I think this is one of the darkest and most disturbing stories you’ve shared. This time it’s not the violence, or criminal intent, it’s the extreme negligence and total lack of empathy. You did a fantastic job humanizing Greg and sharing his unfortunate story.
Yes, it is so disturbing how she valued the irresponsibility of her lifestyle way more than her obligation to her gross mistakes, the suffering she would cause that man, and even his very existence. =(
Its almost unbelievable. It's one of those stories that you hear and kind of laugh and think "yeah, ok. That really happened".....but it did. It's insane. How can someone think letting someone die is better than spending a couple years I'm jail if she would have even gotten that much?
@@lostineggsaisle I was wondering that, what her sentence would have been if she'd if she'd got him help and owned up. She would still have faced criminal charges but he would still be alive.
I am so sorry for Greg. A men who lost literally everything in his life and still managed to be optimistic, has to die in such a horrific way. I am furious how someone can’t have 1% empathy.
I would've immediately snitched just for the fact that a "friend" cared so little about me that they'd invite me over, without my knowledge of their crime, forcing me to be involved. At that point, our friendship is over and I'm strictly looking out for myself, and maybe even saving a life as well.
I agree you're not getting involved in any crime I would have been pissed you calling me over I would have ran to the police not called him on the phone
Yeah, at that point you know y'all never had a friendship--you were always only a manipulated tool in that person's box. And you can be sure the person's probably trying to figure out how play the victim and pin the crime on you.
Nurses aids have one of the most difficult and underpaid jobs. As a nurse, I know they have to take a short course to become certified. They aren't allowed to dispense medication in the hospital. This girl is just cruel
To be fair, he was dead by the time the two guys were there and there was nothing they could do. Though instead of doing the right thing to call the police, they made the dumbest possible decision of aiding them to get rid of the body (and in an equally dumb method).
@@osamu_90 They literally got themselves into prison for *nothing* but an immature woman's decision in a drunken haze... They didn't even know her that well! 🤦♀️
@@dyawrIf you know someone committed a crime, and you don't call anyone to turn them in and/or help them avoid the consequences by, say, moving a body they clearly killed....you are *equally* guilty. Namely of obstructing justice.
I agree. T-Fry (however that's spelled) is just as guilty for doing nothing and *LETTING* Greg die so horribly. The fact that she was given full immunity sickens me, because she is NOT a saint in this story. She's cut from the same cloth as her friend, she should at least see some jail time.
@alecdickens1042 That's a stretch. Active evil is always worse and more pure evil than doing nothing to stop evil. Saying otherwise is just a meme. It's used in larger political contexts to shame and peer pressure people into choosing sides, especially when they don't have enough information. It's part of the cultural force that is polarizing everyone to the level of the individual. Just like religion in the Middle Ages, and just like totalitarian Stalinism, this is part of the ideology that controls not only people's behavior but even their thoughts. It's a tactic of control-though-shame they exercise not just publicly but also privately. You've been so easily convinced that this is correct, that you willingly go out of your way to spread their evil, actively. Side note, this active evil isn't as bad as others, since you and half the country are not even capable of recognizing that you're actively spreading that evil. You're just hopped up on the usual feel-good self-righteous patterns as every other kid, while doing nothing bra,e and certainly nothing good, for something outside of your own dopamine reward system.
The fact that she was medically trained AND that she could have gotten help for Greg makes this story even sadder. He could have been saved. RIP Greg, and well done on raising such a fine son.
It’s stunning she’d rather let this poor man suffer rather than take some wreckleas driving charges. I’m a carer and I’ve noticed a lot in the med iCal profession there’s a shocking amount of nasty , nasty people.
@@EllicottCity1 exactly . Why go into a profession that’s whole point is to care and just be stone cold evil in my eyes. I’ve seen and heard it all from nursing staff taking deceased clients valuables right through to some people just straight out messing with medications. Why? Why would anyone do that?
She didn't have a second of empathy for the guy dying and pleading for help next to her but she cries when she gets sentenced? Yeah, nah, she should rot in prison.
A number of people cry when they’re sentenced because it finally clicked with them that they can’t get out of the mess they made and they’re going to have to face serious consequences. For instance, there are a number of videos in which someone in their teens or twenties breaks down when sentenced because it’s finally clicked with them that Mommy & Daddy can’t save them from this and they will actually be facing punishment for their actions (or neglect in some cases). When the judge reads the sentence and bangs that gavel, a lot of entitled people realize their parents/spouses/associates, sweet-talking, pleading, threats, etc. won’t save them; they’re not special, and not only will they have to face punishment for the first time in however long, but the punishment will be real, lengthy, and definite. I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m making light of this or trying to attack people’s psychological distress because it’s certainly not my intention, but I wonder how many of the prisoners who make self-harm attempts are the same ones who proclaimed, “I won’t spend one day in jail!” or, “Even if I do go to jail, I’ll be running the place!” and then learned that wasn’t the case.
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra Yeah, I spent 6 months in jail. It does take a day or two for the reality that your freedom is gone to set in. I always enjoy the videos of teens disrespecting judges. They find out fast that's one of the worst things you can do. I had to go before the judge to get off probation. Hell, I was scared to talk when he was asking me questions. I didn't want to accidentally upset the person who has control of my freedom. lol Also I know the kind of person your talking about saying, "I’ll be running the place!” They're the loud mouth trying to put on a show, while hoping no one calls their bluff. In the jail I was in 95% of the fights were because of the TV remote. Someone in the pod would think they were gonna in control of the tv, instead of a vote on watch to watch. Eventually someone would get feed up and tell them to getting in the cut. where the cameras can see them. Seems like most would either not get in the cut and the few would did got their ass kicked. The other 5% of fighting were from ppl accused of cheating at Spades...
@@fukkitful Oh, interesting! Thank you for the perspective. I remember an associate of mine saying he had to show up for a speeding ticket, and he was so nervous in front of the judge that all he could say was, "Yes, sir. No, sir. Thank you, sir." I guess the people who think disrespecting the judge will go well are so used to not getting repercussions for being a rude twerp they've become deluded, and those people eventually learn some very harsh lessons. Have you ever seen the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Wild"? It began and ended with a dispute over the TV remote among inmates at Arkham Asylum (Poison Ivy: "Hey, I was watching that!" The Joker: "And now you're watching *this*!"). I had no idea that this was a main source of conflict in real life. 😲The people who think they're intimidating remind me of the preview for The New Guy (2002 film) in which the guy at the prison instructs, "You got to give 'em the crazy eyes!" and it cuts to people being scared of his crazy eyes. It then shows the protagonist trying to give someone at the cafeteria the crazy eyes and having someone throw food at him.
Could there be a bigger victim than this guy? Not only did the love of his life fleece him for everything he had but then he gets hit by a car and suffers a long agonizing death
She’s a true monster. Just unbelievably awful. It terrifies me to my core that someone could put someone through that and then be back to partying a couple days later like nothing happened. 50 years seems to light of a punishment.
might seem light but the bulk of her life would be taken from her, she would go out as an elderly.. of course it would be good if it was a life time, though usually a life time punishment would indicate an intent to cause bodily harm though what she did in respond to what happened is not excusable.. she was most probably worried about being incriminated for her use of alcohol and substances which led to the accident.. being in the medical field myself, i could never forgive myself if such a thing happened.. honestly i would have just called an ambulance and receive whatever repercussion i should be receiving.. because it would be going against my oath to society (hippocratic oath) and the punishment would have been much lighter.. though with that said, i would never drunk drive, with my family in the medical field as well as constantly being upset with those who do unnecessary damage especially like drunk driving that takes the life of another unnecessarily.. and its always young people who makes this kind of silly mistakes.. though if it was my family member who died due to such circumstances, i would like justice.. and at the same time its usually someone young getting implicated.. its just a horrible situation all around.. just dont drive under the influence.. parents and society need to push and get this inculcated/implemented amongst our youth, dont drive under the infuence!!
Nowadays, if this happens, she will just get a slap in the wrist and Greg will need to pay her for traumatizing her with his death. Victimhood, sister!!!!
The person who ultimately turned Chante in was a girl who didn't like her and sought revenge. Nobody along the way cared about the actual victim, just "what about me?" how sad
Life's a bitch and then you die.. Growing up I had alot of friends and a family I thought loved me.. Long story short, my mom and step dad abandoned me and I moved in with my dad who started mentally abusing me for being depressed and not being able to function. Alot of people got offended that I would isolate and never reach out. Had a best friend of mine try to hook up with my girlfriend, found out my girlfriend was perusing a relationship with a married military man. None of my family ever reached out to me after I stopped coming around. Gave my life to Christ, met Christians who were more wicked than my atheist friends of the past haha. I onoy have two or three people I associate with in any capacity.. I had to learn that people are evil the hard way.. I rarely go out for any reason
All he wanted was someone to care about him as much as he care for other people his entire life, as well as during his death. This broke my heart and brought a grown man to tears.
@@SeriousSchittI don't belive in it either .I found a wallet on the train and gave it back to the person the on my way home my ipod was stolen from my pocket
@@fionahamilton7231 Dead right Fi. Karma is just a figment of people’s imagination, it’s just pure luck if someone happens to get punished for sinning against you. You sound like you’re honest, don’t let it stop you from being a good person and doing good deeds though.
Videos like this should always be followed by videos of people being heroes. Remind yourself that for every psuedo human garbage creature, there's always at least one brave soul to be proud of.
Now, aside from this psychopath people need to think about society's fault in this in general. Specifically American society. He did mention in the beginning that Greg would be able to find friends but they would flake on him so he was even more responsive to others next time around. Now, as an immigrant living in America for a while now, I can definitely say there's a trend or a way that Americans interact with each other and treat others. I'm not going to sugar coat and be completely honest. Americans from my experience of course are generally flaky, insincere, and self absorbed. The amount of flakiness, not following up what they say they are going to do and just general disregard for others people feelings is staggering. I've heard that from other immigrants as well. There is a trend. So, the situation with this man was set up by your own society, not first hand, by definitely second-handly. Not sure how much of this will get through their heads.
Exactly. That on top of when you rot in prison for all of your youth then taste freedom again just as your body is about to give out in old age.. that in and of itself would be completely psychologically debilitating.
Nurses, and doctors need to pass a rigorous psych exam. If they fail, that is it, find another profession. Same with cops but they allow psychos onboard.
@@bonchidude A highly intelligent narcissist will no doubt pass those evaluation tests with flying colors. Are You familiar with "The Angel of Death" (Charles Cullen, a male that killed many, many patients, while working as a nurse, in N.J. ...)? Harold Shipman, M.D. was a British G.P. - it's estimated that he killed well over 200 people, while in practice. Anyone else applying for a position in healthcare (with strong, narcissistic tendencies - and that's not a doctor or a nurse...), will simply fly under the radar.
@@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579 There is no way to make it stringent enough? Well, if not then delve into their past and no detail is too small. Hurting small animals is a disqualifier and hurting people too.

