Woman who killed homeless man with her car gets 60 years in prison

FORT WORTH, TEXAS - A jury sentenced Chante Mallard to 60 years in prison Friday for leaving an accident victim to die a slow death while lodged in the broken windshield of her car.

After about 2.5 hours of deliberations, jurors sentenced Mallard to 50 years for murder and 10 years for tampering with evidence by burning a bloody car seat. She pleaded guilty to the tampering charge before her trial began Monday.

Mallard, 27, could have received anything from five years probation to life in prison for murdering Gregory Biggs.
