On Monday, one of the most notorious murder cases in recent Cobb history will be back in the spotlight as Justin Ross Harris begins his quest for a new trial.
Over four years ago, Harris was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of his 22-month-old son, Cooper Harris. Cooper died after being left in the back seat of his fatherâs car for over seven hours, while his father worked at a Home Depot office on Cumberland Parkway.
Now, Harris and his attorneys will appear at a three-day hearing for a new trial starting Monday. Itâs set to be heard in Cobb Superior Court by Judge Mary Staley Clark, who presided over the initial trial.
