...I see the likes of oj out there and question why we are sending a woman of good character to do 20 yrs in prison while he and his ilk are free..It's this stupid jury system we have here. The gall of these people-- actually expecting a murderer to do prison time. The husband got what he deserved, and then some, and now it's her turn to face the consequences.
To: txradioguy
sure, not saying they don't exist, I just find women who sleep around just for the hell of it rare, and the one's i've known were usually motivated by underlying factors...doesn't make it right, just different motivations..

Don't get on my case for that. Why not?
I'm local to this.
So was the jury which had 9 women.
And I just don't believe that she intended to kill him.
So what? Husband is dead and gone. While Clara can get out of prison in 10 years if she's a good girl. I really don't care much about intent. I care what the criminal did to the victim.
You say she is a "conniving, manipulative murderess". If I could find anyone that knows her that would say the same thing or something similiar I would have posted it.
They saw her good and nice side. David saw her evil side and was killed by this Clara. The one your friends never met.
But instead I post things that I have heard from people that know the woman and her husband. And some folks have been a bit harsh with me. Which does not bother me. It just makes me wonder why I wasted my time trying to clue in some fellow Freepers only to get dissed by some of you.
You may know more, heard more pro-Clara gossip being local

"And I just don't believe that she intended to kill him."
Running him over once is an accident.
Circling around two more times to make sure the job is done equals murder.
Actually having the jusry give her the punishment she deserves....priceless!

Because she committed no crime. Adultery is still a crime in many states, isn't it?
If not, it should be.
To: txradioguy
A lot of the ladies here are sympathetic to this mad woman!

Texas Law! You don't murder someone in Texas! No, you don't, but this wasn't murder, just a killin' and they usually don't draw any jail time.
To: ProudEagle
>>Anyway, if hubby was cheating, why didn't she simply leave? <<
That's my question! When he made a list of her shortcomings, what did she do?
She eagerly set about to make hubby happy by making a self-improvement checklist.
Her self-respect must have been in the toilet. I would have said sayonora. But that's just me.

I've met a few women who had that same self control problem too. Not to mention a load of excusism - and exemption from consequences - ie. "a woman scorned gets to kill with impunity" crap.
To: dennisw
So I see. But as I've stated a couple times on here earlier. I've been in Ms. Harris' shoes. And I can guarentee you that I hurt my cheating ex worse by going to divorce court (in Texas no less) and getting sole custody of our kids and a big chunk of her monthly paycheck for child support.

I'm sure you have all heard the phrase, "Hangin' Judge."
Is there such a thing as a "Hangin' Lawyer?"
George Parnham was the defense attorney for the woman who murdered her five children. He lost that trial.
Now he loses the Clara Harris trial.
Is he possibly a "Hangin' Lawyer?"
Aside: Colombia is Clara Harris' native country. Are Latins more passionate and emotional? More prone to angry outbursts? You better believe it! I have personal experience......sitting about 10 feet away from me. :-)

If that's true, then either she can't see what you're writing or you are a very VERY brave man!

A lot of the ladies here are sympathetic to this mad woman! I am a guy. A native Houstonian. I am sympathetic.
I had two friends whose mothers got S&W divorces when I was in high school, but no one ever suggested putting them in jail for it. I mean other than the DA. I never saw anyone convicted and given time for this in Houston. The whole city has filled up with wuussies and other Yankees.
My family has been in Texas for 180 years. Having the right to kill someone who needed killing is one of the main reasons we moved here.
OK, it was the main reason we had to.
Same thing.
To: Humidston
He was a low life who actually LISTED her shortcomings in comparing her with his mistress, for heaven's sake. On a Bar napkin, no less. Manipulative scumbag got what HE deserved . . .
To: dennisw
And if she felt so shamed and embarrassed by hubby's cheating
It was more like despair for having her family torn apart. I don't condone what she did, but apparently you don't have much problem with what the husband did - if you think the only result of adultery is "shame and embarrassment"
"Thou shalt not commit adultery" wasn't a suggestion, and it wasn't for a light or frivolous reason that G-d said it.
To: mdittmar
Husbands and wives screw around all the time.
You sound like a typical liberal. Adultery? No big deal. Somehow I don't think the author of the Ten Commandments agrees.
