Texas woman guilty in "windshield" muder case

[Carlos]

Like everyone else I have a good idea on how she should die, just need a car and a garage. The needle will be to fast.

Agreed. Then, instead of turning the lights off and leaving, just surround the car with beer drinking buddies and laugh at her til she dies.

I'm still having a hard time believing people could be this cold.

We've had two hit and run accidents, resulting in death, in Portland in the last two weeks. Latest guy plowed into group of bicyclists on a dedicated bike lane and killed two, then attempted to leave the scene, dragging the bikes.

Not sure if the other selfish b#$**** has been caught yet.

Saw a picture of the POS in the newspaper today. She was dressed in a pink w/black trim "twin set" (cardigan sweater w/ a sleeveless blouse underneath, think Grace Kelly) with a pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings. Her hair was cut in a bob. Remember, this was the woman who was high on crack, pot, and drunk when she struck the man. F*cking lawyers will do ANYTHING to influence a jury.

My comment to a co-worker today when I heard she was found guilty: I hope she gets stuck halfway in the jail cell bars when they slam the door on her.

Sorry for the bad language.

The only way this woman could have ignored her victim is by de-humanizing him. No sympathy, no horror, no typical and expected human emotions or reactions.

She said she hit a white man then proceeded to show him to guests. I heard earlier she went out several times to talk to him.

Sounds like premeditation to me after the initial accident.

I got 2 problems:
1>Tejas taxpayers have to support a killer for life. Doesn't sound fair to me.
2>The gene pool is at great risk.

Imagine the rage of community leaders if the races were reverse. Racism would be assumed.

would have to agree with the others, If the colors were reversed "hate crime" charges would have been present so why aren't they now

Minorities can't be racist.:banghead:

Question to axe of you Texicanos: Why no death penalty? Was this a Tejas equiv depraved heart or reckless homicide case

The specific charge she was charged with does not have the death penalty attached to it. (I did a search but came up short)

They are doing sentencing on her right now. Defense's main point seems to be: Don't put her away; she was stoned!"

There is the absolutely hilarious story of the guy who always wanted to fly. So, he got himself about 50 surplus weather balloons and filled they with helium. He had a lawn chair tethered to the balloons. He had some beer and an air pistol, the purpose of the pistol to explode the ballons when he was finished "flying" in his lawn chair. He had the contraption tied down to his jeep.

This guy didn't get a Darwin Award, just an honorable mention. Lawn Chair Larry also got a FAA fine, a prize from the Dallas Bonehead Club and the unofficial altitude record for gas-filled cluster balloons . here is another take on the story.

Cheers,

I'm not a native, but I have lived here almost 8 years now and I have to say that I am proud of our juries' recent behavior in high profile cases. In the past year we have had three criminal cases that have received national attention:

1. That Yates women who drowned her children - claimed insanity, but jury claimed BS and convicted her.
2. That woman who ran over here cheating husband, claimed it was an accident, the jury said BS and gave her 20 years.
3. This winshield case......

Somehow, I think that if these trials happened in California, everyone single one of them would have walked.

About damned time somebody got what they deserved and their whiney-assed excuse didn't hold up.
