Bizarre details of man's death revealed

Fort Worth Star-Telegram ^ | 3/7/02 | Deanna Boyd

My jaw is just hanging open; I can't get it to close.

What kind of hellish society are we living in that such people are walking among us?

Bump! Ugh.....

[jboot]

Sickos must die bump

[Whilom]

As Brit Hume says when astonishment has reached beyond human comprehension: "We're not making this up."

[MeekOneGOP]

Sorry to upset you. This story just broke this morning. This is the most horrible and bizarre thing I think I've ever heard of. It is the pits, and this woman deserves the DP for this. I think her friends should be charged with some sort of collusion as well. . .

[samtheman]

Isn't al a homeless person with a beard now???

Homeless, or living in a cave? It's hard to keep track of those bearded fanatics!

[SpookBrat]

I have no idea what color anyone is in this story, but if he was walking on 287 he was probably black. Could be white. I don't know. 287 will take you to Ft. Worth, and it drives through the south part of town, which is mostly a black area. (I could be wrong, but that's my guess).

My heart aches for his family. I just couldn't imagine.

I won't take 287 if my life depended on it. I took it one day and there was a man strolling/walking down the high way with a shot gun in his hand in broad day light. It was bizarre!

[SpookBrat]

OH that's ok. Thanks for letting me know. Mark Davis is almost on. I'll have to go listen and see what he has to say. This is just so shocking.

Brownie did you see this? See what I mean? I think my mother has people like this for neighbors. I'm so upset.

[hellinahandcart]

By driving him to her home, she kidnapped him. The accident didn't kill him, the fact that she kidnapped him is what killed him.

I agree with you, at least I HOPE you're correct and this is the law in Texas. Because if a kidnap victim dies, that's capital murder, and Chante Mallard will get a needle.

I think you may be on to something here. The Adrienne Jones murder in Texas was prosecuted successfully as a murder/kidnapping even though she had gotten into the car willingly.

[inflorida]

"Mallard had recently told a friend "bits and pieces" about an accident when questioned at a party about why she was no longer driving her car, Fahrenthold said."

[Texas Mom]

I think I'm going to be sick. Her friends should have gone to jail with her and take the lawyer too.

[SpookBrat]

Oh yeah, one more thing...

I'm a deeply tender hearted, compassionate person. :) With that said, I can't wait till that b**** Darlie dies. I'll be jumping up and down. I'm always sad when people get the death penalty, even though I am 100% for it. But I WONT be sad when Darlie dies and I hope it's soon.

[Johnny Gage]

By Mallard's account, as told to police, she had been drinking and using Ecstasy

This says it all.

sick.... no evil. Sick implies a "mental illness". Plain & simple, pure evil.

There is so much in this story to worry about - the care she provides her patients, the drugs she gives her patients (she probably steals them), the utter selfishness and cruelty in her personality.

More and more often we see totally inhuman acts by humans. I feel part of this is a result of the "drugs" they take which must damage their brains and kill off that which makes us human.

And, our justice system will allow this, will allow her to go free to breed more just like her.

[Mercat]

I just shared this with my law partners. They immediately started casting the movie. Also thought it would make a great law school exam question. Yes, we are a sick and perverted profession.

[Kaslin]

The story doesn't tell me the race of the parties involved.

The race is totally irrelevant in this case as far as I'm concerned

[Puddleglum]

I can't even express my shock at reading this story. It seems every day we're confronted with more evidence that the value of human life has been drastically eroded. I sometimes worry that what we're seeing is not the exception but the rule, that something dark and sick has grown pervasive in our society and breaks through whenever our illusion of a life of comfort and without personal responsibility stretches too thin and cracks.

I then wonder if I'm just a worry wart, but seeing the way many people interact with one another in all sorts of conditions of anonymity (driving for one) makes me think otherwise. I try to be compassionate, but compassion and sympathy only feed the disease here. This sort of inhumanity thrives on ingesting our highest virtues and spitting them back as death.

[MeekOneGOP]

Didn't anyone notice something weird when she drove to work with him in the windshield?

This is a horrible thing she did, but i must admit that's kinda funny. . .

[Kaslin]

Didn't anyone notice something weird when she drove to work with him in the windshield?

She didn't drive to work with him, she drove to her home and perhaps the road was deserted and no one had seen her

[AppyPappy]

Women!

Woman: Chante, girl. What's that in your windshield?
Chante: Oh I don't know. I don't know a thing about cars.

Evidently this woman(if I dare call her that) values life no more than a Muslim terrorist. Truly our society has failed to pass on a morality that is not purely based on selfishness. There is a strong undertoe in our culture that is sucking young people down the proverbial drain.
