Man Describes Dumping Body Of Man Who Died In Windshield

FORT WORTH, Texas -- The prosecution's case in the trial of Chante Mallard appears to be moving faster than anticipated, and testimony may reportedly wrap up as early as Wednesday.

Tuesday, Mallard's ex-boyfriend took the stand telling prosecutors he hesitated in helping dispose of Greg Biggs' body.

Clete Jackson testified that he believed the entire incident was an accident, and that he and his cousin Herbert Tyrone Cleveland removed Biggs' body and dumped it in a public park hoping someone would find the body soon.

The two have already pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence. Jackson was sentenced to 10 years; Cleveland, nine years.

From the witness stand, Jackson recalled the moment he realized a human being was lodged in Mallard's Chevrolet Cavalier.

"So I went and looked and opened the car door. She was like, 'I hit somebody and he's still in the car.' [I saw] the dude ... just about his whole body on the floorboard, just about all of it," Jackson testified Tuesday.

Mallard, 27, faces life in prison if convicted. Her attorneys do not dispute she hit Biggs, 37, but say it was an accident, not murder.

Jackson said Mallard had borrowed a car and picked him up before 9 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2001, some six hours after she struck Biggs on Loop 820 in southeast Fort Worth and drove home with his bloody body lodged in the windshield.

Jackson testified that after Mallard showed him the car, the two drove to the apartment of Titilisee Fry, with whom Mallard drank and took drugs shortly before hitting Biggs. They discussed what to do.

"I said, `We ain't going to burn nobody.' We're going to put him somewhere so his family can find him so they can bury him, because it was an accident," said Jackson, his voice sometimes quivering.

The group decided to dump the body in a park.

That night, Jackson and Cleveland went with Mallard to her house. Jackson said he apologized to the lifeless Biggs as he spread a blanket on the garage floor and opened the passenger door.

"His weight was shifted against the car door. His body toppled out, sort of," Jackson said. "I just got a shovel and put his leg inside the blanket."

Well they were all burned for this evil crime!! Maybe it was an accident. But when you leave the scene with the man still lodged in the windshield then it becomes something else. Evidence proved that the man was still alive and suffering when she drove into her garage. How sick!! I hope she suffers for a long time in prison.

This was one of our judicial system's fastest cases in recent years! What a story and case it is/was.

I know Tom. Point to the story and the fast pace of this case is because there was only two witnesses and they helped dump the body.
