but she concealed the body in the garage ... so that's why she's charged with murder," Fort Worth Police Lt. David Burgess said.

Since when is concealing a body murder? I hope this Dick Tracey can put more together than that. The murder charge will arise most likely out of the fact he was alive when she had returned home, and she let him die. In other words murder by inaction as opposed to action...Just running someone over is not murder, its premeditation and/or intent and the dying part that makes it murder...the fact she let him die makes it premeditated instead of what would be normally manslaughter.

My two cents

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I don't know about Texas but in NY there is a class of murder known as "acting with depraved indifference to human life" that might cover her actions here: hitting the guy (allegedly while being intoxicated on alcohol and/or ecstasy); failing to stop; leaving the scene of an accident;effectively imprisoning him in her home while he died AND failing to seek medical attention.

In fact, the mere act of imprisoning him in her home and not allowing him to leave and receive medical attention might qualify as kidnapping, which is a felony. In most states anytime a person dies during the commission of a felony, it is "felony murder," and whether or not she intended to kill him is irrelevant.

"In other words murder by inaction as opposed to action"

Huh?

What "inaction" are you talking about?

She rammed him through her windshield and kept him there until he was dead.

That's about as "inactive" as "hanged until dead" at a gallows.