Last time I heard someone equating death with no more suffering it was my sister who was on the verge of committing suicide. Please don't romanticize death. It's no more suffering, but it's also no more happiness, no more love, no more joy. It's no more nothing.
@@Trip_mania they didn’t romanize death. He was just saying that after all he’s gone through he will finally be painless and in a better place. I see what you mean though. He’s just giving his condolences.
@@jessicamarie42503 I go that. I just think it's a really bad way to give condoleances for the reason I gave. You can call it romanticizing or not, I just think it is really bad to pretend death can be a "better place". I hope people realize that when someone is trying to save another person from suicide they are exactly trying to talk them out of that idea, that exact same idea. Yes, it may sound like a very nice way to give someone's codoleances for anybody who never thought it through. But please think it through now.
@@bladeguru6358 Your kids can only strive to be the type of person you nurtured them to be. Nature, society, outside influences, free will, personality traits, learned and acquired behaviors from outside influences and life events determine a large part of what someone's kids will turn out to be. All parents can do is love them and support them, and when they break your heart, you love them and support them even harder. That's what family does, the love each other and cause pain to each other. We often hurt those we care about the most when we're in pain because we know that they will forgive us and continue to love us. Family is a very intricate paradigm with constantly evolving dynamics
Right son was a better man than i would of been. Woulda looked at her and called her selfish moron. Spec afterbhearing she was out partying again days later. Smh hard thing to forgive thats for sure
Greg obviously did a great job raising his son and his memory will live on. Poor Greg must have been absolutely terrified while in excruciating pain. RIP Greg!
I remember hearing this story on the news. Such a cruel and unusual way to die. How helpless he must have felt. Hopefully he was in deep enough shock to keep from realising it.
You mean the guy who went homeless and put his son in a difficult situation because he gave away all his money to a woman? That's not kindness, that's plain stupidity.
@@Impostor39890 I mean the guy who kept in contact with his son even though, as stated, he had mental health issues. I have worked in mental health my entire career and it is an extremely difficult life and he stayed connected to his son. An admirable quality in my opinion.
A people-pleaser got scammed by an obviously skilful exploiter. His fault was being a rube, but she was clearly a practiced manipulator who rightfully marked him as easy prey. I do agree that at the point where he obsession with the cow was destabilising his son's life he owed it to him to smarten up, though. He got done dirty, but he owed his kid better.
Took 2 to raise him but many men have, would, & will quit when they can barely handle thier own life. Testament to him being a man, father, & human being sticking around & helping raise his son despite large set backs.

After watching this, I look it up, and almost everywhere says things like : "Mallard, then 25 years old, hit the homeless Biggs with her vehicle." Describing Gregg, only as a homeless man, no description on him as a person. but of course - lots of information on Chante !? Mr Ballen, however , describes Gregg's character so well that I almost forgot he was even a homeless man , the description of his optimism and good nature just shined through and became the core representation of him. The thing I love most about Mr Ballen.. Is his respect ❤️💎
The way that man died has got to be one of the worst ways a human death can go down. Alone in a pitch dark garage, hurt badly, in agonizing pain, and knowing that you've been left for dead while hearing people mill about other parts of the home. I would have less contempt for Chante if Greg had been killed on impact, as bad as it would still be. Putting him through that is unforgivable IMO Greg's son Brandon is a better man than me I guess.
@PaynePillzPittBullz&Pistolz stop with this racism bs. How is this racism in the slightest ? Y’all weirdos are literally the reason the world is in such a horrible spot.

Everybody’s gotta go somehow. That includes you, and me, and anybody reading this. “Befriend your death. In the end, it’s all you’ll have” - me as far as I know

