Let's put it this way -- she is a nurse's aid, in the medical community and a former girl scout, thus knowledgeable about what broken glass does to a body and how long a person can live with blood pouring out of him. Not only did she not render aid as she has been trained to do, but she premeditatively prevented anyone else from rendering aid to her victim.

Failure to help is one thing -- keeping others from helping is something else all together. Tying a person up in one's garage is one thing, but it becomes murder when you leave him there without providing what he needs to sustain life,

Hitting him with her car was one thing, but keeping him locked up in her garage knowing that doing so would cause his death, comes pretty close to first degree murder.

I am not suggesting in any form that she is not the vilest piece of humanity I seen in a long time or she should be excused at all

I'm just suggesting it was not race that motivated her.

Another good point. Was she waiting for him to feel better, free himself from the windshield, and let him walk away? No, she knew he would slowly die. I've changed my mind, it was premeditated and she does indeed deserve the death penalty.

It makes it premeditated murder. She should and could (but probably won't) receive the death sentence for this torture murder. There is no evidence she even offered him a aspirin or a glass of water,and it took him 2 or 3 days to die. This makes it torture.
