Harris' Lover Testifies About Relationship
Bridges Thought Marriage Was 'Open'
However, Magness blistered Radelat on cross-examination, noting his 40 years of expertise primarily was not in forensic pathology, the study of deaths by unnatural means.
Radelat relented that the number of times David Harris was struck "was an area where reasonable minds can disagree."
If convicted, Harris could face up to life in prison. But if jurors decide she acted as a result of sudden passion, she could get between two to 20 years behind bars or probation.
Sudden passion is legally defined as the following:
- Accused was provoked by the victim
- Crime happened at the time of the offense
- Provocation made an ordinary person so enraged that he or she was incapable of cool reflection
