New Evidence May Come in Harris Murder Trial

last seen in September, 2001 with Harris’ estranged wife, Michele, with her disappearance and presumed murder.

Attorney Bruce Barket says a burn pit at property owned by Stacey Stewart turned up charred, bloody scraps of clothing, a knife blade and what appeared to be a clasp from a woman’s purse along with other items.

A State Supreme Court Judge will rule whether the defense can submit the items as evidence in the next trial.  There is no date set for that decision.

Harris was convicted twice with those convictions being overturned and a third trial last year ended in a hung jury.

Jury selection in his next trial begins with Jury selection March 28.

Michele Harris disappeared September 11, 2001 after she had completed work and was going home to the house she still shared with Cal and their children.

The defense had previously claimed Stewart and Michele Harris had sexual relations.
