From "The Houston Chronicle" article

"Charline R. Thompson, 58 West Houston: Ms. Harris had a fair trial. The jurors completed the difficult task of deciding her guilt or innocence. After having been a juror on a murder trial years ago, I understand the dilemma each of the jurors faced. Deciding whether one lives, dies or is incarcerated for life is an extremely hard choice to make. Ms. Harris could not handle "to love and to lose." A cheating spouse can often damage one's self-esteem, thereby distorting their thinking, which many times results in acts of violence. It is unfortunate that Ms. Harris was forced to resort to such deadly measures. She was attempting to protect and preserve her marriage. However, there are consequences for murder

Jeepers...talk about double speak & justifing. Ms. Harris was "forced to...such deadly measures." I think not! Glad this woman wasn't on the jury! Oh yeah, and "attempting to protect and preserve her marriage"...is one tried and true way of doing that. /sarcasm off.
