On July 18, the day after he confessed to sleeping with Bridges, David Harris and his wife spent an evening at a Houston airport bar going over the attributes and liabilities of each woman in exacting detail. Clara Harris took notes on bar napkins, which were introduced into evidence. While Clara Harris might have had a slight edge in appearance and intelligence, he said his adulterous lover was a better listener.
The napkins revealed Friday that David Harris thought his wife was overweight, "dominated conversations without letting anyone else talk" and was a workaholic, all in contrast to Bridges, whom he described as "petite with the perfect fit to sleep with, holding her all night."
According to Clara Harris' notes, David Harris seemed fixated on Bridges' breast size, though he gave his wife higher marks for "much prettier hands and feet" and "prettier eyes" as he compared the women in exacting detail.
"He told me, 'I would love you when you get your boobs to just be around the house waiting for me,"' Clara Harris said.
Sounds like they are going for the "he needed killin'" defense.

Sure took her a while to "snap out of it" while her daughter sat next to her when she ran him over three times and then parked on his dead carcass. She obviously is going for manslaughter using "heat of passion" as her mitigating factor, looking for sympathy posing as the "poor little abused woman." Judging from reactions here, that still works in this day and age no matter what a female does. Basically, the poor sweet unassuming little thing just couldn't control all those awful feelings he inflicted on her, right?
The big problem for her is that the only evidence of abuse is her "recollection." She also sounds like a shrew in general and a clever defense would introduce evidence of that. I doubt the jury will buy it, at least completely, but stranger things have happened. The prosecutor sounds incompetent, unfortunately, which sadly is often the case.

David Harris and his wife spent an evening at a Houston airport bar going over the attributes and liabilities of each woman in exacting detail. More unbelieveable than this heartless, cruel cad is that this woman actually particpated in this "examination."
I would have spit in his eye and charged adultary in the divorce complaint

"He told me, 'I would love you when you get your boobs to just be around the house waiting for me,"' Clara Harris said. I think this makes her sound even more guilty ---any woman who would stay around after being told this is pathetic. I don't think OJ Simpson should have gotten off and neither should Clara Harris.

I think she was concerned about global warming and the SUV he was driving infuriated her. /sarcasm

I don't think a woman on the jury would convict her for running down her husband, the jerk.
The problem is that she turned around and ran over him again, even though his daughter was in her car. That might prove too much for even for texans.

but her husband moved left, toward her approaching Mercedes. Did he throw himself in front of her car all three times?
