I have a son who is 27 months old. There is no way he could be left in the car. He can scream very loud.
Why even have juries if they’re not allowed to know anything?
There are few more horrible ways to die than to be literally roasted alive in a hot car. Good Lord how that poor child suffered.
This low life son of a bitch should be hung with piano wire from a meat hook.
This is insane….
It is a fundamental principle of evidence law that evidence of other bad acts is inadmissible. A defendant must be convicted on evidence he committed the crime charged. The judge screwed up.
at this rate, by 2024 they’ll be freeing the Manson family members and putting Sharon Tate’s sister in prison in their place!
I don’t see what was unfair about it. Clearly it had to do with motive; he was worried about child support if he divorced.
Evidence of cheating seems relevant if you are trying to show he left the kid in the car on purpose.
My youngest turns 31 on Saturday so perhaps I don’t have a valuable opinion but just how does one forget a child in a car? I’m not being critical but, assuming no chemical impairment, how do you forget your child? When I was driving little ones they were always, first and foremost, what I was doing
I’m old, maybe I just don’t get it.
“Prosecutors had highlighted Harris’ frequent affairs and sex crimes showed he was unhappy in his marriage and intentionally killed his son to free himself.”
Not defending the guy, but the claim above is quite a stretch. If the prosecutors had said that it was a distraction that led to his son’s death, then I think it’s ok to let the jury know.
Eligible for another trial, won’t the next jury already know what they’re saying was inadmissible?
Seems a bit wasteful of the court’s time to me.
Sorry, I agree that he should get a new trial.
The prosecution overreached with the “murder” charge.
His pathetic sexual behavior should NOT have been allowed at trial.
Retry him for something (manslaughter) that they can get a legitimate conviction on, sentence him to the MAX, and let prison kill him.
Some lifer will get justice for the little baby.
“Father, 41, sentenced to life in prison for 2014 hot car death of his baby son...”
Sorry, misuse of the word “father”.
Should have read “sperm donor”, 41, sentenced to life in prison for 2014 hot car death of his baby son.
So much for juries getting to hear the WHOLE truth.
Justin Ross Harris, 41, was sentenced to life in prison for the death of his 22-month-old son, Cooper, who died in 2014 after being left in a hot car for seven hours.
Leaving his toddler in a hot car for seven hours !!!!
Who cares if he was sexting some hottie? This was a heinous crime.
>> was sentenced to life in prison for the death of his 22-month-old son
Life for manslaughter/negligence?
Curious how many pro-aborts think a life sentence is justified.
