TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors have decided not to retry Justin Ross Harris, a Georgia father whose son died after he left him in a hot car, effectively ending the case against him nearly a year after the Georgia Supreme Court overturned his conviction on charges of malice murder and child cruelty. The decision came after prosecutors conducted a thorough review of the case and found that crucial motive evidence that was admitted at the first trial in 2016 is no longer available to the state. Harris remains convicted on other charges related to his sexual activities.
