Truly Unbelieveable Cruelty!

<< even worse is that lawyer calling this a case of hit and run. OMFG. I hate lawyers like that. >>


Yep...but he's not fooling anyone

The hit-and-run (although I've never heard running WITH the victim) is one thing, but everything after that sounds like the Stephen King tale "Misery." :Q WTF!

This is a monstrous case, but I'm not sure whether it will be chargeable as murder, other than the watered-down charge of vehicular homicide. You will not see many cases in which inaction by the defendant is charged as deliberate murder (though this case creates a strong argument for the proposition). Hopefully the DA's office will have the balls to charge this as first-degree murder, because it was certainly a particularly horrible offense, even if his death was ultimately a function of her failure to help rather than any overt act.

<< Mallard agreed to go to the police station for questioning. There, she gave a statement and was arrested for failure to stop and render aid.


She was free on bail when officers arrived at her home Wednesday morning and arrested her on the
upgraded warrant charging her with murder. Later in the day, she was released on a $10,000 writ bond. >>




You know, it really sickens me when the courts give a 50,000 dollar bond for DUI but allows this stain to get out for 10,000!!!! :|

Oh, make that only 1,000 if she goes through a bondsman!!!!!

This bitch [and this judge for that matter] both deserve their own serial killer trading cards right beneath Charles Manson!!!!

how can you call locking him in her garage when he OBVIOUSLY needed medical assistance not an OVERT ACT?

Don Vito:

Actually, I'd say it was her deliberate and direct action of hiding him while he was wounded. The act of driving him into her garage and keeping him there, out of sight, was not inaction, but action.

This is simple to solve. Tie the woman to a tree. Hand someone a machete, then proceed to hack her alive to pieces, aka Apocalypse Now.

FVCKING IDIOT, THIS WOMAN SHOULD BE BURNED AT THE STAKE!!!! :| :| :| :| :|

I meant an overt act leading to his death. Ordinarily to convict someone of first-degree murder you have to show that the person committed an act leading to the death of another, and that it was done deliberately and with premeditation. In this instance, the accident was clearly, well, an accident, so the DA will have to argue that her hiding him was the force that led to his death. This will be for a jury to decide - the fact that he lived as long as he did lends credence to the idea that her obscuring him was itself causative.

I think I made it clear that I find the case shocking and that I would like to see her convicted of first-degree murder; I just think there are some interesting legal issues raised by charging it that way.
