Chante Mallard, if you recall, was the Texas woman convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison for the death of Gregory Biggs in October, 2001.
Mallard, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, struck Biggs which sent him flying through her windshield
She then drove home; leaving the injured Biggs stuck in her windshield, and parked her car in her garage.
Biggs body was found the following morning.
This isn’t a Texas problem exclusively, however,
In 2005 a 93-year-old driver in Florida struck a 52-year-old pedestrian and drove for three miles with the man’s body through his windshield before he was noticed by a toll taker.
And in early 2008 a Wisconsin man was sentenced to 15 years in prison after hitting two pedestrians while driving and making it home with one them lodged in his windshield. His body was found the next morning.