It is rare when the true nature of someone's character is put to the test. This is one of those moment's, and they failed in absolutely every possible way a person could fail.
@@bm-ww8kb But they know first aid and as was said even first aid would have saved him! Saving a life is should be first instinct in the caring professions. Don't make excuses for their abhorrent negligance. *Everybody* ignored this man's suffering.
They treated this poor man like literal road-kill. How can people be so depraved and criminally inclined? The son has such class and character - I would have raged in that court room.
I never even knew the race of the victim in this story. I knew nothing about him, and I appreciate that he is given some respect after his death at the hands of others.
As an RN and a mother .. this caregiver, letting a man die like that is horrific. Any individual that did that or similar to my child … would be forgiven, after they suffered the same. That would be my peace and my moment of insanity. People say revenge doesn’t solve anything but it certainly would if you are a parent that has nothing left to lose.
This was so cold-hearted. She had absolutely no care or thought for the injured but alive person she had harmed. She accidentally injured him but she purposefully caused his death. She literally left him to die a slow agonizing death in her garage. She deserves every year of her sentence.
I have no evidence for this but it does make me wonder if it was an accident in the first place or if she deliberately tried to run him over and got a shock when he got stuck in the windscreen instead of her being able to just drive off.
@@jessicataylor7174 That would make it even worse. But hopefully she wasn’t actually trying to hit him. Either way I guess we can’t truly consider it an accident. Even if she wasn’t aiming for him on purpose, it still isn’t a true accident because she chose to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. So either way not a true accident.
@@jessicataylor7174 I don’t think so tbh, cuz why would she call her friend screaming and crying hysterically if she didn’t have any remorse? Her friend made a lot of poor choices too tho! She should’ve asked her to stay the night knowing she was massively intoxicated. And when she saw the guy was still clinging onto life, she could’ve drove him to the hospital while he had the chance. Im assuming the real reason shante didn’t call 911 is cuz she didn’t wanna get charged with manslaughter, wreckless endangerment, DUI, etc cuz all those things combined would be a pretty hefty prison sentence. I think she was so intoxicated that she couldn’t drive or think straight and once she sobered up and came to her senses the next day, it was too late and he was already dead. So now being this deep in, she felt the only way out was to get rid of the body since there was no helping him anymore. To be clear, I’m not justifying anything she did. I just don’t think any of this was premeditated, it was a combination of mixing drugs w alcohol, being selfish, and VERY poor decision making
I can't express enough appreciation for Mr Ballen introducing Greg Biggs as a father who ended up in tough times due to people exploiting his kindness but despite those hardships, he was eager to fix his life as much as possible just so he can spend more time with his son, as opposed to be just a homeless person who became a "plot point" subject to a manslaughter incident.
100%! That is one of the reasons I think Mr. Ballen is probably one of the greatest story tellers on TH-cam. Little to no corner cutting with research and is always honoring and respectful of the people affected - not glorifying a murder case.
He's always extremely kind to the people that are a part of these stories even to the point of some that may NOT be quite so deserving. It's an amazing character virtue, this generosity.
Now that’s a horrific event but the fact they left him to die a miserable death while they slept for 7 hours is beyond comprehension.all involved should never step outside of prison again
@@emilyahnen3805 yes 💯agree! Soo thankful for Mr Ballen and for sharing Greg's story to the world, albeit a tragic life (he deserved so much better than the cards he was dealt with😔😥) but his name will forever be remembered and honoured.. RIP Greg Biggs💞
The moment anyone drives under the influence, any sympathy for them goes out of the window. No one gives a shit about them endangering their own lives but they're a danger to others too. They should pass down some legislation that automatically gives the maximum punishment for anyone who kills someone while driving under the influence.
All of them are super dumb, the best friend didnt help him and also told other people of the crime, and the 2 guys who did nothing wrong could have just called the cops and avoided going to jail
She should never get out of jail! She's the very definition of a narcissist, couldn't be bothered or inconvenienced by getting a suffering human being help.
I Totally agree i dont swear much and after i heard the horrifying story i immediately just started cussing I just reapeted the sentece "she should deserve the death" sentence over and over again
The scary thing is that she was a nurse in charge of extremely vulnerable people, elderly and frail . It wouldn’t surprise me that she was rough and unkind with them because they couldn’t stand up to her .
Chante is straight evil. The fact that she had all of these resources, and even being medically trained to save people, is disgusting. I bet she would’ve gotten a suspended license and a few months in jail or something just by getting him help. Smh RIP to Greg.

T-Fry should get time as well despite her testimony. Poor guy was clearly still alive when she went over to Chante so T-Fry's negligence too amounted to the guy's death.
I agree. It makes no sense to give her immunity when she could've easily called the cops on Chante immediately. She ratted her friend out regardless, but at least she would have been somewhat of a decent human being. She should be in prison as well.

Thank you for pointing out how many ways she let Greg down. He seems to have been a gentle over generous man with a big heart. I'm so sorry for him. These women are beyond evil. May they be tormented by this forevermore.
His son's faith and forgiving her. And feeling bad for her family. Tells you a lot what kind of man Greg raised him to be. What kind person he is. Greg sir you made one hell of a young man to say that during the trail. RIP Greg.
This reminds of the "Christian" cheerleader. Didn't want her parents to know she was having sex, got pregnant but was anti-abortion. Didn't tell anyone, had the baby full term. When it mysteriously died she tried to burn it in the backyard before burying it.
I honestly won’t forget Greg. It makes me sick what happened to him and that he was taken advantage of for his generosity. RIP Greg you seemed like a good man and deserved much better
This story has been in my head since it happened. One of those that sticks with you. It’s almost incomprehensible, the choices she made. As a man was moaning in agony in her garage, she decided she would deal with it later.
The pure selfishness of it all. She would rather let a man slowly die in agony than to call for medical assistance. She chose to kill him to avoid the risk of identifying herself. The irony is, if she had’ve just done the right thing, he would have survived and she would never have been charged for murder - at the most she would’ve been given manslaughter. Instead, a man is dead and multiple families have been affected.

