There's an important back-story to the next "shocking" trial about to get under way in Fort Worth, Texas.
It's the trial of Chante Jawan Mallard, charged with murder after she supposedly hit 37-year-old Gregory Biggs with her car while driving drunk on Oct. 26, 2001, then drove home with Biggs wedged in her windshield, still moaning, and left him in the garage to die.
