The appeal will be filed. The verdict will be overturned because she had an inadequate defense. A high profile attorney will take her case. She will be retried and convicted of a lesser crime.

In the first place it was NOT an accident.

Driving back from the grocery store, a few minutes ago, on a major highway, I saw a cloud of dust about 300 feet ahead of me. By the time I reached the location....at least 5 cars...some on the opposite side of the median.....had pulled over to help a young woman who had swerved off the road...ending in a field.

Some had risked crossing a very busy road to help her.

As I put my caution lights on, I noticed she was all right and that many people who had been ahead of me were assisting her.

That's the way it is supposed to be!!

Thank goodness many of my relatives are no longer with me for it would be extremely hard for them to understand how anyone could let someone DIE.

Chante is some kind of cold-hearted creature and we are all better off that she is going to be locked up for a good, long time. (Think of the damage she could do just by passing on her genes!)

Not to mention the damage she would do over the years to patients she would be working on in her career as lpn or nurse's aide (can't remember which now). I'd hate to see someone so heartless with helpless patients.

True justice would be slamming her fat **s through a windshield and leaving her, but since we don't have that option, she deserves to rot in jail for life.

Being drunk and stoned is no defense for murder which is what it became after she chose not to get help.

The news keeps calling him a "homeless" man. What? A homeless yuppie?

This woman's life is ruined because she was HIGH at the time. If she would have stopped and got aid and taken her lumps, she would probably be on probation right now. I feel sorry for her for being to stupid to make the right choices, but that's all water under the bridge now. She deserves a long sentence.

Clara Harris got 20 years for running over her husband 4 or 5 times.

Two things different there, Harris could afford a real defense attorney who skillfully manipulated the penalty phase, and the husband's behavior caused a lot of people to think he was asking for it, not the case with the homeless guy. Of course, being homeless, he is considered to be of less worth to a jury than an upstanding citizen, so you may be right...

Texas has and always will take a lot of heat and ridicule from the more "sophisticated" states. As a life-long Texan, the only way I can explain this is to equate these feelings to how Old Europe thinks about America. Texas will always be the elephant in the middle of the room.

One early morning my daughter called on her cell phone. She was on her way to work. Suddenly she gasped, said Mom there's a car rolled over I have to help. She hung up. While I waiting with my heart in my mouth she had put her flashers on, left her auto with the doors open, purse and laptop in plain view on the seat and assisted the young woman out of her overturned car. Many people stopped to help, the police arrived in no time.

The woman was fine, altho shaken, and my daughter's car was there in the road, doors open, and nothing taken by the any of the many people at the intersection helping.

***... leaving him out there to die was, but in my heart I can understand panic....***

I can understand panic, too. But there was a live human being in extreme agony, and that would have MADE me call for help for him. There's just no question in my mind that this female was more concerned about her own self-important interest than in the agony the victim was experiencing.

If she had not been found guilty, it would have been a signal to all hit and run drivers that they can get away with it.

Congratulations on raising a wonderful daughter, she's an asset to our society, most likely thanks to her parents.

This reminds me also of when my son hit a dog. He was about 20 yrs old. He stopped and put the dog in his truck,(it bled all over)and drove it and the owners to the vet. The dog died, and later the owners sent him a card telling him thank you for making a horrible situation more bearable.

He called me and was very upset that he hit the dog.

And this woman left a man in her windshield.

Imagine how the media would have played this if it was a black woman stuck in the windshield and a white man who did the killing - RACISM - RIOTS -

Yet here is a black woman who kils a white man - leaves him callously stuck in her windshield in a garage then gets black friends to help her dump his white body - and we hear nothing of a hate crime or nothing of a racist thing to do. If it was a black man in the windshield would she have left him there? Ah - dare not ask that question dare we?

I was advised I am likely in error regarding FIRST degree murder:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/936087/posts?page=12#12

But I'm told that:
"She is facing life in prison, plus 10 years for tampering with evidence"

That was comment 14 on that thread.
