I heard on the radio that the defense attorney claims that the defendent was a young woman who’d never been in this kind of situation before.
Well, hell, how many of us have driven home with a man sticking out our windshield? I think there are things people know how to handle on instinct. The fact is, she was drunk, high, and horny and didn’t want to get caught.
God, if You have a minute to spare, I’d like to resign from the human race now. Please allow me to become a nobler species, like pond scum.
I wish they would fry this ignorant bitch.
I live in the area, and when this horrible event occured, I heard about the “sex with boyfriend” part of the story – the odd thing is, I haven’t heard it reported since. I guess we’ll find out - heard some testimony a couple of hours ago on the radio from a forensic expert - evidence that some of the blood in her car was coughed up. Auggghhh!
I’m betting she’ll receive a life sentence.
This is why I couldn’t be a defense attorney. I may try, but I’d probably just stand up in the middle of court and say “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Your Honor, please give this bitch the chair.”
According to what she told her friends at the party she parked her car in the garage and went inside the house and had sex with her boyfriend. After that, she and her boyfriend went out to the garage and the man wasn’t dead yet so they turned around and went back inside.
It’s all on The Smoking Gun website. Check it out.
Had she called an ambulance the man more than likely would’ve lived. She may have been arrested for DUI (and possible for the drugs) but she would’ve gotten off with probation and possibly a suspended license. Helluva lot better than being on trial for murder IMO.
Think about how I feel - I live in the same town as this creature.
. . . Then will you please look up Titilisee Fry, and ask what her parents were thinking?
On the Today show this morning I think I recall hearing the moron wasn’t having sex with her boyfriend while the poor guy was duying in her garage.
As to the OP, this woman makes me want to fly to Texas just so I can backhand her a couple of times. This is a big deal for me as I plan to die without ever visiting Texas.
The most polite thing I can say is that I honestly believe that I might have trouble trying to be an Impartial Juror.
No, come on, it’s a beautiful state - yes, we have tons of horrible murders here, but it’s a BIG state, as in, big population. Texas judges tend to fry our felons at a rapid pace (of course I understand that’s nothing to be proud of, it’s simply a fact). This woman won’t get the death penalty IMO, though - hell, the women who drowned her 5 children didn’t receive that punishment. Interesting.
But, do come to Texas.
It’s a dry heat! 
She won’t get the death penalty. She’s charged with 1st dgree murder, not capital murder. 1st degree murder has a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Andrea Yates was charged with capital murder; the punishment is either death or life in prison. She may not have been legally insane, but she was undeniably looney toons. Even in Texas juries are squeamish about executing that particular brand of nuts.
Darling, I could spend a lifetime asking parents around here this question!
The mind boggles. There comes a point when “I was high and confused and upset and blahblahblahblahblah…” just don’t cut it anymore.
Ms. Mallard may’ve been all of those things, but jeezum; a man died while trapped in her windshield, in her closed garage, because she didn’t have the testicular fortitude to take her lumps! I can’t fathom how she wouldn’t have realized (even through a drug-addled haze) that the man might (“might” being charitable, I think) die without medical assistance. Yet, she failed to make any assistance available to him. Seems like murder to me, though IANAL.
It’s about 2 or 4 miles that he was in the windshield, depending on which intersection (287 and 820) they were talking about. They dumped the body in Cobb Park about 2 or 3 miles northwest off of 287.
The Smoking Gun website showing the report tells quite a bit. It was all about saving her ass from jail and now she’s dragged quite a few others into her idiocy. She’ll have quite a bit of time to think about how she should have correctly handled the accident.
I applaud Maranda in doing the right thing…
People who drink and drive and kill someone get tried for manslaughter all the time. This woman deserves at least that much.
I seemed to have missed #28 on the Police Report:
She was approaching Village Park exit when she hit him, therefore she was about approximately 1.5 miles from her house.
Shall we begin to take bets as to when she will sue the nightclub?
After all, it wasn’t her fault that they let her leave the club wasted.
:rolleyes:
Thanks for the ride, lady.
BWAH!!! Beautiful.
