FORT WORTH, Texas -- A Tarrant County jury has found Chante Mallard guilty of murder for hitting a homeless man on a highway and driving home and parking in her garage with his mangled body still lodged in the windshield.
The jury also found Mallard guilty of tampering with evidence. Mallard faces up to 10 years for that charge, to which she pleaded guilty to earlier this week.
Jurors deliberated less than 50 minutes in the case. Mallard, 27, faces life in prison for the murder conviction.
The sentencing phase was to start at 2 p.m. Thursday.
http://www.nbc5i.com/news/2295068/detail.htmlTexas 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.
