After 15 years behind bars, the former Friendswood dentist who ran over her husband in a hotel parking lot is a free woman. But there are still certain things she's not allowed to do.



In July 2002, Clara Harris had her teenage stepdaughter with her as she tracked down her husband David Harris to the Nassau Bay Hilton where he was with his mistress. That's when Clara ran over David several times with her Mercedes, killing him.