It was a husband and wife. The young woman was a neighbor from another state they used to live in and they actually treated her like a grandchild. She shacked up with this piece of garbage and he brought out her garbage side even more. If I remember correctly, the husband had told other people that he got a bad vibe from the guy. The older couple heard movement downstairs, at night, from their office and found some checks missing (they let the younger couple stay a few nights with them). I believe the swine got a third person to help them kidnap the elders, steal their money and take them out to the woods at night. They were buried while they were still alive. The most horrific part for me was reading the medical examiner’s report and the amount of dirt that was in both of their mouths, throats and even lungs. When investigators recovered the bodies, I can’t remember if they were holding hands or cradled together. I do know that it was a hauntingly sweet gesture that showed their love and devotion to one another and the overwhelming need for them to comfort each other at the end. Those killers are pure garbage, not even human.
Sober and had time to think what a terrible thing she had done.Hopefully sje can transform herself and get paroled at some point.From the description of the giy she killed he would prob want her to get a second chance.
Poor Greg, struggling with life in general but feeling optimistic, then he crossed paths with this woman. Her lack of empathy is horrific. Unimaginable. She and her friend shut the garage door and went elsewhere to sleep.
It is possible to feel both remorse and an extreme sense of self preservation (which is kinda important to anything that lives) which can make someone both regret what has happened and not want to then effectively end their own life by ending up in prison
I can see the shock and panic she must have felt, but her capacity to ignore the pleas of that man is beyond cruel. Even if I could have gotten in serious trouble, I still would do whatever I had to do to get help for the man. I couldn’t live with myself knowing his death was my fault.
Meh, the creators of content like this have a habit of making every victim out to be a lovable saintly person. Not saying he wasn’t but they and we know little to nothing about who those people actually were.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx I mean everyone has their own fuck ups but until they were really horrible people I think it is better to remember them for the good they had in them. Also if these channels start doing character analysis then the videos would get really long.
@4Ӄメ𝚆𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚜𝚜 No we don't need more people like Greg, who was utterly foolish. We need to educate people not to be so desperate for affection that it makes them total walkovers. He likely had some issues from his childhood goig on. Predators see folk like that coming from a mile off.
Brandan needs to be protected at all cost. I cannot imagine someone taking my father's life so recklessly and publicly forgiving that person. I know forgiveness isn't for the other person but wow. That moved me to tears.
Or a bit of a racist, considering she was laughing to her friends about "running over a white boy." Check out some non-woke versions of this story by people who don't have large TH-cam channels to protect.
I remember this case. I was astounded at the complete lack of empathy involved. She just plain didn't want to get in trouble for drunk driving, so instead, she'll spend the bulk of her adult life in prison.
I was living in Dallas at the time this crime happened. It was a HUGE story in the DFW area, but there was little mention in the national press. Sadly, one angle the defense (and the media) played at the start was that she was this confused "saintly nurse" while the victim was just a bum whose life was not worth anything, sort of a Healer versus Homeless-the story didn't fly in the courtroom. He was a hardworking decent man who trusted the wrong people in his life; all he wanted was to keep working and improve his life. Such a sad story, all-around. I feel sorry for her family, and for that son to testify his forgiveness proves his dad did leave a positive legacy in this world. Don't do drugs, y'all-when the fun wears off, the outcomes will not be a success. (PS This story was the basis of an episode on the TV show CSI years ago; it was chilling to watch and to know it was true.)
I remember that episode and thought that there was no way someone would do that. The real story is so much worse than the made-up version because the real victim was such a good guy on bad times trying to turn his life around. I think the made-up victim tried to commit suicide by vehicle.
The way his son handled it was beautiful I can tell Greg was a real stand up guy shame he had to pass in such a way I hope him and his family can find some peace
I remember when this happened. It was so shocking and heartbreaking. They always described Greg simply as "a homeless man". It was so infuriating! He was a person, a human being! I will say that he and his exwife did a phenomenal job in raising their son. What a kind-hearted soul.
I just was looking for a comment like this. Now that is a good human being. I'm sorry to say I would have taken the opportunity to tell her what a demon she was and hoped she rotted. I'm sure it's more healing to forgive.
It moved me to tears, Especially being how young he is!! So mature for his age!! I think he realizes shante prolly didn’t go to police cuz she knew she’d get long prison time for involuntary manslaughter and DUI (if she was sober she prolly would’ve gotten off completely), but when you’re drinking they automatically assume the accident was a direct result of the drinking. Even tho he could’ve been the one to run out in front of her unexpectedly, they would still consider it her fault solely cuz she was drinking... If she was worried about prison, she still could’ve dropped him off at the hospital or a fire station. I’m sure she’ll have learned her lesson after 50 years tho! She’ll be like 70...
@@kayleigh3648 Problem is that's her being selfish and going light on a drunk driver is unbelievable to me. Actions have consequences; she chose to do drugs, drink, and then drive. How people can have sympathy for someone who blatantly put others in danger with their actions like that is beyond me. No one forced her to do those things and her fear of consequences tortured and killed a man. She hit him when he was on the sidewalk so reckless endangerment and loss of her license would have been the likely outcome if she wasn't drinking. But she drinking and so would have deserved the felony DUI, but I imagine if she had rendered aid and called for help, they would have been lenient on her compared to 50 years. Given that Greg's son forgave her, Greg probably would have as well.
@@PoliceTelephoneBox Right... I’m not saying she SHOULDVE dropped him off in front of the hospital or fire station, but it certainly would’ve been better than doing nothing at all! After I reread my comment, it kinda looks like I was sticking up for her lol. I was just trying to explain WHY she did it cuz a lot of ppl weren’t understanding her motive or reasoning. She was selfish, plain and simple! What infuriates me the most is that she went off clubbing again (presumably driving intoxicated again) the next week!! 😤 What she did was bad enough, but that should’ve been a VERY BIG wake up call! If u kill someone as a result of u driving intoxicated, why tf would u continue doing it?!? 😡😡😡
I don't think I could forgive someone for being so heartless to one of my loved ones. The greatest thing Greg ever did was to instill in his son the ability to have compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. What a legacy he leaves!!
Absolutely not, a nursing assistant vs a registered nurse is apple and oranges. Nursing assistance take a 6 week course. Registered Nurses (RN) have bachelors degrees in nursing attend college/university for 4 years, and those who have an associate degree in nursing go to college/community college for 2 years. Then all nurses are required to pass a state board of nursing to obtain their license to practice nursing in their perspective states. There are also licensed practical nurse (LPN)/licensed vocational nurses (LVN) who attend a community college for 12-18 months and who also must pass a state board examine. A LPN/LVN scope of practice is limited compared to that of a RN. Because of that limited scope of practice, most hospitals in my state do not hire them very often. A nursing assistant assist the nurses and performs most of the unskilled patient care such as taking vital signs, baths, bed making, transport of patients. The women discussed in this video who shamefully hit this man, leaving him in her windshield to die was a nursing assistant and regardless to anyone’s occupation or education level, we all are human beings and should care for one another. I only attempted to point out the marked differences in education preparation , training and scope of practice. A nurse is no more of a doctor just as a nursing assistant is in no way a registered nurse or a licensed vocational nurse, but they all are in the business of taking care of people.
@@caroljackson4093 There are plenty of nurses who have degrees etc and are complete ass holes and psychopaths Doing a degree doesn't mean you have empathy

It was a teachable moment and I seized it and you missed it.
I remember when this happened. Due to the severity of the crime, and Texas’ “Truth in Sentencing “ she will due 35-50 years. She won’t be paroled in 2027. This was negligent on every level of decency to humanity. She needs to serve the whole sentence. Thanks for reminding me, I’ll be writing a powerful letter to the court to keep her in prison.
The entire 5o years, should have gotten life!,, at the very least, no early parole, let her walk out in the agreed 50 years, when she's old and needs a cane to walk out!
@@stevej3297 Just a quick summary: Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two women-the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia-both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin’s honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him. Moral: Good guys that act good in a bad world lose.
Its truly amazing how different two sides of humanity can be at times, You 3 people on one side who have zero regard for another persons life and and then you have the son who even tho he lost his father because of those 3 animals, he still forgives them and feels empathy for the families,
Even if you know the gist of pay phones, it's not necessarily obvious that 911 is free of charge. Good to know if you've gone out without a charged phone and quarters!
The sad irony: she would have received a fraction of the punishment if she’d simply called 911 immediately. The man would be alive and she’d be a free person in at most a few years. Smh
Exactly. I know that in Canada the maximum punishment for hurting somebody while driving impaired is 10 years. I imagine is even lower in the States. Had she seek to give him help she would probably just have done a couple of years, considering he would have survived.
Yes, and if she had gotten him help then he could have testified on her behalf which would have made a big difference in sentencing I am sure. They may have even become close friends. So sad for everyone. especially, the gentleman who lost his life.
A paramedic during these trying times? >_> Not only the pandemic and all that bidness but I've learned EMT's arent considered essential legally and paid shite with shite hours. You must be doing it for the betterment of humanity.
@@alexcisneros2980 yes, so it’s a state by state basis but I believe only 14/50 recognize EMS as essential. When I was in GA, I started out as an EMT making 9.92/h to run 911 in Savannah which is now considered more dangerous than Atlanta. After I got my Paramedic cert, my pay increased but no where near what I deserved. I stayed there about 4 years so I could gain a ton of experience. Thankfully, I got a job in NC where EMS is considered essential & my quality of life & pay has been so much better. I can tell you 99% of us do it because we really do care & love what we do because the pay has never been it 😂
Well a lot of nurses are sociopathic with a slight god complex hoping to someday land a patient that is rich so she can marry him. It's why women become nurses hoping to strike it rich
The second you described those injuries I knew what happened, but the amount of time he was stuck was truly shocking. May he rest in peace, that is atrocious.
I remember this trial as a child. I remember my uncle saying how some lady hit a man and then left him in her car. I didn’t follow any other details because I was like 12 at the time but hearing how awful this story truly was gives me chills.
there is a good movie with major stars on this story. i think it is called Stuck. or something like that. girl from American Pie who played Heather.-really good movie
She didn't want to get in trouble for hitting somebody so bad that she tried to keep it secret by just letting him die. This is exactly what "I know what you did last summer" is about.
I feel like its the power of the mind, she tought this would ruin her life, and whatever extreme she tought, but the moment she thought that, and made choices according to that thought, is what made her really ruin her life... Sadly if she just faced the consequences, n went to the hospital with him, it wouldnt of ended this bad
@@anadubar4819 that’s exactly it, she knew that she was getting slammed by the police for what happened and trued to hide the truth even if it meant he’d die and someone else got blamed
This is why I believe psyche evaluations and drug tests should be mandatory in care and medical fields, the thought of your child, elderly family member or loved one being looked after by people like this is distressing
Every participant in this act is just plain wicked. That Chaunte was only crying for herself. THe son showed way more grace and restraint than anyone who participated in the crime deserved.

