Father Charged In Death Of Son After Leaving Him In Car For 7 Hours


 

Justin Ross Harris 33, of Marietta, Georgia has been charged with the death of his infant son after leaving him in the back  seat of his car while he was at work in the corporate office of Home Depot for approximately 7 hours.

First reports included information that indicated he forgot the child was strapped into his car seat and that he forgot that he was back there and that he went to work as normal, and didn't realize the child, Cooper Mills Harris, needed to be taken to daycare. This would be impossible since reports show he took the child to breakfast at Chick-Fil-A before he went to work.

But later, during his lunch hour officers and security tape saw him going to his vehicle during the day and putting something inside, and closing the door. Harris is in custody without bail as the investigation is ongoing.

This is all over the news here as this town is just a couple of hours from me. People here are very split... he has many supporters, and many detractors. I personally don't see how you can take your kid to breakfast ans then 10 mins later forget he's in the car. But, maybe that's just me.

From CBS Crime Sider: A judge has ruled that she will not try charges that a man accused in the death of his son had inappropriate online exchanges with an underage girl separately from murder charges against him.

Allegations that Harris had online exchanges with an underage girl of a sexually explicit nature are completely unrelated to the murder and child cruelty charges he faces in the death of his 22 month old son, Cooper.

Harris was indicted in September 2014 on multiple charges, including malice murder, felony murder and cruelty to children. The eight-count indictment also includes charges related to accusations that Harris tried to get an underage girl to send him a photo of her genitalia, had sexually explicit online conversations with her and sent her a sexually explicit photo.

Harris has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers have repeatedly said the toddler's death was a tragic mistake.

From CNN: Justin Ross Harris, who faces murder charges in the death of his 1 year old son, Cooper, will not see a separate trial on allegations that he sexted with minors. Defense attorney H. Maddox Kilgore said that while he didn't believe the charges had anything to do with the death of Harris's son, it does help establish motive.

According to interviews given the day Harris was taken into custody, Harris had approximately 6 conversations with women or girls via text apps, some communications explicit and sexual in nature.

Cobb County Phil Stoddard has taken the stand in the past and testified that Harris admitted to one minor that he had cheated on his wife and described himself as "a sex addict." Stoddard and Kilgore concurred that Harris had requested images of the genitalia of one minor,and found evidence of child pornography on his phone.

Harris faces charges of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, first degree cruelty to children, second degree cruelty to children,criminal attempt to commit a felony (sexual exploitation of a minor), and two counts of dissemination of harmful material to minors.

Here's a good piece from CNN.com about the case against Justin Ross Harris, the man accused of killing his son by leaving him in a hot car while he was at work at the corporate office of Home Depot. 

While I haven't seen this exact piece most of the information has been published on other news sites. The couple of things I haven't seen is that his wife, the mother of 22 month Cooper, has filed for divorce, and that the defense team has asked for a change of venue, saying that an impartial venue can not be found in Cobb County.

I was channel surfing and I landed on HLN's Nancy Grace and she was covering this trial. She's going to stroke herself out if she doesn't get the drama under control. The eyeball rolling alone is enough to make me go hardcore insane.

Anyway, it's rough stuff if you believe the prosecution team. They make this guy out to be a sexual deviant with a penchant for the younger ladies and that he's pretty much faked his way through any and all reactionary behavior. I know everyone grieves differently but his on the spot behavior is implied by CNN as "faked" and they aren't the only ones. Here's a couple of links for you. I believe I also saw the hurricane is causing some trial delay so I'll try and keep up for y'all.

Taking the stand today [Friday 10-14-16] an escort by the name of Daniela Doerr testified that on 3 occasions had sex with the defendant, Justin Ross Harris who is on trial for the death of his 22 month old son Cooper. Prosecutors say he left his son in a hot car to die while he was inside his workplace to escape his responsibilities as a father and conduct liasons with prostitutes and women other than his wife.

According to this article there was one underage girl he exchanged texts with but he never has a relationship with and no physical contact.

Defense attorneys argue that while Harris is responsible for the child's death, it was a tragic accident. Defense Attorney Maddox Killgore stated that although Harris had committed many "sexual sins" he was not a criminal, and that Harris's former wife [mother of the child] would agree that Harris was a wonderful father.

If convicted, Harris faces life in prison. Here's your link.

Here's two links from the ongoing trial of Justin Ross Harris who is being tried for the death of his 22 month old son Cooper who died in his car in 2014.

First link details the testimony of 4 young women who had relationships of one variety or another with Harris and testified in detail as to the nature of the relationship. I know nobody's perfect but damn dude. Even with some of my shady nonsense you've got me beat by long shot.And I mean A LONG SHOT. If you're reading this and being all judgemental, knock it off. You've probably done something you don't want aired in a court of law.

The second link is testimony from a heat expert who measured temperatures in the car and how long the little boy could have survived. It made me want to cry. Poor baby.

Here's your links.

A bit of video from the trial of Justin Ross Harris from the folks at Wochit/MSN. I find it kind of...damning that even if they aren't going to try him on charges related to his sexual conduct with a minor [or minors] they are really running that into the ground. My guess is they want to do a hatchet job on him and just make him look as bad as they can.

I don't think it's gonna take much. Have a good weekend. Here's your linky.

After being found guilty of the hot car death of his toddler son, Justin Ross Harris was sentanced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Here's where it gets tricky he gets sentanced to a slew of other charges for the sexting he did with that minor while his child was in that car.

I didn't realize they could sentance him like that but I guess they can just knock it out of the park. Not sure if the jury had a recomendation as to his sentance. I'd love to hear that, but this was done by a judge. What a horrible crime. Very sad indeed.

RIP Cooper
