http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/10/03/georgia-dad-son-die-hot-suv/91513462/The trial of the Cobb County father accused of leaving his 22-month-old to die in a hot car began Monday, more than two years after the child died.
Justin Ross Harris, 35, faces numerous charges, including malice murder, felony murder and cruelty to children, in the death of his young son, Cooper. The 22-month-old was found in the backseat of Harris SUV in June 2014.
Harris claimed that the child's death was a tragic accident, but prosecutors told jurors Harris was a man seeking to escape the responsibilities of family life so he could focus on sexual liaisons with prostitutes and young women even teenagers he met online.
The case captured national attention two years ago after authorities revealed the father had been sending lewd messages to a woman as his son sweltered for seven hours in a parking lot outside Harris metro Atlanta workplace.

like the guy last week that decided to kill his child by making the decision to leave him in a hot car for four hours to hang-out with his girl friend so that his son would die. Son would die.