Justin, Im sorry I know its hurts and your sad, just remember its OKAY to allow yourself & your family to feel those emotions. When I loose someone close it makes me feel better to talk to them so be sure to do that (in your head, out loud, In your home, car, whenever, wherever, and however). Your father will not only hear you he'll be with you in those moments. I know most of us believe that speaking to loved ones who have passed over doesn't began to come close to what we had when they were "with" us but don't be fooled by what your eyes cannot see, now he will ALWAYS be no more than one word or one thought away from being by your side(as you know im sure). So you have your father now as much or more than you've ever had!☺ God bless you and all those who love your father🙏🏾
Mr Ballen is so respectful about these stories, always getting permission and not making a big spectacle of these disasters. That's more than most people do
I think this is one of the darkest and most disturbing stories you’ve shared. This time it’s not the violence, or criminal intent, it’s the extreme negligence and total lack of empathy. You did a fantastic job humanizing Greg and sharing his unfortunate story.
Yes, it is so disturbing how she valued the irresponsibility of her lifestyle way more than her obligation to her gross mistakes, the suffering she would cause that man, and even his very existence. =(
Lack of empathy = true evil .
If that's you in the pp Harrison Grimes, you have a FABULOUS mustache. Chefs kiss *
Its almost unbelievable. It's one of those stories that you hear and kind of laugh and think "yeah, ok. That really happened".....but it did. It's insane. How can someone think letting someone die is better than spending a couple years I'm jail if she would have even gotten that much?
@@lostineggsaisle I was wondering that, what her sentence would have been if she'd if she'd got him help and owned up. She would still have faced criminal charges but he would still be alive.

I would've immediately snitched just for the fact that a "friend" cared so little about me that they'd invite me over, without my knowledge of their crime, forcing me to be involved. At that point, our friendship is over and I'm strictly looking out for myself, and maybe even saving a life as well.
Facts I wouldn't had waited either... It's called wait right here and I'm calling cops

Yeah, at that point you know y'all never had a friendship--you were always only a manipulated tool in that person's box. And you can be sure the person's probably trying to figure out how play the victim and pin the crime on you.
Definitely.
The scariest thing is that someone with this little intelligence and compassion could work in the medical field.
I wonder how many she let her patient die and just say sorry.
They know there's money in the medical field. That's the only reason the majority of them are there. Sad but true.

What a tragic case. Poor Greg did not deserve to die in such a horrific manner. Shame on all involved who did zero to help him.
To be fair, he was dead by the time the two guys were there and there was nothing they could do. Though instead of doing the right thing to call the police, they made the dumbest possible decision of aiding them to get rid of the body (and in an equally dumb method).

@@dyawrIf you know someone committed a crime, and you don't call anyone to turn them in and/or help them avoid the consequences by, say, moving a body they clearly killed....you are *equally* guilty. Namely of obstructing justice.
I agree. T-Fry (however that's spelled) is just as guilty for doing nothing and *LETTING* Greg die so horribly. The fact that she was given full immunity sickens me, because she is NOT a saint in this story. She's cut from the same cloth as her friend, she should at least see some jail time.
@alecdickens1042 That's a stretch. Active evil is always worse and more pure evil than doing nothing to stop evil. Saying otherwise is just a meme. It's used in larger political contexts to shame and peer pressure people into choosing sides, especially when they don't have enough information. It's part of the cultural force that is polarizing everyone to the level of the individual. Just like religion in the Middle Ages, and just like totalitarian Stalinism, this is part of the ideology that controls not only people's behavior but even their thoughts. It's a tactic of control-though-shame they exercise not just publicly but also privately. You've been so easily convinced that this is correct, that you willingly go out of your way to spread their evil, actively. Side note, this active evil isn't as bad as others, since you and half the country are not even capable of recognizing that you're actively spreading that evil. You're just hopped up on the usual feel-good self-righteous patterns as every other kid, while doing nothing bra,e and certainly nothing good, for something outside of your own dopamine reward system.
The fact that she was medically trained AND that she could have gotten help for Greg makes this story even sadder. He could have been saved.
RIP Greg, and well done on raising such a fine son.
The moral material in the human race is waning away.
It’s stunning she’d rather let this poor man suffer rather than take some wreckleas driving charges. I’m a carer and I’ve noticed a lot in the med iCal profession there’s a shocking amount of nasty , nasty people.
@@Forflipsake- I was just talking to my husband and this, both sad & bizarre that so many long term care employees seem to be involved in crime
@@EllicottCity1 exactly . Why go into a profession that’s whole point is to care and just be stone cold evil in my eyes. I’ve seen and heard it all from nursing staff taking deceased clients valuables right through to some people just straight out messing with medications. Why? Why would anyone do that?
There shouldn’t be forgiveness for racism and neglect.
She didn't have a second of empathy for the guy dying and pleading for help next to her but she cries when she gets sentenced? Yeah, nah, she should rot in prison.
She cared more about getting possibly a DUI. Ridiculous.
A number of people cry when they’re sentenced because it finally clicked with them that they can’t get out of the mess they made and they’re going to have to face serious consequences. For instance, there are a number of videos in which someone in their teens or twenties breaks down when sentenced because it’s finally clicked with them that Mommy & Daddy can’t save them from this and they will actually be facing punishment for their actions (or neglect in some cases). When the judge reads the sentence and bangs that gavel, a lot of entitled people realize their parents/spouses/associates, sweet-talking, pleading, threats, etc. won’t save them; they’re not special, and not only will they have to face punishment for the first time in however long, but the punishment will be real, lengthy, and definite. I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m making light of this or trying to attack people’s psychological distress because it’s certainly not my intention, but I wonder how many of the prisoners who make self-harm attempts are the same ones who proclaimed, “I won’t spend one day in jail!” or, “Even if I do go to jail, I’ll be running the place!” and then learned that wasn’t the case.
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra Yeah, I spent 6 months in jail. It does take a day or two for the reality that your freedom is gone to set in. I always enjoy the videos of teens disrespecting judges. They find out fast that's one of the worst things you can do. I had to go before the judge to get off probation. Hell, I was scared to talk when he was asking me questions. I didn't want to accidentally upset the person who has control of my freedom. lol
Also I know the kind of person your talking about saying, "I’ll be running the place!” They're the loud mouth trying to put on a show, while hoping no one calls their bluff. In the jail I was in 95% of the fights were because of the TV remote. Someone in the pod would think they were gonna in control of the tv, instead of a vote on watch to watch. Eventually someone would get feed up and tell them to getting in the cut. where the cameras can see them. Seems like most would either not get in the cut and the few would did got their ass kicked.
The other 5% of fighting were from ppl accused of cheating at Spades...
@@fukkitful Oh, interesting! Thank you for the perspective. I remember an associate of mine saying he had to show up for a speeding ticket, and he was so nervous in front of the judge that all he could say was, "Yes, sir. No, sir. Thank you, sir." I guess the people who think disrespecting the judge will go well are so used to not getting repercussions for being a rude twerp they've become deluded, and those people eventually learn some very harsh lessons.
Have you ever seen the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Wild"? It began and ended with a dispute over the TV remote among inmates at Arkham Asylum (Poison Ivy: "Hey, I was watching that!" The Joker: "And now you're watching *this*!"). I had no idea that this was a main source of conflict in real life. 😲The people who think they're intimidating remind me of the preview for The New Guy (2002 film) in which the guy at the prison instructs, "You got to give 'em the crazy eyes!" and it cuts to people being scared of his crazy eyes. It then shows the protagonist trying to give someone at the cafeteria the crazy eyes and having someone throw food at him.
I very much agree

She’s a true monster. Just unbelievably awful. It terrifies me to my core that someone could put someone through that and then be back to partying a couple days later like nothing happened. 50 years seems to light of a punishment.
might seem light but the bulk of her life would be taken from her, she would go out as an elderly.. of course it would be good if it was a life time, though usually a life time punishment would indicate an intent to cause bodily harm though what she did in respond to what happened is not excusable.. she was most probably worried about being incriminated for her use of alcohol and substances which led to the accident.. being in the medical field myself, i could never forgive myself if such a thing happened.. honestly i would have just called an ambulance and receive whatever repercussion i should be receiving.. because it would be going against my oath to society (hippocratic oath) and the punishment would have been much lighter.. though with that said, i would never drunk drive, with my family in the medical field as well as constantly being upset with those who do unnecessary damage especially like drunk driving that takes the life of another unnecessarily.. and its always young people who makes this kind of silly mistakes.. though if it was my family member who died due to such circumstances, i would like justice.. and at the same time its usually someone young getting implicated.. its just a horrible situation all around.. just dont drive under the influence.. parents and society need to push and get this inculcated/implemented amongst our youth, dont drive under the infuence!!
Especially how she was just able to go to her friend's apartment and sleep for several hours while Greg was in horrible pain and slowly dying
Nowadays, if this happens, she will just get a slap in the wrist and Greg will need to pay her for traumatizing her with his death. Victimhood, sister!!!!

