I believe the problem with finding a link is that's it's already a few months old. Good luck finding anyone who kept the story.

She hit a homeless man while driving under the influence of drugs, then she drove home with him lodged in her windshield where he stayed for a few days (?) till he died. He could have survived his injuries had she gotten help for him. But her "free will" trumped his "free will", and God would not use his "free will" to trump her "free will" because he was too much of a gentleman to impose himself into the situation. (even though she prayed for guidance) :banghead:

Given the focus on the murderer's religiosity, I am moving this thread to GRD.

The "lady" was on Ecstasy at the time.

Shows how drugs can fry your brain. And praying won't help.-------or certainly didn't in this case.

She also made love to her boyfriend and in between would go back out into the garage and tell the poor dying schmuck sticking out her windshield how sorry she was.

With a big enough population, very strange things can happen.

I have found the whole story to be really disturbing and rather disgusting. She had mind enough to call her boyfriend TWENTY times asking for his help and as a nurses aide she should have known, even in an alcohol, ecstasy and marijuana induced high to call 911! She just left him there to bleed to death and had her boyfriend and another family member dump the body. She was too afraid of getting caught and getting arrested for being drunk and stoned!

I hope she receives the maximum life sentence, as I do not favor the death penalty even in this heinous case.

Wasn't there an episode very similar to this on CSI ... maybe it was based off of this case?

The incident occurred in October 2001, so CSI could very well have featured it in an episode....

She used God as an avoidance mechanism. That constitutes a refutation of the argument that "we should let people believe in God if it makes them feel better."

Reverend Ruin

Drunk, on Ecstacy and high on pot. That's quite the inebriation.

Family Man

Yeah, CSI had an episode based on this incident. The perpetrator (an evil lawyer on TV) was caught because the victim was able to use his car phone to call 911.

Biff the unclean

So let me get this straight.
She called on God but God didn't do anything. Not because he is incapable of doing anything what with his being make believe and all. He didn't do anything out of respect for a woman who drove home with a street person's head stuck through her glass windshield.
So she didn't call 911 out of respect for the paramedics free will. She, being a nurses aid, knew if she called and gave them the knowledge that this guys smashed head existed they would be forced to behave like robots and come and save him.

So she did nothing, meaning she behaved exactly as God was behaving. She had probably asked herself the question "what would Jesus do?" The answer is 'Jesus doesn't do crap.'
