The question is, what is the best fitting punishment? Do you believe she can be redeemed, learn and be a better person, and become a beneficial person in society? Or no way she should rot in jail forever because a man is dead forever? Or something in between?

Dang I probably should have made this a poll LOL.

I have, and i can honestly tell you that there is XTC and XTC, if you know what i mean. The real deal just stimulates certain....erm...feelings, but most of the stuff out there is mixed with crap. There's XTC that makes you do things, and you won't remember a single thing the next day, now that's scary stuff.

However, noone forced her to take XTC. The drug itself can make her do things she doesn't know she's doing it, but she should have thought about that before taking it. Therefore: guilty as charged.

Three days, half a tab of E. Dosen't quite add up. Most folks I know who take that crap are fairly normal by the next day. Well, as close to normal as those guys ever get, anyway. But if this woman is suggesting that her judgement was impaired to the point where a man bleeding to death didnt instantly suggest calling 911, she's lying through her teeth. More likely she was thinking of the trouble that calling 911 would cause her personaly, and made the decision to let the guy die and dispose of the body, so she could live happily ever after.

Let her rot in jail for the remainder of her natural life.

It's quite possible that she really didn't know what she did at that particular moment. Like i said, there's some dangerous stuff outthere, even pills that contain animal tranquilizers, strong enough to put an elephant to sleep. You're lucky if that shit doesn't kill you, but if it doesn't, chances are that you'll be running around, not knowing what goes on around you.

She should be convicted, don't get me wrong, but murder goes a bit too far. If she really had "corrupted" XTC, then it's like "the lights are on, but nobody's home", if you know what i mean.

The story of his taking three days to die are bogus. The coroner said it took him several hours to die. And the emergency room doctors called on as expert witnesses all agreed that if he had been brought in he would have lived. What the bitch did was murder pure and simple. I think she should be taken to one of those crash test sights and stood on the tracks and rammed by a car and left to die like an animal. Which is what she did to this man.

IIRC Unfortunitly the state of Texas can only give her life for this crime, She's not eligable for the death penalty. I can buy life for hitting him, but when you leave him there then check on him in the morning and he's still alive and you do nothing because you don't want to pay the price for your actions. Sorry but my vote would be to have her ride the electric chair.

Well, it made sense to me that she did it because she didn't want to get busted on a drug charge. That was the only reason I could figure that she would have left a living, breathing person like that to die in her windshield. She was probably trying to cover her ass. Also, I think I heard that the man was homeless. If that were true, she probably figred that she could dump the body and no one would come looking for him. It was a totally sick and inhumane thing to do. Life in prison seems fair to me. It was not premeditated.

Anyone tell me how they cuaght on to her?

BTW, I am for legalizing drugs. If you are going to have alcohol legal, I think drugs should be. BUT, you should nail their asses to the cross if anything illegal happens while they are under the influence. Just my opinion. Drunk drivers in the US are too often slapped on the wrist if there is a fatality while they are drunk and driving.
