MARIETTA â After two full days of testimony and argument before Judge Mary Staley Clark, Justin Ross Harrisâs appeal for a new trial remains unresolved.
Harrisâ hearing has been tabled while both the prosecution and defense prepare further research on the case. The matter will now not be decided until early 2021.
The Cobb County man was convicted four years ago of murdering his toddler son Cooper by deliberately leaving him in a hot car. Harris was sentenced to life in prison. His attorney Mitch Durham contended that the trial was improperly conducted, and that his client deserves a new day in court.
