Georgia man found guilty of murder in toddler son’s hot-car death

A jury of six men and six women began weighing evidence last Tuesday morning, after the month-long trial of Justin Ross Harris, 35.

Jurors on Monday found a father guilty of killing his toddler son by intentionally leaving him in a hot auto.

Justin Ross Harris has been found guilty on all charges after being accused of leaving his child in a hot vehicle to die back in June 2014.

“We find the defendant guilty this 14th day of November, 2016”, a jury foreman declared. ABC News reported that defense attorney Maddox Kilgore said Harris was “not guilty” of anything he was convicted of.

As CNN reported, Harris, 35, was accused of intentionally locking his son in a hot auto for seven hours.

Cooper Harris, 22 months old, died in the back of his father’s SUV on June 18, 2014.

Verdict read in Justin Ross Harris trial.

Justin Ross Harris leaves court after being found guilty.

Harris murdered his son, Boring continued, so “he doesn’t have to worry about his child anymore”.

Harris is scheduled to be sentenced December 5, according to ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV.

Officials at the Cobb County Department of Public Safety said temperatures hit 92 degrees Fahrenheit the day of Cooper’s death.

Harris told police he didn’t notice Cooper until he left work for the day to go to a movie.

Harris was pursuing sexual affairs outside his marriage, prosecutors said.

Another issue that could likely be raised is with regards to a 3D rendering of the inside of Harris’ vehicle, complete with a recreation of Cooper’s auto seat with an image of a child inside.

Court prosecutors argued Harris could not have forgotten about his son because, after strapping him in, it took him less than two minutes to drive to work.

Surveillance video presented by prosecutors showed Harris standing by the vehicle after his lunch break and throwing light bulbs into the auto.
