Ugh, my reply got deleted so trying again... Yeah, part of it's the old lack of reasonable doubt and part of it is claiming that adding the charges of sexting with a minor into the murder charges prevented Ross from having a fair trial.
September 2019:
At the beginning of 2017, Harris’ lawyers filed a motion in Cobb Superior Court for a new trial, claiming the court made several errors that effectively denied Harris a fair trial.
This reportedly included allowing Harris to stand trial for both the death of his son and charges that he sent explicit photos to a minor, and preventing the defense from challenging the credibility of Cobb police detectives.
...
In their motion for a new trial, Harris’ attorneys state that his conviction is “contrary to the evidence and the principles of justice and equity” and that the prosecution did not disprove their assertion that Cooper’s death was an accident “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Thank You MsMarple for your answer to the question from above. I knew it wasn't what I offered. I just couldn't remember what it was. I was coming back to research it more.
I sure hope his appeal is denied! After all the trouble the Prosecution went through to convict RH. Having to move his trial to another county and still getting a Guilty Verdict!
