Chante Jawan Mallard is an African-American female from Texas, who was convicted and sentenced to 50 years' imprisonment for her role in the death of a homeless male, Gregory Biggs. Biggs died after Mallard's car struck him; Mallard was driving while intoxicated by alcohol. The force of the impact sent Biggs flying through the windshield. Mallard placed Biggs in her car, left her car in her garage, and did not notify the police. After Biggs died (still in her car in her garage), she took his body to a park and left it there. The incident occurred on October 26, 2001; Mallard was convicted in June of 2003. Mallard became a suspect after she was reported talking about "hitting [some] white man". During the trial, Tarrant County Medical Examiner Peerwani testified that, had Mallard taken Biggs to a hospital, he would have recovered from his injuries.
