Justin Ross Harris’s Hot-Car Death Of His 22-Month-Old Son Case

The 42 years old Justin Ross Harris last year’s decision nullified a sentence of life in imprisonment but it was conveyed to a 12-year sentence, which Harris still is serving, for other charges he was convicted of in his 2016 trial. The Cobb County district attorney’s office said in a news release said that the decision is to not Harris retry and was reached after a thorough review of the entire case file.

According to New York Times news that the motive ruling of the Supreme Court prevents the state from using the motivation of evidence that was initially permitted in the 2016 trial. After careful consideration and deliberation, Supreme Court has made the difficult decision to not retry Justin Ross Harris on the reversed counts of the indictment.

Cooper Harris’ son died in June 2014, after being strapped inside Harris’ car for seven hours on a hot day, while his father went to work.

Harris was happy to know that he won’t be retried and thankful that it was dismissed and may begin to restore Cooper’s legacy as a child much loved by his parents one of his attorneys said Thursday.

Cooper’s Death Was Accidental And Therefore Not A Crime

Justin Ross Harris had always accepted the moral responsibility for his son Cooper’s death. However, after all these years of investigation and review, this dismissal of charges proves that Cooper’s death was unintentional and therefore not a crime, Harris’s attorney Carlos Rodriguez claimed.

Throughout the course of representing Justin Ross Harris, we have learned that these tragic accidents often happen while the child is in the care of a loving parent. Ross was no different,” Rodriguez said.
