Excerpt:
FORT WORTH - A woman accused of hitting a man with her car and leaving him to die, entangled in her windshield, returned to jail Friday when a judge raised her bail from $10,000 to $250,000.
Chante J. Mallard, 25, was booked into the Tarrant County Jail on Friday afternoon on a murder charge the third time she has been incarcerated in 10 days in connection with the October death of Gregory G. Biggs, 37.
Even if the bail is met, Ms. Mallard will spend the weekend in jail. Probation officers in charge of monitoring bond conditions cannot pick her up until Monday morning, said Lt. Mack West, jail supervisor.
Her bond conditions, which 371st District Judge James Wilson set during a hearing, include being under house arrest at her parents' Fort Worth home, wearing an electronic monitor, no driving, no alcohol use, and drug testing three times a week.
People wonder why lawyers get a bad rap???.
She should be charged with a hate crime, not because he is white, but because he is homeless
If the roles were reversed, certainly every race pimp in the country would descend on Ft Worth like locust in biblical times.
I used to live in Cowtown, (FT. Worth) it is not very PC and Texans in general don't put up with a lot of BS from outsiders
WHAT? The good judge did not add "no sex with her boyfriend[s]", to the bond conditions? I'm outraged!!!
I think this no good bi-itch should have her bail bond set at $1,000,000 minimun!
"Please, let me pull the switch, please?"
Maybe this is a common occurance in "her neighborhood"?
I could understand, at least a little, if the victim was dead and she tried to cover it up, not that it's right, but I could see it happen.
Most people would call someone to help a cat or dog hit by a car.
This women is going to spend a long time in jail or there truly is a deep and serious problem with our country.
She's in deep trouble.
That hopefully is an understatement.
It will be interesting to see what liberal pop icon pops out of the woodwork to defend the defenseless, once again.
The incident happened at 3 a.m. back in late October last year.
This is really not about race. It's about inhumanity to a fellow human being, I think.
Here, this should get you up to speed on this story. . .
Woman accused of hitting man, leaving him to die on windshield

Seems like such an act would make her quite a bit more safe than pointing fingers at the police. Perhaps also in cases such as this, if she attempts to seek monetary damages from the police, limit the revenues to the police dept from the same community from which she came. Let the account balance itself out. Local populous is accountable for financially responding to the local crime. Don't let a small police department or city government become the 'deep pocket' for a gang to get rich based upon contrived arguments.
If her clique of friends wants to encourage her to conceal the crime, or to redefine the act as manslaughter, judge her not guilty and conceal the act from all others, then force that group of people to bear the consequences of their actions.
Now here lies a fundamental cultural issue between many blacks and whites, and to a large extent between criminals and law abiding citizenry of the US. It involves being presumed innocent until being proved guilty.
The next question "Who is involved in the conspiracy?" might get answered from the top down by labeling a larger group as being accused. Those who are innocent will display significantly different behavior than the guilty to those who righteously discern. However, this tactic also places a smaller group of innocent people on the defensive and presumes guilt.
The alternative, to prove the guilt of all involved results in the type of culture we are witnessing. Smaller gangs believe they are able to render righteous action in their eyes, do not believe they need be held accountable to any higher social authority, and conspire to conceal their actions obviously criminal to higher authority or to outside groups, and then consider any exposure of their behavior as a breach of confidence, faith, and goodwill for their involvement.
Someone that will pick up the lawyers contention that the perpetrator of this crime is actually the victim?
You are probably right. Where is Jesse JackA**, anyway?. . .
Well stated and absolutely correct. The newsreaders on BET would be frothing so much they would need a canoe in the studio.
Or Johnie Cochran, "If the hood ornament don't fit, you must....",
you know the rest.
