I could understand, at least a little, if the victim was dead and she tried to cover it up, not that it's right, but I could see it happen.
Most people would call someone to help a cat or dog hit by a car.
This women is going to spend a long time in jail or there truly is a deep and serious problem with our country.
She's in deep trouble.
That hopefully is an understatement.
It will be interesting to see what liberal pop icon pops out of the woodwork to defend the defenseless, once again.
Someone that will pick up the lawyers contention that the perpetrator of this crime is actually the victim?
You are probably right. Where is Jesse JackA**, anyway?. . .
Wasn't Hillary outraged about the plight of the homeless during the election.
How come she's not down there running her mouth in defense of this guy?
The average time severed in prison for those convicted of murder, is 96 months. For manslaughter it is 49 months(Bureau of Justice Statistics 1990-2000, reported in USA Today, October 24, 2001) .
They're busy right now calculating whether they can get any political juice out of this. It looks to be very complicated--
You've got a woman, so that's +20 points;
Black (+50);
She's not a single mother (+0);
Hit a white male (+5);
But he's homeless (-30);
She was driving drunk (-15);
It happened in Texas so it's George Bush's fault (+45);
Divide by 4.7, multiply by the square root of -1.........
Paging Alan Dershowitz, paging Alan Dershowitz!
So far, I haven't heard Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson racing to her defense. Guess even they can see nothing to gain by defending her.
My money is on the red cross.
That would be interesting. Defending a young black woman's "unstandable" anger against "white men's dominance" which surely she reacted to.
Indeed, many if not all States have laws which *require* you to assist an animal injured in traffic.
Then there's the fact that Ms. Mallard worked as a nurse's assistant. That means she has a small scrap of medical knowledge...yet she didn't even try to do the smallest thing to help the guy. She worked around medical professionals and medical facilities and didn't even attempt First Aid.
She could've had her "friends" deliver him to the nearest emergency room parking lot while still alive... and she still chose to let him bleed to death.
The usual saviors of the protected class have a real problem in this case. If only the victim had been a successful businessman instead of a homeless guy, their task would be so much easier.
I think you meant to say "to defend the infedensible".
