Paging Alan Dershowitz, paging Alan Dershowitz!
I am giving them more credit then they probably deserve, but I think they knew what they were doing and took there chances that a dead homeless guy would go un-noticed and when found just thought he would be scooped up and forgotten.
Yes finding a dead homeless guy is not too uncommon in that area. There are several large homeless shelters not far north of there. What would raise a flag, even to our ME, would be the mechanism of injury. No matter how long the perps tried to clean this guy up, there would still be glass all in him.
When someone goes through a windshield you need to be very careful in extracating them because every time they move the glass will cut them more. First thing you need to do is break the rest of the glass away. I can just imagine this poor man maybe even tried to free himself only to have the glass cut him deeper and deeper.
I don't think Spielburg even thought of this for one of his horror movies.
Dude, this is Texas.
The very best she could hope for is to plea bargain it to manslaughter, but that would require the Tarrant County DA to be a braindead coward.
This story has been seen around the world, and there's more outrage against it than against Andrea Yates.
She doesn't stand a chance of walking.
I pray to God she doesn't.
I can tell you this. When I went to rookie school at the Fort Worth Fire Department. We rode out of station 5 which covers an area just north and east of where she lived. We were instructed prior to riding out that we would be in a world we were not familiar with. The instructors said you will hear gunshots. Watch yourself but do not be concerned with it unless everyone else takes off running. They live in the hood and are aware with what is going on. Around 0300 one morning, we were working a DWI accident. I heard a full mag go through a AK47 (rock and roll) and none of the 50 or so spectators even batted an eye.

Why aren't they indicting the car?
Also, remember the Wichita Horror-Nebraska Freepers keep us updated.
What are the Texas Criminal Code requirements to be able to apply the death penalty in this case versus life? I know it requires a 2nd crime and those are very specific and spelled out in the code. Do you think there is a chance for the Death Penalty?
How far before she becomes someone's hood trophy? She's dead meat if she cant get a new identity.
"There are two victims here," said her defense attorney. "I believe Ms. Mallard has suffered enough." NOW has already established a defense fund for Ms. Mallard, claiming that the defendant was simply acting out justifiable black road rage.
It's worse than that. She tried driving through a car was....with the guy still lodged in the windshield.
I can't imagine his agony, it makes me sick to my stomach. She's a CALLOUS MONSTER. Payback's a b*tch. If she don't get it here (which I feel she will), she's got Someone more important and eternal to deal with when she's dead. I hope her punishment is eternal agony, the exact kind of torture she dished out.
