Justin Ross Harris cleared of retrial in son's hot-car death.

Justin Ross Harris, a Georgia father, will not face another trial over his toddler's death in a hot car, after the Georgia Supreme Court last year reversed his murder and child cruelty convictions. Harris was found guilty in November 2016 on eight counts including malice murder in the June 2014 death of his 22-month-old son, Cooper. The state Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn his murder and child cruelty convictions last June, saying the jury saw evidence that was "extremely and unfairly prejudicial." Prosecutors said crucial evidence about Harris' motive is no longer available for them to use.

Father cleared of murder charge in son's hot car death won't be retried

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.

Justin Ross Harris cleared of charges in son's hot car death.

Justin Ross Harris, who left his 22-month-old son to die in his hot SUV, will not be retried for murder after his charges were dismissed by the Cobb County District Attorney's Office. The decision was made due to a ruling by the Georgia Supreme Court which overturned Harris's murder conviction and limited evidence in the state's case. Harris is still convicted of exchanging graphic text messages with an underage girl and has been in custody since 2014.
