FATHER CONVICTED IN DEATH OF SON LEFT IN HOT SUV
A Georgia man has been convicted in the murder of his son. A jury convicted Justin Ross Harris in the death of his 22-month-old son Cooper. He has been sentenced to serve a life sentence without the possibility of parole. In June 2014, Harris was said to have went to work while forgetting that the child was in the backseat of the vehicle. It was only later that Harris came out and discovered that the boy was unresponsive due to the excessive exposure to heat. Prosecutors said that Harris intentionally killed his son in order to escape the responsibilities of his family.
