The only consolation I see: This happened in the great state of Texas where they regularly put to death persons convicted of murder. So hopefully Chante Mallard won't spend the rest of her days in prison on our dime. Death penalty for her and a very long time in prison for her 'helpers'.

"I think this is overreaching on the part of the prosecution and the police, and in the end, I believe the law will shake out that this was simply a case of failure to stop and render aid," [attorney for Chante Mallard] Mike Heiskell said ...

... after putting down his joint. LOL

Can't fault him though ... he is just doing his job, since every defendent is entitled to a competent defense.

The good news (whatever can come of this) indeed is that this event happened in Texas, where they don't play around with scum like Mallard.
