Gawain 0 #1 June 25, 2003 For those that aren't following all the news. This lady, while driving home, drunk, stoned and high on Ecstasy ran down a homeless man who was stuck, head/shoulders first in her windshield. He was still alive. She got home and left the guy (Greg Biggs) in her windshield in her garage. He later died of blood loss. Now there were issues about how she reacted, etc. Her trial is about whether she's guilty of murder, versus manslaughter I guess. Here's one report.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

jtval 0 #2 June 25, 2003 havent been stalking the story but Im vaguley familiar with it shes a murderer IMO it could been accidental manslaughter if she would have stopped and done the right thing (in fact he may have survived with no major loss' if she did) but she drove home opened the garage, pulled the car in , closed the garage and went inside while HE WASS STILL ALIVE) she left the scene and left him to die! thats murder. as I said I've loosely followed the story... If my info is wrong ...FIll me in!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 June 25, 2003 Guilty as hell! I know she'll try the temp insanity due to the drugs and stuff, but I say she get hung.

MyOwnWay 0 #5 June 25, 2003 i have been following the case as well. didn't the fireman who found the body say it appeared as though she beat him?? that's just sick, disgusting, and wrong. she's on satan's "soon to come" list._________________________________________ all good things are wild and free - Henry David Thoreau Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropdeded 0 #6 June 25, 2003 From what is actually known now,Guilty as all hell ! Is it true that she left him there for 'days" occasionally going into the garage to apologize to the poor dude?

Well, there was no windshield involved, see?

PhillyKev 0 #10 June 25, 2003 Quotewere they innocent people? Considering I can't find any news on the incidents, I'm going to assume they weren't. They don't like reporting on shootings in the city when it involves other than white, affluent, bystanders. It scares the tourists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,589 #12 June 25, 2003 If ever I heard of a situation that deserves the description of "depraved indifference" this is it. She should be sentenced to prison, broken only by frequent requirements to talk to groups about what a complete dipshit she is, and how yes, in fact, it is her fault. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

dkpbxman 0 #13 June 25, 2003 I remember when this happened. She would occasionally go into her garage, where her car was parked with the victim still sticking out of the windshield, and apologize. All the while ignoring his plea's to get him help. Couldn't be more guilty!----Murder! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's like saying "it's okay to break a law, as long as you've done some good drugs first."

My initial gut feeling is guilty as hell, lock her up and throw away the key. But I've served on a few juries and been a foreman once and I know that what the jury will hear and the crap that goes out on the wire are two different things.
