Toddler’s Tragic Hot Car Death, Not ‘Planned’ Dad Says

It’s been more than 2 years since the Georgia Dad left his 22 month-old boy for several hours at the backseat of his hot car. The incident led to the child’s tragic death.

Last Monday, Cobb County, GA prosecutors alleged that Justin Ross “planned” his son’s death.

Prosecutors also said the reason why Harris intended to leave his family for perverted purposes. They stated that he wanted to focus on his various sexual relationships with other women. One of the charges against him includes texting sexually graphic messages to a teenage girl.

Also, investigators discovered that he made some various online searches mainly related to babies’ death in hot cars and how to survive imprisonment.

Harris’ lead defense attorney, Maddox Kilgore said that Harris was definitely the one responsible for his son’s death. “What you’re going to see here at this trial is that being responsible is not the same thing as being a criminal,” she added.

Mr. Harris tends to have a fixed routine every day, where he usually dropped off his son at a daycare before heading to work, but unfortunately, he forgot about his son at the backseat of his car.

Harris got very emotional, quietly crying when Kilgore described the tragic death of his son 2 years ago.

Sexual behavior not enough reason for murder

Maddox Kilgore stated: “His sexual behavior isn’t some kind of motive to murder the person he loved more than anyone in the world.”

A video flash in the trial court showing Harris reaction after he saw his son’s dead body in the backseat. The footage featured Harris walking back and forth while screaming.

The prosecution team and defense lawyers are still arguing about the evidence presented.
Meanwhile, Harris will face a life sentence if proven guilty of murdering his young son.
