Bizarre details of man's death revealed

Fort Worth Star-Telegram ^ | 3/7/02 | Deanna Boyd

Don't worry, pretty soon we'll find out she was mentally ill and if anything is a victim herself

That's true. Can you imagine how traumatic it was for her to have this guy breaking and entering her windshield and then refusing to leave her home? She should be able to sue the dead man's family for big bucks. Her lawyer's really out-to-lunch on this one. She's got "victim" written all over her! In blood!

Thanks for posting this. I was shocked when I heard this on the radio this morning.
I was going to post it, but my search found your article posted already.

Mallard told police she periodically went into the garage to check on the man.

When the man died, several of the woman's acquaintances helped remove his body

I can't decide which part of this is sicker.

My jaw is just hanging open; I can't get it to close.

What kind of hellish society are we living in that such people are walking among us? "A NURSES AID?!!?"

I tell you: This is the culmination of two generations of expelling God from public life, and teaching others of their "victimization" that allows them to do whatever they wish with impunity.

NOTE: There is actually and attorney low enough to EXCUSE this behavior! AND FUTHER NOTE: Her "friends" helped her dispose of the body. Only ONE PERSON "couldn't live with" the knowledge and was willing to turn her in.

My God, my God, NOW I know why thou has foresaken us!

[Illbay]

I was disgusted by some of the "hilarious" remarks to the thread about the guy who lived for hours after being cut in half by a diesel rig.

You have GOT to be kidding! Did you file an abuse report? People ought to get expelled for stuff like that!

The story doesn't tell me the race of the parties involved. I've not seen this on the cable and haven't seen any of the "Breaking News" banners so, I'm betting the dead man is white (who cares about a dead white man) and the woman who hit him and her friends who helped move the body are not.

A dead black man with white evil doers, of course, would have Bareback Jackson and Al Sharpton camped in Fort Worth. For those who claim that the media is objective and does not have an agenda, these are the kinds of stories that help one confirm/reject that thesis.

I suppose her defense will be that due to the amounts of extasy and alcohol she had been taking earlier, she was not in her right mind and so should be found innocent by reason of temporary insanity.

The charges should be:
Failing to render aid.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
Murder.

She's a female don't you know, PMS made her do it! 2 years in low security and probation.

I think you just left off your /sarcasm note?. . .

Texas doesn't blink an eye when it's a woman that does something horrible like this. Ever heard of Darlie Routier? She stabbed her little ones to death in my home town and currently is on death row. She used to work where I did, and she was one strange cookie then, IMO. . .

[Illbay]

HA! The official position of the Libertine Party! (Where a foetus is an "invader" of the woman's body--don't deny this, I've been told that very thing too many times to count, by Libertines on FR).

[KSCITYBOY]

She should get the chair in short bursts of juice that leave her in pain but don't allow her to die for 2 or 3 days. What a cold self-centered person.

"I think this is overreaching on the part of the prosecution and the police, and in the end, I believe the law will shake out that this was simply a case of failure to stop and render aid," Heiskell said.

OMG!!! WHat's this - the Ted Kennedy defense team?

I agree too about the "race" of the people involved - you can almost bet that the dead man is white. Otherwise this would've been the #1 story on all the networks, and something Jesse & AL could CARE about.

[MeekOneGOP]

That's a criminal defense lawyer for ya, TxBec. That made me cringe when I read it too! G-r-r-r!

So far, I haven't seen any posts about her friends helping her dump the body. That is strange, too!
Some crowd of FRiends SHE has, huh??

Yeah... and I remember a certain presidential candidate trying to make a big deal about W coming from "the execution state". What was that guy's name, anyway? Al something...

Sure, lawyers have to try and defend clients etc But only in the post-Clinton era could something like this be said.

[TxBec]

I heard all about that one..sick.

[SpookBrat]

Oh my dear God, Meek. Where have I been? This is the first I have heard of this. I've got goose bumps and I'm shaking. I don't even know what to say. I honestly think I'm going to be sick. I just can't imagine. I feel like crying. This is so incredibly sad.

She hit a man and drove home with him stuck in the windshield? Didn't anyone see a man sticking out of a car? How could she do this? How could anyone shut their garage door on another human being in pain...then go back in and say "I'm sorry". SORRY?????

I'm absolutely furious.

[AppyPappy]

Didn't anyone notice something weird when she drove to work with him in the windshield?

[kaylar]

Nope. Maybe I should have. I have never been so disgusted with some of the people on this site as I was that day. And to make it worse, it was several people making replies to each other, egging each other on and encouraging each other. It was absiolutely vile.

Repulsive. I can’t remember a time when I heard such a BS sentence.

LOL! Oh, yeah. Isn't al a homeless person with a beard now??? :O)
