Trial spotlight on Tarnower murder case and rival’s testimony
In White Plains, prosecutors seek to invalidate Jean Harris's account as the key trial unfolds in its 12th week. They focus on the so called Scarsdale Letter and a crucial telephone exchange with Lynne Tryforos, aiming to rebut Harris while presenting Tryforos as Tarnower’s favored partner. Harris maintains she intended death by suicide during a visit to Tarnower’s home, while the defense portrays Tarnower as a controlling philanderer.
