David Harris' mom says marriage 'made in heaven'
(Clara Harris murder trial)

Excerpt:

David Harris' mother testified today that the union between her late son and Clara Harris, the woman who killed him, was "a match made in heaven" and that the two were "ideal for each other."

Mildred Harris was one of three members of David Harris' family to take the stand this morning as defense witnesses in Clara Harris' murder trial. She and her husband, Gerald Harris, and their other son, Gerald Harris Jr., painted a picture of a blissful marriage only slightly marred by "controversy."

Both Mildred and Gerald Harris Sr. have shown support in the past by accompanying their daughter-in-law to court.

"David loved her very much," Mildred Harris testified under questioning from defense attorney George Parnham. "In 10 years, I never heard him say a negative thing about her."

Gerald Harris Sr. said he had been talking to his orthdontist son about the affair with office manager Gail Bridges.

"My impression was that they were doing very well early on," the elder Harris said. "They had some controversy, had some difficulties. We had a lot of conversations with them, and they seemed to be making progress."

His son, Gerald Harris Jr. -- a psychology professor at the University of Houston -- drew aggressive questioning from prosecutor Mia Magness on cross-examination after describing Clara Harris as "peaceful and law-abiding."

Magness ran through a litany of actions by Clara Harris leading up to the night of the murder, including trespassing at Bridges' home, vandalizing her car and then attacking Bridges in the lobby of the Nassau Bay Hilton Inn.

Gerald Harris Jr. kept saying he'd "have to know more" about each incident, but stuck to his opinion that Clara Harris was law-abiding.

Clara Harris, who testified two days last week on the death of her orthodontist husband, was expected to take the stand again this morning for redirect examination by defense attorney George Parnham. But so far she has not returned.

It's great when you get to visit Spooky. I know how busy you are with family. We're glad you're here any time.

[dutchess]

Nan and Ohio...in case you missed it, look what I got today!

[Billie]

Excellent job, Dutchess! I see you ignored Billie's advice and did it RIGHT. :)

So nice to see you, T Man. :)

[Billie]

Hope you don't. We've grown accustomed to your flyover. :)

[WVNan]

You know, you have a point there Molly. Time dragged during those looong eight years of the hillbilly trash. OTOH, Dubya's time is flying by.

[Billie]

I never quite pictured you like this, Billie. :)

LOL! Dutchess must have had a camera hidden in Messenger yesterday!

[WVNan]

Glad you dropped by Colleen. Have a snowtastic day.

[Billie]

Hold out your hand, please? :)

[Billie]

Hi, wolfie - she done good, didn't she?

[WVNan]

Hi Gail. Is it snowing in Memphis? We're just getting a few flakes.

[Billie]

Same garden, different view than Saturday? Gorgeous!

[WVNan]

Oh boy! Thank you for sending those Free. As I said, no one will question it if I put those on my bumper. "You are not alone." Sounds religious doesn't it? Is Freeperism a religion?

[Billie]

Yeah, big Whoop de Doo! Stalling, trying to buy some more time - just delaying the inevitable. Bye, Saddam!

[WVNan]

I'm almost caught up dutchess. I'm hurrying.

[WVNan]

Oh wow, that would be great. We're planning another lunch in the spring, Colleen. Maybe we can coordinate it with your visit.

[Billie]

Hi, nan - darling bluebird!!! Be back in a bit.

Hi, Julie - I love the W 04 stuff!
