I think she should be released by now. It’s high time. David was at fault to break the vows he made to Clara. But this lady should have taken a much wise decision to divorce that stupid man. He was playing with two women’ emotions. People become emotional fool in love I think. They should be practical.I feel really bad for her, though I think she did kill him knowingly. But we can’t even imagine the state of mind she would have been through…I hope she finds peace and happiness whenever she gets released. Loyalty is a very important thing in relationships. By the way I really don’t feel sorry for that man getting killed.

Every now and then, I Google to see if anything new has happened w/Clara Harris. I lived in Houston when this happened. I distinctly remember where I was when I learned she’d received 20 years in prison; gas station newspaper rack. I felt sick for her and for her children.. I make no apology for the fact I don’t have any empathy for David. He married a ColOmbian. (Emphasis on the O, as so many misspell it.) They tend to be very passionate people (hate away, my first boyfriend, college, was Colombian). Clara was the successful one in this union, Clara was the driver, the one to work her tuchus off so that they might get ahead (based on everything I’ve read). David was content to do just-enough, it seems. Clara was the one to put a pencil to paper, working out their next steps, how they might prosper and expand. I think any woman who deeply loves her man (as did Clara) could snap in such a situation. Imagine….this toupee-wearing jerk is exiting an elevator with his (beyond slutty) mistress-of-the-bolt-ons. You are there with his child (the one he only took an interest in upon your urging) from a previous relationship. You are heart-broken, crazy and he sides with mistress-of-the-bolt-ons (with small feet and zero fat, as he’d elaborated to you). All that’s to say I root for Clara Harris. He was a puny little fool. She was a passionate, driven, loving woman who deserved better. Should she have left him, taken it all? Of course. But, we aren’t always rationale. I look forward to the day I Google ‘Clara Harris’ to see she’s been released. I also hope to see any news of Gail Bridges, that she’s (oh, I don’t know) in a flop house, destitute.

I place the blame for this whole tragedy squarely on Gail Bridges. It’s no wonder she is won’t show her face in public: she has a guilty conscience and she should. She needs to apologize for what she did.

Clara is a gentle and kind woman. She is up for parole and she will not re-offend, and since prison is supposed to rehabilitate there is no reason she shouldn’t be getting out. I hope she does.

In reply to Kathie Morgan. It's definitely a tough case, Kathie. I have a lot of empathy for her. Thanks for stopping by!

I remember this happening! I say good for her for running the creep down. I made her feel bad about herself and he deserved what he got. Just wished he had lived with some of disability (like no penis).

In reply to Tiffany A White. Thank you! Yes, I'd heard the story before but it's never ceased to amaze me. And disturb me as far as how much I could understand where she was coming from.

I have heard this story many, many times. I also don’t condone what Clara did, but have I wondered what it would feel like to get revenge this way? Who hasn’t? Now, I wouldn’t….. Another great True Crime post, Stacy!

In reply to Liz. Thanks, Liz. True about the mistress, although I can't feel too much sympathy for her since she knew he was married. And no, it definitely doesn't qualify what she did. Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll definitely check it out!
