The San Diego mother of three was convicted in October of murdering her husband, Jason, a high school teacher she claimed had abused and raped her for decades.
Asked why she shot him to death instead of leaving, Harper replied, "Anytime I tried to run from him previously, he would always catch me and overpower me. I just wanted to stop him and you know, unfortunately, this is what happened."
Harper got pregnant after the killing, and claimed it was the result of IVF treatments.
"I felt like I was a good mom for so many years. I had so much love to give another child," she told IE.
