I remember reading about this when it happened, and couldn't believe it had happened. Meek, Please add me to your ping list for this trial.
Thanx, Eric

She doesn't face the Death Penalty on this one, though. Pretty strange, huh ??A difficult call, I'd guess. She didn't start out with the intention of murdering him, but once she kept him the garage to die, refusing him help, then wouldn't that be premeditated? I'm no legal begal, there has to be some reason why they aren't going for the death sentence in such a horrible case.
And please, add me to your ping list.

I was wondering if this case was ever going to come to trial. Now it looks like we might see it live on Court TV. I would like to be on the ping list though. Thanks for the ping.

Of course, how can one forget those stumps. (Selective amnesia, perhaps. . .the horror. . .the horror. . .)
To: MeeknMing
She is charged with murder, not capital murder. No DP.I'm disappointed at that decision.

Here's another pic of the defendant and the victim:

But officials from Fox News, the National Enquirer and Star , each of which helped propel the Peterson case to national prominence through omnipresent coverage, say they have no plans to send reporters to the Mallard trial. The outlets declined to explain their decisions. Take a look at Ms. Mallard. She's neither attractive nor sympathetic. The victim was a homeless man with few friends or relatives to interview endlessly.
There are no high-profile attorneys representing this woman or the victim.
Think of the backlash that would come from creeps like Leo Terrell and Jesse Jerkson if there were endless shows demonizing Ms. Mallard.
Think if the races and genders of the victim and perp had been reversed.

She is charged with murder, not capital murder. No DP. You're not DP eligible unless you commit a second felony in the commission of a murder or unless the murdered is an LEO.
DWI and failing to aid would both be misdemeanors, I believe, and the only proof of DWI would be the defendant's own statements since it was months afterwards that the crime was even discovered.
Set me up on the smaller ping list once the trial starts. I'm contemplating giving a heads up to my brother-in-law who has become a Court TV addict.

Shantae stated that the man was asking them to help him, but that they just walked back inside. Shantae advised that they waited until he died, which was a couple of days."
Makes one wonder about the autopsy/Medical examiner's statement that Biggs died in hours, not days later. Why would she lie about that ??? I don't think she'd have any reason to. Thanks for the link and text report.
