Clara Harris was sentenced to a twenty-years after presenting a heat of passion defense.

Her appeal includes:

On July 24, 2002, appellant was notified by a private investigator, whom appellant had hired, that her husband, the complainant David Harris, and Gail Bridges had checked into the Nassau Bay Hilton Hotel. Shortly thereafter, appellant and her step-daughter, Lindsey Harris, drove to the hotel. The person at the front desk told them that neither David Harris nor Bridges was registered with the hotel. Appellant and Lindsey walked to the parking lot and found Bridges s Navigator. Appellant scratched the Navigator with a key, ripped the rear-window wiper off and bent the front window wipers. Appellant and Lindsey each called the complainant on his cell phone and told him that one of his children was ill. They waited near the hotel entrance until they saw the complainant and Bridges leave a hotel elevator holding hands. Appellant confronted Bridges and a struggle ensued in the hotel lobby between the two women. Hotel employees broke up the fight and escorted the parties to their vehicles.

After getting into her car, a Mercedes S430, appellant, with Lindsey in the passenger seat, backed out and then accelerated, squealing her tires, and proceeded to the back parking lot area where the complainant s and Bridges cars were parked. Appellant drove toward Bridges Navigator, approaching the rear of the Navigator from the passenger side, and then made a right turn into the open parking space next to the Navigator on the driver s side. Appellant s car struck the side of the Navigator at the rear and damaged the right side of appellant s car. The driver s door of the Navigator was open, and Bridges was standing inside the door. The complainant was standing to the left of the door in the empty parking space, although his exact location is unknown, and appellant struck the complainant with her car. Either the complainant became airborne or his body was carried on the hood of the Mercedes as appellant drove over two curbed, grassy medians that separated the rows of parking spaces. The complainant s body landed or was deposited on the paved area of the parking lot next to the second grassy median approximately 65 feet from where he had first been hit, and appellant drove over the body. At the time of the incident, the parking lot was nearly empty.

Too many women when faced with the "competition" of another woman, choose to engage. Better to walk away from a cheater then trying to win. The prize is no prize at all, a loser who lies and cheats. Use this as your example of what not to do.
