I'm glad she was found guilty. The spin in her favor that the media was putting on the story was really pissing me off. The system worked for once. I hope she has fun in prison.

What is the stupid idea of "the lady that killed her husband with a Mercedes-Benz"
Why they just don't say with her car. What's the difference if it was a Benz, or Toyota or whatever? She ran over him with her car and killed him. Period!

but she killed him in style
who knows why they emphasised the make of the car. I guess people who drive Benzes are not know for murder unless you are a crack dealer. It goes to show, money can't save you from problems.

Mercedes-benz Recalls Sedans; Cars May Run Over Cheating Husbands
Found this on a web site (borowitzreport.com) and figured you guys would get a kick out of it. --Russ
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MERCEDES-BENZ RECALLS SEDANS; CARS MAY RUN OVER CHEATING HUSBANDS
Houston Auto Faces Possible Murder Charges
Mercedes-Benz today recalled all luxury sedans manufactured since 1999, after company engineers located a defect that makes the cars run over cheating husbands.
“The car’s navigational system, rather than homing in on a street address, pursues the cheating husband of the driver instead,” a company spokesman said.
“Once the sedan has the husband in its sights, it will run over the husband again and again and again,” the spokesman added.
While the Mercedes-Benz spokesman indicated that incidents of a Mercedes sedan wreaking savage revenge on a philandering husband were “rare,” he added, “Even one time is one time too many.”
In Houston, the recall news had a dramatic impact on the murder trial of Clara Harris, as the judge in the case dismissed all charges against the scorned wife and shifted the blame to her Mercedes instead.
“Clearly, this was a case of a good woman driving a bad car,” the judge said.
While prosecutors in Houston mulled the possibility of bringing new murder charges, this time against Mrs. Harris’s Mercedes itself, a lawyer for the car said there was a strong possibility that the sedan would plead insanity.
“This car is not a danger to pedestrians,” the car’s lawyer said. “This car needs help, yes, this car needs our understanding -- but punishment? No."
The Mercedes recall, as well as the recent Oklahoma case in which a Ford Explorer flipped over and crushed a cheating husband, should serve as cautionary tales, says leading automotive criminologist David Duggan of the University of Minnesota.
“If you’re going to cheat on your wife, make sure she drives a subcompact, such as a Mazda Miata,” Dr. Duggan says.

hehe.....I don't think the Mercedes would try to 'home' in on the cheating husband as it knows that it was the husband who liberated, i.e. bought, him from the dealership. 
Also, the car knows that its mostly likely the husband who would improve, i.e. mod, him for the better with wheels, body kits and superchargers.
