Convict freed on OR kills wife

Curtis Bernard Harris had pleaded no contest to possessing a firearm after kidnapping his estranged wife, but was freed without bail on Dec. 21 pending his formal sentencing to 16 months in prison. One of the conditions was that he not contact his wife. Over the weekend, say police, he kidnapped Monica Harris again. She and her ex turned up shot to death in a Whittier motel. The judge who freed Harris is Superior Court Judge Tia Fisher.
