if she's telling the truth. The killing was captured on video tape. Shot

step-daughter was in the car when Harris ran over her husband. The
Prosecution plans to call the 17 .year old as a witness.

"We're just trying to get a fair jury.

If convicted, Clara Harris faces life in prison. But the judge told
potential jurors that if they determine Clara Harris acted under the
legal definition of sudden passion, they could consider a sentence of
two to 20 years in prison.
David Harris's parents have been supporting Clara..who has been free on
