Mercedes murder weapon

If you decide to cheat hide the keys to the benz, this guy probably wished he did....

Wife Made Car a 'Murder Weapon,' Prosecutor Says
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 1:29 p.m. ET

HOUSTON (AP) -- When a woman found her husband cheating on her, she ran him over with her Mercedes-Benz and ``turned her $70,000 vehicle into a 4,000-pound murder weapon,'' prosecutors said in court Thursday.

Clara Harris ``hit him again and again and again,'' prosecutor Mia Magness told jurors during opening statements at Harris' murder trial.

Her defense attorney described the 44-year-old Houston dentist as a woman who only wanted to keep her family together but ``loses it'' after going to the hotel where she married David Harris and finding him with a mistress.

Clara Harris is accused of killing her husband, also 44, in the hotel parking lot July 24 after confronting him and another woman in the building lobby.

Magness said Clara Harris gave her husband an ultimatum, ordering him to choose between her and his mistress, Gail Bridges. When he chose Bridges, Magness said, she got into her car and purposely ran him down.

Parnham said Harris was a loving mother and devoted wife who wanted her husband to come home but was heartbroken after finding out he had misled her and would not end his affair.

Maybe it was a W140.

If it wasn't the benz, then she would have "shot him, again & again" or "stabbed him again & again" or "clubbed him again & again"...

...nothing like the wrath of a woman scorned!

The wife/assailant had her 17 year old daughter in the Benz with her at the time of the attack. I guess she was schooling her in the finer points of road kill.

True!
But shoot me, stab me, or run me over with another vehicle, but don't run me over with my Benz. Not the Benz.

Hence the again and again. A W140 would do it in one pass.

sixto,
I have heard of pride in a particular body style but please be reasonable in your acclaim.

Did forget to qualify that if it were a W140 Diesel...

An S420 weighs about 500lb more than an S430. Figure that into it's potential.

A mercedes is an inanimate object and therefore must respond to logic and reason.
