Content Warning: Suicide ideation
On the night of March 10th, 1980, Dr. Herman Tarnower, best-selling author and one of America’s most respected cardiologists, was shot in his own home. His long-time companion, Jean Harris, met police at the house demanding medical attention for Dr. Tarnower while also admitting SHE was the shooter. This seemingly open-and-shut case turned into a complicated story of love, betrayal, addiction, and redemption.
