Windshield Verdict

[Young Werther]

Chante is Guilty of Murder, Guilty of Tampering with Evidence

[MizSterious]

My guess? She sobered right up when she hit the poor fellow, and all the rest was CYA. I'm not seeing any remorse here, just that self-pity we're noticing.

[TomGuy]

Mallard did say "Mr. Biggs" a few times. I don't recall the attorney calling him by name.

[Howlin]

I imagine she's just getting cranked up.

I agree with you.

[NautiNurse]

She actually said, "I hit Mr. Biggs." Then she launched into her self-pity mode, as accurately described already.

[Howlin]

Does this sound to you like she's going for the "I didn't know what to do and the advice I got was bad" defense?

[Robert A Cook PE]

What facts were in dispute?

If the facts can be determined in two minutes, why take three months?

[MizSterious]

Wonder if Fox will continue to carry it past the hour? Court TV is about to go to the far more important (!) "Profiler" reruns.

[Howlin]

For the life of me, I cannot understand why this girl did not BEG for a deal, can you?

[Mark17]

sorry . . . how could I have made that mistake?

LOL, you obviously lost your head for a moment. No, this is still a PC world, and it will not happen.

Regards.

[kjam22]

There's no doubt she's not the brightest bulb.

Thanks, but hard to fix dinner and keep an eye on the computer. Teevee works much better that way. ;)

[Howlin]

It's still on Court TV.

[TomGuy]

also being shown on MSNBC....fyi

[MizSterious]

Yes, it IS! Good deal--usually they go to the reruns, as just about everyone noticed during the Westerfield trial.

[Howlin]

Oh, I get it now; she plead guilty to the tampering charge so the jury wouldn't get to hear all about how SHE participated in the REMOVAL and DISPOSAL of Mr. Biggs' body.

[MizSterious]

Someone on Court TV said the poor man was still alive when they threw a blanket over him and dumped him at the park--is there any verification for that? (Court TV doesn't always get it right.)

[hellinahandcart]

I believe she just blamed it all on the ecstasy, and said for the hundredth time, "I didn't know what to do".

[NautiNurse]

I am wondering whether the prosecuter didn't offer a deal. After all, it was a slam dunk case.
