On October 26, 2001, twenty-five-year-old nursing assistant Chante Jawan Mallard murdered 37-year-old Gregory Glenn Biggs, a homeless man, with her automobile, in Fort Worth, Texas, United States.
Although he lived with mental health problems all his adult life, he took care of his son and held a job in construction as a mason.
[8] Mallard then drove home, leaving the injured Biggs stuck in her windshield, and parked her car in her garage.
After the accident, Mallard did not notify the police nor did she get Biggs any medical attention, even though she was a nursing assistant at the time.
[13] During the trial, Tarrant County medical examiner Nizam Peerwani testified that, had Mallard taken Biggs to a hospital, he would have recovered from his injuries.
In response, convicted murderers from around the country raised $10,000 as a college scholarship and had it presented at a ceremony to Brandon, who at the time was a 20-year-old pastoral ministry sophomore at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas.
[14] Since finishing his sentence, Clete Denel Jackson, who was imprisoned for helping move Biggs's body, has been in and out of prison on firearms- and drug-related charges.
