Good Evening.
After two days of deliberating, jurors convict Clara Harris of murder.
Prosecutors said it was a clear case of murder-
while the defense argued all along it was all an accident.
Now, as Elizabeth Sanchez reports, the 45-year old dentist could face life in prison, but if jurors find it was a crime of passion that time could be a lot less.

[SUPER=03-Pittsylvania Co./November 14]
The 27-year old was arrested in Durham in November in connection with the beating deaths of Willie and Clara Belle Harston (HARR'-stun).
Generette said he was visiting the Harston's next door neighbor's, Carlot (car lot) Brown, at the time of the murders.
Brown was named as "an accessory after the fact." She invoked her fifth amendment right and refused to testify.
That prompted Pittsylvania County Judge George Jones to dismiss the case for lack of evidence.
