whole situation, like Mr. Cremation, makes me cringe. :eek: :eek:

PS: On the NPHC list, one of the posters noted that Ms. Mallard allegedly bragged to her boyfriend about the accident, saying she "hit a white man."

the plot thickens - this is really sad

she drove all the way into her garage. Now what in the world was on her mind? She didn't even help the person. It's reported that he plead for her to help, but she didn't

:mad:

I wonder if she was drunk or on some type of drugs when this happened.:confused: :eek:

this story continues to get wackier and wackier. almost to the point, where i'm hoping someone is playing a sick joke on the associated press. this story is so utterly ridiculous. as a lawyer, how in the world do you even begin to defend this chick?

Professor, A question....
 

What does this incident have to do with woMEN drivers? Yes, it has something to do with a SPECIFIC (PACIFIC...LOL) driver who is a woman, but there was only one woman. :D :p

Are you trying to say something?

:confused:

Allegedly, she was taking X or ecstasy.

Also, here is a link w/Ms. Mallard's picture:

Some drunk or high people leave the scene of an accident, so when they are caught they can say they were just scared. Instead of drunk or high.

I still don't understand why she took the man home with her. It seems like she would tried to get off of her car. To me that would have been more humane. Instead of just letting the suffer for days.:confused: :confused:

UPDATE
 

Texas woman indicted in hit-and-run death of homeless man
04/25/2002 10:13 PM EDT

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - A former nurse's aide accused of hitting a homeless man with her car and leaving him to die on her windshield was charged Thursday with murder.

Chante J. Mallard, 25, also was indicted on a charge of tampering with evidence in the death of 37-year-old Gregory Biggs, a former bricklayer who had been living in a homeless shelter.

Mallard remains jailed on $250,000 bond.

"She committed or attempted to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life," the grand jury wrote in the indictment. "(She) ... transported Greg Biggs to her home when he was seriously injured and lodged in her car ... and (concealed) him in her garage, which prevented him from receiving medical care, which caused the death of Greg Biggs."

Attorneys for both sides declined to comment Thursday, citing a judge's gag order.

Mallard told investigators she was returning home from a nightclub Oct. 26 when she hit the man as he walked along a highway, according to police records. She said he remained lodged in her windshield, but she was scared and drove home anyway and parked in her garage.

Mallard told police she was upset and apologized to the man but never sought help for Biggs, who authorities say could have survived if he had received medical attention.

Biggs' body was found in a park Oct. 27, but police had no leads in the case until a tipster came forward four months later, saying Mallard talked and laughed about the incident at a party.

When investigators talked to Mallard, they found the car's seats burned in the back yard, police said.

After Mallard was arrested in February, police said preliminary findings in the investigation showed that Biggs may have lived two or three days in the garage.

But Dr. Nizam Peerwani, Tarrant County medical examiner, has said Biggs probably died from blood loss a few hours after he was hit because of his severe injuries, including the near amputation of his left leg.