Remind yourself that for every psuedo human garbage creature, there's always at least one brave soul to be proud of.
Now, aside from this psychopath people need to think about society's fault in this in general. Specifically American society. He did mention in the beginning that Greg would be able to find friends but they would flake on him so he was even more responsive to others next time around. Now, as an immigrant living in America for a while now, I can definitely say there's a trend or a way that Americans interact with each other and treat others. I'm not going to sugar coat and be completely honest. Americans from my experience of course are generally flaky, insincere, and self absorbed. The amount of flakiness, not following up what they say they are going to do and just general disregard for others people feelings is staggering. I've heard that from other immigrants as well. There is a trend. So, the situation with this man was set up by your own society, not first hand, by definitely second-handly. Not sure how much of this will get through their heads.
My God he was alive after she hit him but stuck in the windshield. The terror that man suffered. She should have gotten Life, no parole Period.
Exactly. That on top of when you rot in prison for all of your youth then taste freedom again just as your body is about to give out in old age.. that in and of itself would be completely psychologically debilitating.
Well, she was a racist and didn't like White people so it makes sense she let him die.

@@bladeguru6358 Your kids can only strive to be the type of person you nurtured them to be. Nature, society, outside influences, free will, personality traits, learned and acquired behaviors from outside influences and life events determine a large part of what someone's kids will turn out to be. All parents can do is love them and support them, and when they break your heart, you love them and support them even harder. That's what family does, the love each other and cause pain to each other. We often hurt those we care about the most when we're in pain because we know that they will forgive us and continue to love us. Family is a very intricate paradigm with constantly evolving dynamics

Greg obviously did a great job raising his son and his memory will live on. Poor Greg must have been absolutely terrified while in excruciating pain. RIP Greg!
I remember hearing this story on the news. Such a cruel and unusual way to die. How helpless he must have felt. Hopefully he was in deep enough shock to keep from realising it.
You mean the guy who went homeless and put his son in a difficult situation because he gave away all his money to a woman? That's not kindness, that's plain stupidity.
@@Impostor39890 I mean the guy who kept in contact with his son even though, as stated, he had mental health issues. I have worked in mental health my entire career and it is an extremely difficult life and he stayed connected to his son. An admirable quality in my opinion.

His fault was being a rube, but she was clearly a practiced manipulator who rightfully marked him as easy prey.
I do agree that at the point where he obsession with the cow was destabilising his son's life he owed it to him to smarten up, though. He got done dirty, but he owed his kid better.
The way his son handled that showed what kind of a father Greg was.
Rest In Peace Greg ♥️
I thought the same thing.. ugh. Rest In Peace 💯❤️
Took 2 to raise him but many men have, would, & will quit when they can barely handle thier own life. Testament to him being a man, father, & human being sticking around & helping raise his son despite large set backs.

After watching this, I look it up, and almost everywhere says things like : "Mallard, then 25 years old, hit the homeless Biggs with her vehicle."
Describing Gregg, only as a homeless man, no description on him as a person. but of course - lots of information on Chante !?
Mr Ballen, however , describes Gregg's character so well that I almost forgot he was even a homeless man , the description of his optimism and good nature just shined through and became the core representation of him.
The thing I love most about Mr Ballen.. Is his respect ❤️💎
The way that man died has got to be one of the worst ways a human death can go down. Alone in a pitch dark garage, hurt badly, in agonizing pain, and knowing that you've been left for dead while hearing people mill about other parts of the home. I would have less contempt for Chante if Greg had been killed on impact, as bad as it would still be. Putting him through that is unforgivable IMO Greg's son Brandon is a better man than me I guess.
For sure. When a victim is simply described as “homeless” they’re disregarded as non-human

This was so cold-hearted. She had absolutely no care or thought for the injured but alive person she had harmed. She accidentally injured him but she purposefully caused his death. She literally left him to die a slow agonizing death in her garage. She deserves every year of her sentence.
I have no evidence for this but it does make me wonder if it was an accident in the first place or if she deliberately tried to run him over and got a shock when he got stuck in the windscreen instead of her being able to just drive off.
@@jessicataylor7174 That would make it even worse. But hopefully she wasn’t actually trying to hit him. Either way I guess we can’t truly consider it an accident. Even if she wasn’t aiming for him on purpose, it still isn’t a true accident because she chose to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. So either way not a true accident.
@@jessicataylor7174 I don’t think so tbh, cuz why would she call her friend screaming and crying hysterically if she didn’t have any remorse? Her friend made a lot of poor choices too tho! She should’ve asked her to stay the night knowing she was massively intoxicated. And when she saw the guy was still clinging onto life, she could’ve drove him to the hospital while he had the chance. Im assuming the real reason shante didn’t call 911 is cuz she didn’t wanna get charged with manslaughter, wreckless endangerment, DUI, etc cuz all those things combined would be a pretty hefty prison sentence. I think she was so intoxicated that she couldn’t drive or think straight and once she sobered up and came to her senses the next day, it was too late and he was already dead. So now being this deep in, she felt the only way out was to get rid of the body since there was no helping him anymore.
To be clear, I’m not justifying anything she did. I just don’t think any of this was premeditated, it was a combination of mixing drugs w alcohol, being selfish, and VERY poor decision making
@@kayleigh3648 if she had remorse, she would've helped him, not trap him letting him die slowly and painfully
Driving while on heavy drugs is not an accident, its an avoidable risk that she took
I can't express enough appreciation for Mr Ballen introducing Greg Biggs as a father who ended up in tough times due to people exploiting his kindness but despite those hardships, he was eager to fix his life as much as possible just so he can spend more time with his son, as opposed to be just a homeless person who became a "plot point" subject to a manslaughter incident.
100%! That is one of the reasons I think Mr. Ballen is probably one of the greatest story tellers on TH-cam. Little to no corner cutting with research and is always honoring and respectful of the people affected - not glorifying a murder case.
Yes, very well said Glasses. He is compassionit and always respects the victims. It's one thing I really admire John.
He's always extremely kind to the people that are a part of these stories even to the point of some that may NOT be quite so deserving. It's an amazing character virtue, this generosity.
Yes! I heard this story before and only heard of “a homeless man”. Not the person that he was. His home status was irrelevant.
That's a great observation and it made me think. Thank you for your comment!
Now that’s a horrific event but the fact they left him to die a miserable death while they slept for 7 hours is beyond comprehension.all involved should never step outside of prison again
She just didn't want to take responsibility for her actions, and it's a shame that Greg had to suffer because of it.
Thank you for giving Greg Biggs a voice by telling his story. He might have died alone, but so many of us who hear his story and grieve for him.

Never drive drunk.

They made an episode of CSI based on this, too, but they made the victim suicidal, too.
She wasnt only drinking, she was also high on other drugs *X and weed*
Especially not if you're a sociopath
The moment anyone drives under the influence, any sympathy for them goes out of the window. No one gives a shit about them endangering their own lives but they're a danger to others too. They should pass down some legislation that automatically gives the maximum punishment for anyone who kills someone while driving under the influence.
Wow. Greg’s son is a true testament of his father’s character.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be so forgiving. But to paraphrase one Luke Skywalker - I'm an asshole, like my father before me.

Chante is straight evil. The fact that she had all of these resources, and even being medically trained to save people, is disgusting. I bet she would’ve gotten a suspended license and a few months in jail or something just by getting him help. Smh RIP to Greg.
Can you imagine how this would end up if it were racially reversed?! It would be insane....
Think how many patients she would have killed if she'd become a nurse, with that kind of indifference and apathy.

Totally agree. The two men became involved AFTER Greg was dead and received 9 and 10 year sentences. So... One of the two people who could have saved Greg's life walk away scot free. I guess gender does have privilege.

