Jealousy is a motive for many crimes – especially murder, mostly involving the own life companion. On July 24, 2002, Clara Harris confronted her husband David Harris in a hotel parking lot. She had been notified by the private detective she had hired one week before that David had been meeting with his mistress, Gail Bridges, a receptionist at one of orthodontist practices the Harrises owned. The two had been having a affair for a quite long time. Clara had been suspecting that David was unfaithful and on July 17, 2002, David confirmed her suspicions. Clara insisted that David should end his affair with Bridges and began noting down the differences between her and his mistress. In the following days, Clara hired a personal trainer and planned to get breast implants in hope to save the marriage. David eventually promised her to stop his affair, but nothing could be further from the truth. On July 24, 2002, David told his wife he was going to meet with Bridges to end the affair. Following this, Clara notified the hired private detective about David’s alleged plan – just to make sure if he was being honest. However, instead of meeting with Bridges at a restaurant, David booked a room in the Hilton Hotel in Nassau Bay, Texas, the same hotel he and Clara had married in. Feelings of betrayal and rage surfaced in Clara and she decided to drive with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Lindsey Harris, who sat in the passenger seat the whole time, to the hotel to finally confront David. The conflict between Bridges, David and her escalted quickly and Clara punched David three times, which resulted in her being escorted outside. A few moments later, David came out of the hotel and made his way to the parking lot, not expecting something bad to happen. Clara ultimately snapped at the sight of David and ran over him three times with her silver Mercedes-Benz, while Lindsey sat in her passenger seat, begging her to stop the vehicle. Clara was arrested shortly thereafter and charged with first-degree murder. The crime was caught on video by the private detective she had hired to spy on her husband. The video showed how the vehicle tossed David’s body around. Clara Harris was found guilty of murdering her husband in Ferbruary of 2003 and sentenced to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The jury found that Harris committed a crime of passion. She showed remorse for what she had done throughtout the trial and still continues to do so.
