Left a child in the car ALL day? (by WalkSoftly)
I bet they may find that she is an accessory before, during or after the fact! I mean were was she during this time frame? An why didn't she take the child to daycare?
@Wolf1966: a lot of unusual things were said, like, he won't. Have to suffer through school,wtf does that mean., that they glad he's dead ? And why was she looking up how long it takes for a animal to die in a hot car, I don't get any of that, they may think he's better off but in my book its better to be a live dog than a dead lion, this story really pizzes me off..
@Lionface: completely agree with that. He'll, I'd furnish the bullets myself
@Lionface: Yes all of what the mother said at her sons funeral was contradictary n she sounded more relieved than grief stricken!! I mean if it was my child n my wife had done something lke this I would be ****** off n out for blood!!!
Dad denied bail today....was also sexting women from work while his son was in the car....
"" (CNN) -- Murder and child cruelty charges
against a father whose son died after being
left in a car will go to a grand jury after a
Cobb County judge found probable cause for
the charges Thursday.
Justin Ross Harris was denied bail.
He messaged six women, sending and
receiving explicit texts -- some including nude
images -- from work while his 22-month-old
was dying in a hot car, a detective testified in
the hearing.
Harris' attorney repeatedly objected to Cobb
County, Georgia, police Detective Phil
Stoddard's testimony regarding Harris sexting
the women -- one of whom was 17 -- but the
judge allowed it because it was a probable
cause hearing.
In addition to the charges he faces in
connection with his son's death, Harris may
be charged with felony sexual exploitation of a
minor and misdemeanor illegal contact with a
minor, Stoddard said.
A prosecutor insisted that the testimony
helped portray the defendant's state of mind
and spoke to the negligence angle and helped
establish motive, as his wife told police she
and Harris were having "intimacy problems,"
according to the detective.
Police say Harris, 33, left his
toddler, Cooper, strapped into a car
seat under a baking sun for seven
hours while he went to work.
Records show that the mercury
topped 92 on June 18, and police
say the temperature was 88
degrees when the boy was
pronounced dead in a parking lot
not far from his father's workplace.
Stoddard also recounted witnesses
telling police Harris was acting
erratically when he pulled into a
shopping center asking for
assistance with his son.
Witnesses told police they heard
"squealing tires, and the vehicle
came to a stop," Stoddard testified.
Harris exited the vehicle yelling,
"Oh, my God, what have I done?"
Stoddard said.
The 33-year-old father then stood
there with a blank look on his face,
the detective said. When a witness
told Harris his son needed CPR,
Harris went to the other side of his
vehicle and made a phone call,
apparently to tell someone his son
was dead, a witness told police,
according to Stoddard.
Harris never called 911, and when
an officer told him to get off his
phone, he refused and even said,
"F*** you" before an officer took his
phone and handcuffed him, the
detective said.
Who is Justin Ross Harris?
Witness Leonard Madden said he heard Harris
curse at an officer and tell her to "shut up"
before two officers approached him
"aggressively" and handcuffed him.
Madden didn't detect anything suspicious in
Harris' behavior, he testified. He and an
acquaintance were leaving a restaurant when
they noticed a commotion and approached
within 3 or 4 feet of a clearly distraught
Harris.
"He was crying. He was hollering," Madden
testified, recounting the father saying, "Oh, my
God! Oh, my God, my son is dead!"
"I felt his pain; I even wept," he said.
According to Stoddard, Harris later made
statements that police felt were strange,
including "I can't believe this is happening to
me" and "I'll be charged with a felony." Harris
also talked about losing his job, he said.
The detective alleged that Harris told police he
couldn't reach anyone on his telephone, but
phone records show that Harris made three
calls, and one between him and his employer
lasted six minutes, Stoddard said.
Meanwhile, when the boy's mother, Leanna
Harris, arrived at a day care center to pick the
boy up, employees there told her Cooper had
never been dropped off, the detective said.
"Ross must have left him in the car," she
replied, according to Stoddard. Witnesses said
they tried to tell her many other things could
have happened, but Leanna Harris insisted
that Ross Harris must have left him in the car,
Stoddard said.
The detective also said that when Ross and
Leanna Harris were in an interview room, Ross
Harris told his wife that Cooper looked
"peaceful" and his eyes were closed when he
was removed from the vehicle.
He told his wife, "I dreaded how he would
look," Stoddard said, adding that the boy's
eyes and mouth were not closed when he was
taken out of the SUV.
Ross Harris was scheduled to meet friends for
a 5 p.m. movie, "22 Jump Street," Stoddard
said, but he told them he'd be late. He left
work at 4:16 p.m., and it would have taken
him about 10 minutes to get to the theater,
the detective said.
James Alex Hall, who worked with Ross Harris
and had run a Web development company
with him for the past two or three months,
said Harris didn't act out of the ordinary on
the day his son died.
"I would say normal as you could be. Nothing
stuck out. Nothing was weird," Hall said.
When Harris didn't show up 30
minutes into the movie, Hall
stepped outside to contact him.
Harris didn't respond to texts, and
phone calls went straight to his
voicemail, Hall said.
Asked whether Harris was a guy
who talked about how life might be
without a child, Hall said he was
the opposite: the kind of dad who
talked about his kid to the point
that people were tired of hearing
about it.
"He said he loved his son all the
time," Hall said.
Another friend, Winston Rowell
Milling, said he and his wife had
joined Ross and Leanna Harris for
festivals, picnics, hiking on
Kennesaw Mountain and other
family events, and both parents
seemed to have a loving
relationship with Cooper.
"He loved showing Cooper off to
everybody," Milling said. "He was
always happy. Cooper was always
smiling."
On cross-examination, a prosecutor asked Hall
whether he was aware of allegations that Ross
Harris had been sexting various women. Hall
replied no and conceded that, if that were true,
he didn't know everything about his friend.
Stoddard testified that messages between the
Harrises indicate that the two were having
financial problems. Ross Harris had recently
been passed over for a promotion, and the
couple had two insurance policies on Cooper,
one for $2,000 and one for $25,000, Stoddard
said.
The detective further told the court that he felt
Ross Harris was a flight risk because he had
law enforcement experience and no family in
Georgia. Stoddard also expressed concern that
Ross Harris had a "second life he's living, with
alternate personalities and alternate
personas.""