This story has been in my head since it happened. One of those that sticks with you. It’s almost incomprehensible, the choices she made. As a man was moaning in agony in her garage, she decided she would deal with it later.
It’s baffling how this guy is so caring and loving yet no one offered him a place to stay or help when he needed it most
The pure selfishness of it all. She would rather let a man slowly die in agony than to call for medical assistance. She chose to kill him to avoid the risk of identifying herself. The irony is, if she had’ve just done the right thing, he would have survived and she would never have been charged for murder - at the most she would’ve been given manslaughter. Instead, a man is dead and multiple families have been affected.

@@amaraland1 older husband and wife, classic example where you never ever divulge your wealth or saving to strangers.
Well put desiguy55!
It was a husband and wife. The young woman was a neighbor from another state they used to live in and they actually treated her like a grandchild. She shacked up with this piece of garbage and he brought out her garbage side even more. If I remember correctly, the husband had told other people that he got a bad vibe from the guy. The older couple heard movement downstairs, at night, from their office and found some checks missing (they let the younger couple stay a few nights with them). I believe the swine got a third person to help them kidnap the elders, steal their money and take them out to the woods at night. They were buried while they were still alive. The most horrific part for me was reading the medical examiner’s report and the amount of dirt that was in both of their mouths, throats and even lungs. When investigators recovered the bodies, I can’t remember if they were holding hands or cradled together. I do know that it was a hauntingly sweet gesture that showed their love and devotion to one another and the overwhelming need for them to comfort each other at the end. Those killers are pure garbage, not even human.
"If you don't know anything about pay phones..." made me laugh out loud! :-D Someday society will return to the beauty of the phone booth.
I don’t understand how people show “remorse” during trial. If she has any empathy she would have helped him.
The only remorse they're feeling is that they got caught
Sober and had time to think what a terrible thing she had done.Hopefully sje can transform herself and get paroled at some point.From the description of the giy she killed he would prob want her to get a second chance.
Also the fact that she had time to report herself to the police! Someone had to do it or she would've kept on with her life as if nothing happened
Poor Greg, struggling with life in general but feeling optimistic, then he crossed paths with this woman.
Her lack of empathy is horrific. Unimaginable. She and her friend shut the garage door and went elsewhere to sleep.
It is possible to feel both remorse and an extreme sense of self preservation (which is kinda important to anything that lives) which can make someone both regret what has happened and not want to then effectively end their own life by ending up in prison

I remember this case. I was astounded at the complete lack of empathy involved. She just plain didn't want to get in trouble for drunk driving, so instead, she'll spend the bulk of her adult life in prison.
Committed a felony to avoid a misdemeanor.
@@wolfe6220Apparently, she subscribed to the principle summed up in the English proverb, "May as well hang for a sheep as for a lamb."
i love how everyone expresses how they felt but still manages not to spoil the story for the rest
Mefu Mpe- comment just below yours didn't get the assignment 🤦🏻♀️
Why do people read the comments that are discussing the video before watching the video?
I was living in Dallas at the time this crime happened. It was a HUGE story in the DFW area, but there was little mention in the national press. Sadly, one angle the defense (and the media) played at the start was that she was this confused "saintly nurse" while the victim was just a bum whose life was not worth anything, sort of a Healer versus Homeless-the story didn't fly in the courtroom. He was a hardworking decent man who trusted the wrong people in his life; all he wanted was to keep working and improve his life. Such a sad story, all-around. I feel sorry for her family, and for that son to testify his forgiveness proves his dad did leave a positive legacy in this world. Don't do drugs, y'all-when the fun wears off, the outcomes will not be a success. (PS This story was the basis of an episode on the TV show CSI years ago; it was chilling to watch and to know it was true.)
I would have hated to have been her defence lawyer, duty-bound to make her seem innocent and vilifying the dead man
I remember that episode and thought that there was no way someone would do that. The real story is so much worse than the made-up version because the real victim was such a good guy on bad times trying to turn his life around. I think the made-up victim tried to commit suicide by vehicle.
@@sarahotto6006 - that would still be no excuse for her subsequent behaviour
@@franl155 I don't think anybody is arguing that point.

