Stay tuned for the next episode of...'As the World Turns'…

Defendant Clara Harris reacts as she
testifies about her husband's affair.

Associated Press photos 2-10-2003 Defense lawyers for murder defendant Clara Harris, right, rested their case today after her mother-in-law, Mildred Harris, left, testified that the woman who drove over her son with a Mercedes-Benz is still "like a daughter." Prosecutors, however, immediately called an Houston police officer to the stand to rebut her lawyers' claims that David Harris was hit only once.

If my brother's wife were to kill him, I might not sing praises of him on the witness stand, but I'll be damned if I'd sing praises of the person who ran him down as many as three times. What the hell are these people thinking?

We are constantly told that men shouldn't touch women in anger. Now you have someone actually trying to make the case that he did wrong things, and so she isn't to be blamed for running him down, turning around an running him down again, and by some report turning around and running him down again.

I know how this case would turn out if it were a man who had run over his wife and brutally killed her. I just hope this case turns out the same way.

Fry this bi-ch, despite what the diceased's loving family says.

Officer says marks on Mercedes show David Harris run over at least twice

But she says she is 'doubly sorry.'

Doesn't that help?

The deceased's mom at the trial of his killer.  Isn't this a solemn event in her mind? There be no levity in my demeanor at the trial of someone who killed my son. This is a remarkable photo.

And aren't these the perfect images of someone remorseful with regard to the outcome of their "accidental" actions?

These must be the photos of an old Twilight Zone episode.  They sure don't bear resemblance of a reality I'd contemplate in conjunction with this case.

This case has been bizarre from the beginning with the, what was it, $30k bail for mowing a guy down. The picture of the mother-in-law grinning like she just won the lottery at the trial of the undisputed murderess just confounds me.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, actually no. ;)

Let's see.... he was screwing around and he dented her Mercedes. Sounds like justified homocide (hetrocide?) in Texas to me.

[MeekOneGOP]

My opinion, worthy of the '2 cents' variety, is that she will be found guilty. Death penalty isn't in play, though.

Just fyi. I posted the update from the previous thread...

Apparently there was a case here in Texas a few years ago in which a man who killed his wife after catching her cheating got off with probation.

It sure has. I am (belatedly) starting a ping list for this story until final sentencing.

To anyone that might want on let me know...

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the link. Yep, looks like an accident to me. (NOT) I still think she should fry. Good gravy, if this isn't premeditated what would be?

Thank you for that link. Amazing. Look, you may hate your spouse folks, but don't beat the carp out of them or kill them. Leave them. I am amazed what juries are doing these days.

[DoughtyOne]

Seems to me that if the wife gets off, the daughter of the deceased should just run her down. Hey, how bad could it be?

[MeekOneGOP]

You're welcomed.

'Crime of passion' I guess. She sure would have been better off if she'd used that car to drive to divorce court instead. And so would he...and if he were alive today, the 'dearly departed' would agree, I'm sure.

He was no poster boy/candidate for 'husband of the year', no doubt. But she killed him, this is Texas, and she should pay, imho. There are 9 women on the jury. Some say that's an advantage for her, but I'm not so sure. We shall see...

Great pics, FRiend. Thanks !...

[DoughtyOne]

The guy may not have been a great husband, but it is also possible this was a maniplative ice-maiden gold-digger.

It will be interesting to see how this comes out.

[MeekOneGOP]

Wow. Thanks for that link. Interesting and very pertinent...
