Georgia father freed from prison 10 years after his toddler died in hot car

FILE - Justin Ross Harris listens during his trial at the Glynn County Courthouse, Oct. 3, 2016, in Brunswick, Ga. Georgia prison records show Harris was released from Macon State Prison on Father's Day, Sunday, June 16, 2024, 10 years after his toddler died in a hot car , a case that made global headlines after prosecutors accused him of murder.

After he was released from the prison system, he was booked into Cobb County's jail later Sunday, jail records show. He could serve the remaining two years of his sentences in the county jail, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. At trial, prosecutors put forth a theory that Harris was miserable in his marriage and killed his son so he could be free. They presented evidence of his extramarital sexual activities, including exchanging sexually explicit messages and graphic photos with women and girls and meeting some of them for sex.

Prosecutors said at the time that he would not face another trial over Cooper's death. The Cobb County district attorney’s office, which prosecuted the case, said in a statement that it disagreed with the majority’s decision. But because of that ruling, prosecutors said crucial evidence about Harris’ motive was no longer available for them to use.
