Clara Harris denied parole in husband's death
Clara Harris, the Friendswood dentist who made national headlines a decade ago after she ran over her cheating husband, will spend at least another two years behind bars after her bid for early release was turned down Thursday.
"I was extremely disappointed when I heard she was denied parole," said Emily Detoto, Harris' former attorney and now close friend.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles made the decision Thursday, citing the nature of the offense as the reason.
"The record indicates that the inmate committed one or more violent criminal acts indicating a conscious disregard for the lives, safety or property of others; or the instant offense of pattern of criminal activity has elements of brutality, violence or conscious selection of victim's vulnerability such that the inmate poses a continuing threat to public safety; or the records indicates use of a weapon," according to a release from the parole board.
