The last sentence of this article pretty much makes the case for the prosecution. What a nice bunch of people!

[stimpyone]

i suppose dropping her through a windshield isn't a sentencing option?

[JennysCool]

There's a UPN sitcom in this. I just know there is.

"Depraved indifference. Big time."

Yep, that's the crime, what's the time? I suppose we could call this "what ectasy really does to people".

[cjshapi]

Does his statement mean it's okay to hit somebody you do know?

This whole crew makes me ill.

[TomGuy]

Your heading is misleading....actually, wrong. It was the State or Prosecution that rested just before the noon break. The Defense is going on now.

Titilisee Fry? LOL Now who in their right mind would name there child that, think of the nickname!

[TomGuy]

This case could go to the jury by tomorrow.

I wonder whether the Defense will try to plead it out?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Thought we were told yesterday that they had plead guilty.

[TomGuy]

That was to the "evidence tampering" charge, but not to the murder charge.

[cjshapi]

You're right. Sorry. Am at work and shouldn't be posting at all but FR is just addicting.

I heard yesterday that Mallard actually pulled over to the side of the road after she hit the victim, then tried unsuccessfully to pull him out of her windshield. Is that true? And if it is true, how in Hades can she say that she was too drunk and/or drugged up to know what had happened?

[SerpentDove]

MeeknPING!

Mallard actually pulled over to the side of the road after she hit the victim, then tried unsuccessfully to pull him out of her windshield

That is what I heard and the prosecutor implied that this morning when questioning the medical examiner.

The victim was wedged. Mallard couldn't pull him out (hard to say how much effort she applied); drove home.

Heard a local radio (KLIF) newsreader yesterday observe that the jury was "mostly male - there are only six women jurors."

Wonder how he figured "mostly male" - by weight?

[mewzilla]

Poor man.

[TomGuy]

Wonder how he figured "mostly male" - by weight?

lol

I sure wouldn't be the one to say they were "mostly female by weight."

Yeh, it is 8m and 6f (I'm not sure whether the 2 alternates are mm or ff or mf).

[TomGuy]

Yes. Per the M. E. this morning, the victim bled to death from the nearly amputated leg. Had she driven for help, any fire/med/EMT/police and 80% of most citizens could have put a turnicate, and he probably would have survived.
