Georgia man accused in hot car death to appear in court

Cobb County police Det.

Stoddard testified that Harris had online and in-person affairs and wanted to be free of his family.

Police have said the boy was left in an SUV for about seven hours on a day when temperatures in the Atlanta area reached at least into the high 80s. The boy died on June 18.

Those counts deal with charges related to sexting an underage girl on the day of his son’s death.

Harris is a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and moved to Georgia in 2012 to work for Home Depot.

Prosecutors said the sleazy sexts from Justin Ross Harris, 34, point to a motive for why he allegedly left his 22-month-old son Cooper to die outside of his office in June 2014.

Those alleged offenses, a motion from Harris’ defense team states, “are not of a similar character or nature” to the charges of murder and cruelty to children he faces over his son’s death, yet were joined together “for the improper goal of interjecting evidence of bad character” against Harris and violates his right to a fair trial.

Harris’ law firm hunted to separate the last 3 (three) bill, relevant to Harris supposedly receiving and sending sexually particular pictures coming from a 16-year-old wife, out of your hostage-taking and callousness in to little ones additional costs, saying both the groups of bill are different.

The lead case agent says Harris sent 40,000 texts using the Whisper messaging app. Harris’ attorneys, however, argue it was an accident. “He loved his son and all but they both needed escapes”. Harris responded that he misses having time to himself and said his wife gets upset when he goes out with friends.

Harris is facing eight charges, including malice murder, two counts of felony murder, cruelty to children in the first and second degree, criminal attempt to commit a felony and dissemination of harmful materials to minors.
