20 years!!! Now she'll be appealing for years with the money of the husband she killed.

According to Fox, she will serve at least 10 years!

[iamright]

I hope not. The kids need and deserve anything the family owned.

Nearly every state prohibits a murderer from inheriting money from the estate of the one she killed. Same goes for any insurance money.

Nope, I'm pretty sure the money was attached right away to go to the kids. I think this is a pretty fair sentence. It fits the 'crime of passion' definition to a T, still, you can't murder and get away with it. If she can learn to control her temper in prison she will be out fairly quickly. If she can't she will be there a long long time.

excuse me....she's a doctor herself ...she has her own money...

think it is a very bad day for "justice"..

"justice" meaning doing the right thing which is not always legal "justice"..

for example....shouldn't the woman who caused all of this be on trial as well?...should the victim who purportedly mentally abused his wife and cheated on her and the family, perhaps his "estate" should pay a fine...

finding your scum husband in the clutches of his scum home-wrecker would send most people over the edge..

when she went there..she did not intend to do harm, at least not fatal harm...remember , she had a passenger that day...

so , flame me is you want...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..

that attorney for her was a total and complete failure at sentencing...he actually brought up the fact that the boys would lose two parents if Clara went to prison, even though it was Clara who got rid of the other parent...

why would he ever be hired again is beyond me...

afterall, he had the family of the slain man in the palm of his hand, and he still couldn't get the jury to give less than 20 yrs...unbelievable....

I'm surprised that she didn't get sympathy because she is recently widowed! (See Mendez Bros.)

her actions were justified.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

She'll do 12 or 15 years before she is paroled. I think she had this sentence coming but I sure can understand how she could have gone nuts over the betrayal of her slimy husband. Sheer blinding rage. People who screw around with other's emotions are asking for it.

Remember the New England school mistress who shot the diet doctor? He certainly was playing with emotional fire and got what he deserved, but she did a lot of time and taught educational classes while in prison. Got her released early.

It wasn't all his money. Both were dentists, and she owned 51% of their dental office business, they had five or six offices. One was here in Lake Jackson, Texas. But she did the crime, on video even, and now must do the time. 9 women on that jury were not convinced by Clara.
