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!!!!

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?

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!
