FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A woman accused of hitting a homeless man with her car, driving home with him lodged in her broken windshield and ignoring his pleas as he bled to death in her garage, is not the monster being portrayed by prosecutors, her attorney says.

I wonder what kind of sex it was?

I heard clips of her "defense" attorney, it sounds like she needs a new one.
He claims that the guy wasn't in the car for 2-3 days, it was only 24 hours. And he wasn't asking for help, he was only moaning!
Well, that's different. Let's give her a ticket and move on.

Her lawyer was on the news this morning, contesting the charges and the story.
He claims the man was left for 'only a little over 24 hours' and that there was no evidence the woman ever talked to her victim. He also stated that she took bad advice from her friends who came over to help then took control of the situation leaving her out of control when they dumped the body.
In other words, her lawyer is admitting to basically everyting in the story and only quibbling about the details.
The woman is toast. And her crime is so horriffic that her lawyer is not even able to claim she is being discriminated against for her race.

The issue of race has very muted -- I didn't know about it until now. How quick do you suppose the facts would have emerged had the roles been reversed (white man impales black woman)?

You never would have guessed what?

"...had sex with her boyfriend..."
I'm with Nick Danger on this. The boyfriend will be cast as the villain; Chante as the VICTIM!
Gag me.

Well, the one silver lining in this story is that at least it happened in Texas, so there is a good chance this murderer will actually get the capital punishment she deserves.
This is one Mallard that definitely needs to be marinated, then roasted.

Hate crime. If he hadn't been white he'd still be alive.
To: Peggy
Katie has covered it and Yates has had her share. Your right, time to set up in Fort Worth.

Reverse hate crime.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Just imagine the outrage if a white suburban woman had done this to a black homeless man. Automatic hate crime. But when a black is the perp, race is never mentioned.

Hey munghead, are you calling our media biased?

Looks like a Black Muslim to me. Send her sorry ass down to Gitmo with the rest of the scum. From the looks of her I doubt that she'll skip breakfast.
