Georgia father found guilty in death of son
A Georgia man whose toddler son died in a hot car was found guilty of both malice and felony murder on Monday by a jury tasked with weighing a month of dueling testimony over whether the child’s father left him to perish on purpose or made a fatal mistake.
Soon afterward, investigators found evidence that Harris was having sexual relationships — both online banter and in-person affairs — with numerous women, including a prostitute and a teen.
Harris was also charged with felony murder, which required no proof of intent to kill — just that Cooper died as a result of his father committing the felony of cruelty to children.
Friends and family members, including his ex-wife, testified he was a devoted and loving father.
