TL;DR Summary

The Cobb County D.A. has announced that they will not retry Ross Harris, who was initially convicted of intentionally leaving his son in a hot car for seven hours in 2014, which led to his death. Harris' ex-wife, Leanna Harris Taylor, said the news is closure for her and she can now focus on keeping her son's memory alive. The Georgia Supreme Court overturned the murder and child cruelty convictions against Harris last summer, saying that evidence of his affairs should not have been admissible in court. The D.A. cited the unavailability of "motive evidence" used during the first trial as the reason for not retrying Harris.
