"Chante J. Mallard, 25, was booked into the Tarrant County Jail on Friday afternoon on a murder charge – the third time she has been incarcerated in 10 days in connection with the October death of Gregory G. Biggs, 37."
What's up with this Meek? Have the Fort Worth D.A. and police gotten a case of the "Buckwheats"(thank you captain Dan)? This whole episode(at least from what I've read) makes little sense. It's almost as if the local LE community are falling all over themselves trying to give this, uh, THING a pass. Developing???????

I would imagine that would be the only way something like that could happen in Fort Worth..
P.S. I was not intoxicated when I was out at that time of the morning. My husband and I were on our way to the hospital.(Just in case anyone was wondering.)
It's OK. I think you're going to be alright. Just keep repeating this mantra.
OWAH......TAJURE......KIYAM
Start slowly and then increase the speed
Glad you cleared that up Muggs.. ;-)
I'm not some apologist for bad behavior by blacks, but her "white guy" remark could well be just how you refer to white guys there.What you are saying could be true, except the informant said she giggled when she said she had hit a white guy.
Good posts bro-- Dallas was cold the other day but I'm headin' for the border! It's good to be back in God's Country. I'll catch up with ya in a couple days...
FReegards,

Everything about this story is bizarre it seems. I got back last night about 7:30. If I wasn't out at my Dad's I would have suggested we meet somewhere, but the timing was bad this time. Let me know when you're gonna be back in the Dallas area and maybe we can have lunch or something if ya want to.
I think you meant to say "to defend the infedensible".
This story just broke last Thursday. What happened is they first charged her with hit & run, no bail required. Then, as the investigation revealed her heightened involvement, the charges were raised to murder with bail at $10,000. When the bail was raised to $250,000 she spent the past weekend in the Ft. Worth pokey, but was expected to post bail Monday.
My understanding from another FReeper that knows her brother (who is a fireman - in Fort Worth, I think), her Dad owns a number of rent houses. I think the house she lives in belongs to her Dad. I'm sure Daddy is posting the bail money. The last I saw she was expected to get out yesterday, but I didn't see an update on the story today yet. . .
When I find one, I'll post it here on FR. . .
I guess I'm really behind the power curve here. Do you have any ideas why bail for a murder charge would increase from 10 G's to 250 G's????? It almost looks like Tarant County is setting up a losing case, and I wonder why?
Anyway, if you're keeping abreast, would you mind *pinging* me with any updates? Thanks.

Texas Coroner Says Man Died Quickly
By Associated Press
March 12, 2002, 9:25 PM ESTFORT WORTH, Texas -- The county medical examiner said Tuesday that a homeless man who was struck by a car and lodged in the broken windshield likely only lived for a few hours with a nearly amputated leg -- not a few days as police have estimated.
Police had said Gregory Glenn Biggs, 37, probably died two or three days after his head was trapped in the windshield during the hit-and-run accident.
But Tarrant County's coroner, Dr. Nizam Peerwani, said Biggs likely would have died within hours, or possibly a day, from blood loss. Peerwani said he will review police and crime lab reports to determine a more exact time of death.
"Based on preservation of the body, I would suggest it is not anymore than a day or so," Peerwani said. "He couldn't have died instantaneously."
Chante J. Mallard, a 25-year-old nurses aide, told police she hit a man along a Fort Worth highway on Oct. 26, then ignored his cries for help as she drove home with him stuck to her car, according to an affidavit.
Authorities say Mallard left Biggs to die in her garage and her friends later dumped his body in a park. Two men found Biggs' body Oct. 27.
Police spokesman Duane Paul said another woman tipped officers that she was at a party in mid-February and overheard Mallard discussing the accident and how it had taken Biggs days to die.
"We're trying to sort through everything and determine exactly what the time frame was," Paul said Tuesday.
Authorities initially said Biggs would have lived if he had received medical attention. He had no internal injuries.
Mallard is charged with murder and being held on $250,000 bail. Her attorney, Mike Heiskell, did not return telephone messages seeking comment Tuesday.

Well, it's been a little while, but Dave & Busters is kinda neat. My best buddy and I go there when he's in town from Illinois. Ever been there or heard of it? It's a HUGE hangout with about 50,000 sq. ft. of playgrounds for all folks! Acres of video game, including race cars, skiiing stuff, 2-3 restaurants and many bars there!
LOL! I've been caught in a few compromising situations myself. . .But that has never stopped me! :O)
I am pretty open to that. Guess we can carry our guns and go over to Harry Hines Blvd. That'll give ya a thrill, I'm sure!
