But Ms. Mallard's attorney said that many details of the case have been overblown and that his client is devastated by the accident and seeking counseling.

"She is not the cold, harsh, inhumane person they would have you think," defense attorney Mike Heiskell said. "This girl is not a monster."

Q. Why do scientists prefer lawyers over rats for their lab experiments?

A.
1. Lawyers multiply faster than rats.
2. The researchers grow too attached to the rats.
3. There are some things rats just won't do.

The comment I read before was "I think we have defined humanity here" by one of the officers involved in the investigation.

I can't express my thoughts here but to say the least, a slow lingering death for this woman would be a kindness.

Ms. Mallard was charged on Feb. 26 with felony failure to stop and render aid.

That's it? WTF? What sort of sentence is she facing with this charge?

In the arrest affidavit, Ms. Mallard told police that after she returned home, she "sat there and cried and kept telling the white male that was sticking though her windshield that she was sorry."

A female person of color just pushed to the brink by generations of white male oppression. Nothing to see here folks. Just move on. </sarcasm>

RACIST HATE CRIME

Or did you think it wouldn't be portrayed as such by race-baiters like Sharpton and Jackson?

Where is CNN? ABC? CBS? NBC?

No race issue here?

WHY?

Try hideous, grotesque, and depraved.

"No race issue here? WHY?"

Because it was a white male that was the victim. The lives of white people are now worth less than those of black people. This is reverse discrimination at it's worst!

Racist hate crime is right and the press didn't report it till now BECAUSE????? This woman and her boyfriend who told her not to worry about it were black and the victim was white. The press would have been all over this before the case got to the courts if the races were reversed.

There is no "reverse discrimination", there is only discrimination.