Omfg this story made me mad
I can tell it made Mr. Ballen mad too.
Same.
Exactly...you can hear it in his voice...
RIP Greg
I was thinking that exact same! Seems like what we are hearing is his voice is disgust for this awful true life event. Like whyyyyyyyy?!
I’m mad too. Extremely mad. Mr. Ballen has every right to be mad!
@@cameliathomas9452 That's what I love about Mr Ballen! This atory made me all kinds of mad like you said, and I'm so glad I'm not alone. I mean WTF.
The way his son handled it was beautiful I can tell Greg was a real stand up guy shame he had to pass in such a way I hope him and his family can find some peace
I remember when this happened. It was so shocking and heartbreaking. They always described Greg simply as "a homeless man". It was so infuriating! He was a person, a human being! I will say that he and his exwife did a phenomenal job in raising their son. What a kind-hearted soul.
Why is no one talking about the sheer kindness and compassion Greg's son had...
I just was looking for a comment like this. Now that is a good human being. I'm sorry to say I would have taken the opportunity to tell her what a demon she was and hoped she rotted. I'm sure it's more healing to forgive.
Why does someone in the comments always say this. You said it. You’re talking about it
It moved me to tears, Especially being how young he is!! So mature for his age!! I think he realizes shante prolly didn’t go to police cuz she knew she’d get long prison time for involuntary manslaughter and DUI (if she was sober she prolly would’ve gotten off completely), but when you’re drinking they automatically assume the accident was a direct result of the drinking. Even tho he could’ve been the one to run out in front of her unexpectedly, they would still consider it her fault solely cuz she was drinking... If she was worried about prison, she still could’ve dropped him off at the hospital or a fire station. I’m sure she’ll have learned her lesson after 50 years tho! She’ll be like 70...
@@kayleigh3648 Problem is that's her being selfish and going light on a drunk driver is unbelievable to me. Actions have consequences; she chose to do drugs, drink, and then drive. How people can have sympathy for someone who blatantly put others in danger with their actions like that is beyond me. No one forced her to do those things and her fear of consequences tortured and killed a man.
She hit him when he was on the sidewalk so reckless endangerment and loss of her license would have been the likely outcome if she wasn't drinking. But she drinking and so would have deserved the felony DUI, but I imagine if she had rendered aid and called for help, they would have been lenient on her compared to 50 years. Given that Greg's son forgave her, Greg probably would have as well.
@@PoliceTelephoneBox Right... I’m not saying she SHOULDVE dropped him off in front of the hospital or fire station, but it certainly would’ve been better than doing nothing at all! After I reread my comment, it kinda looks like I was sticking up for her lol. I was just trying to explain WHY she did it cuz a lot of ppl weren’t understanding her motive or reasoning. She was selfish, plain and simple!
What infuriates me the most is that she went off clubbing again (presumably driving intoxicated again) the next week!! 😤 What she did was bad enough, but that should’ve been a VERY BIG wake up call! If u kill someone as a result of u driving intoxicated, why tf would u continue doing it?!? 😡😡😡
Chante should’ve been held accountable for also treating patients while high! This is terrifying. May he rest in peace, poor guy.
She was just a CNA. They don’t handle any medication or important decisions
I'd rather be helped by someone who is unvaccinated than her 😄
I don't think I could forgive someone for being so heartless to one of my loved ones. The greatest thing Greg ever did was to instill in his son the ability to have compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. What a legacy he leaves!!
my heart breaks for that guy, he just needed common human decency. getting him help was the bare minimum :(
Amen.
And she was some kind of a nurse? I can’t imagine that anyone in her care would not of been at risk…. Unbelievably disturbing.
Absolutely not, a nursing assistant vs a registered nurse is apple and oranges. Nursing assistance take a 6 week course. Registered Nurses (RN) have bachelors degrees in nursing attend college/university for 4 years, and those who have an associate degree in nursing go to college/community college for 2 years. Then all nurses are required to pass a state board of nursing to obtain their license to practice nursing in their perspective states. There are also licensed practical nurse (LPN)/licensed vocational nurses (LVN) who attend a community college for 12-18 months and who also must pass a state board examine. A LPN/LVN scope of practice is limited compared to that of a RN. Because of that limited scope of practice, most hospitals in my state do not hire them very often. A nursing assistant assist the nurses and performs most of the unskilled patient care such as taking vital signs, baths, bed making, transport of patients. The women discussed in this video who shamefully hit this man, leaving him in her windshield to die was a nursing assistant and regardless to anyone’s occupation or education level, we all are human beings and should care for one another. I only attempted to point out the marked differences in education preparation , training and scope of practice. A nurse is no more of a doctor just as a nursing assistant is in no way a registered nurse or a licensed vocational nurse, but they all are in the business of taking care of people.
@@caroljackson4093 There are plenty of nurses who have degrees etc and are complete ass holes and psychopaths
Doing a degree doesn't mean you have empathy
Nurse assistant, they have a certificate, some have nothing, nurses have a degree.
Bruce Lee You’ve missed the whole point, Genius. Not only is reading, but comprehension is fundamental as well . There are indeed some “ass holes and psychopaths” in every walk walk of life and in every profession. Boy, bye!!! If you don’t get it, you won’t get it. It was a teachable moment and I seized it and you missed it.
Nurses in general are disgusting people actually... Psychologically i mean
What an incredibly sad story. I'm almost in tears. Brandon has a huge heart just like his dad did. RIP Greg.
This is absolutely horrific! 😢 Thank you for sharing his story
This is definitely the saddest one yet. Greg always tried to stay positive, but he had to die in such a horrible way. May he Rest In Peace.
I remember when this happened. Due to the severity of the crime, and Texas’ “Truth in Sentencing “ she will due 35-50 years. She won’t be paroled in 2027. This was negligent on every level of decency to humanity. She needs to serve the whole sentence. Thanks for reminding me, I’ll be writing a powerful letter to the court to keep her in prison.
Watch "Stuck", you'll love it🙂
@@junetynf is that a movie? Documentary?
@@G-grandma_Army I don´t know but you´ll love it?
Please do Corey!
The entire 5o years, should have gotten life!,, at the very least, no early parole, let her walk out in the agreed 50 years, when she's old and needs a cane to walk out!
Greg was did dirty by this whole fucking world. People seeking peace and serenity in their life often get the opposite tbh
He fell through the cracks and hit every ledge on the way down, poor bastard
Go read _The Idiot_ by Dostoevsky and you’ll have your explanation why.
@@Lobsterwithinternet no one asked for the explanation but tell me your summary?
@@stevej3297 Just a quick summary: Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two women-the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia-both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin’s honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him.
Moral: Good guys that act good in a bad world lose.
@@Lobsterwithinternet true, I like to believe the good people can make it better.
Its truly amazing how different two sides of humanity can be at times, You 3 people on one side who have zero regard for another persons life and and then you have the son who even tho he lost his father because of those 3 animals, he still forgives them and feels empathy for the families,
“If you don’t know how a pay phone works”. That made me feel really old all of a sudden. Another great video. Thanks
Me too!
Kids watching this: “Whoa WTF, that’s a great idea! What games did they have on them?”
Even if you know the gist of pay phones, it's not necessarily obvious that 911 is free of charge. Good to know if you've gone out without a charged phone and quarters!
@@Psyopcyclops Also kids: "How do you even text from these payphones?"
Me too
The sad irony: she would have received a fraction of the punishment if she’d simply called 911 immediately. The man would be alive and she’d be a free person in at most a few years. Smh
Exactly. I know that in Canada the maximum punishment for hurting somebody while driving impaired is 10 years. I imagine is even lower in the States. Had she seek to give him help she would probably just have done a couple of years, considering he would have survived.
Yes, she would have gotten a DUI and even if he did die it would me manslaughter and that is way less severe than a murder charge
Exactly.
Serious Injury by Motor Vehicle Carries a maximum of 15 years in most US states. Still better than 50 lol
Yes, and if she had gotten him help then he could have testified on her behalf which would have made a big difference in sentencing I am sure. They may have even become close friends. So sad for everyone. especially, the gentleman who lost his life.
As a paramedic this story REALLY set me off. Nothing short of instant rage.
You’re beautiful!
A paramedic during these trying times? >_>
Not only the pandemic and all that bidness but I've learned EMT's arent considered essential legally and paid shite with shite hours. You must be doing it for the betterment of humanity.
@@alexcisneros2980 yes, so it’s a state by state basis but I believe only 14/50 recognize EMS as essential. When I was in GA, I started out as an EMT making 9.92/h to run 911 in Savannah which is now considered more dangerous than Atlanta. After I got my Paramedic cert, my pay increased but no where near what I deserved. I stayed there about 4 years so I could gain a ton of experience. Thankfully, I got a job in NC where EMS is considered essential & my quality of life & pay has been so much better. I can tell you 99% of us do it because we really do care & love what we do because the pay has never been it 😂
Well a lot of nurses are sociopathic with a slight god complex hoping to someday land a patient that is rich so she can marry him. It's why women become nurses hoping to strike it rich
Well if you’re that sensitive then maybe find a new job choice lol
The second you described those injuries I knew what happened, but the amount of time he was stuck was truly shocking. May he rest in peace, that is atrocious.
I remember this trial as a child. I remember my uncle saying how some lady hit a man and then left him in her car. I didn’t follow any other details because I was like 12 at the time but hearing how awful this story truly was gives me chills.
I remembered seeing this too when I was about 12/13....at first I felt so bad for her until I heard all off the details
Ok but who cares
@@marcop8875 looks like 153 people so far 🤷♀️😄
there is a good movie with major stars on this story. i think it is called Stuck. or something like that. girl from American Pie who played Heather.-really good movie
@@marcop8875 About you ? I’m not sure but I’m sure there’s someone out there that does. Don’t worry.
She didn't want to get in trouble for hitting somebody so bad that she tried to keep it secret by just letting him die. This is exactly what "I know what you did last summer" is about.
I feel like its the power of the mind, she tought this would ruin her life, and whatever extreme she tought, but the moment she thought that, and made choices according to that thought, is what made her really ruin her life... Sadly if she just faced the consequences, n went to the hospital with him, it wouldnt of ended this bad
Ummmm hmmmmm
I think it Was because it was a DUI accident and she didn't want to loose her license. And maybe the shaming by her family.
Very selfish.
@@anadubar4819 I suspect she is not doing a lot of driving now!
@@anadubar4819 that’s exactly it, she knew that she was getting slammed by the police for what happened and trued to hide the truth even if it meant he’d die and someone else got blamed
You can tell by the way Brandon displayed empathy towards the killer's family that he was raised right by Greg godspeed to all the families.
I wouldn't be so kind
@@davidortiz3094 totally agree since the American justice system is lacking a lot. I go full John wick mode😂

This is why I believe psyche evaluations and drug tests should be mandatory in care and medical fields, the thought of your child, elderly family member or loved one being looked after by people like this is distressing
Every participant in this act is just plain wicked. That Chaunte was only crying for herself. THe son showed way more grace and restraint than anyone who participated in the crime deserved.

I'm starting to rewatch them all now because I can't wait for new videos to come out lol. you are one of the best storytellers I have ever listened too!! hands down
Justin,
Im sorry I know its hurts and your sad, just remember its OKAY to allow yourself & your family to feel those emotions. When I loose someone close it makes me feel better to talk to them so be sure to do that (in your head, out loud, In your home, car, whenever, wherever, and however). Your father will not only hear you he'll be with you in those moments. I know most of us believe that speaking to loved ones who have passed over doesn't began to come close to what we had when they were "with" us but don't be fooled by what your eyes cannot see, now he will ALWAYS be no more than one word or one thought away from being by your side(as you know im sure). So you have your father now as much or more than you've ever had!☺
God bless you and all those who love your father🙏🏾
@@donatomrbones I'm sorry for your loss, bro.
