Please do not misunderstand me. I do not buy that he forgot, because I dont believe Cooper would have been silent the entire time. Which obviously cant be proved. So what does that leave? It leaves the big picture, but you and I both know the defense will have an excuse for everything.
They will probably call the entire day a series of unfortunate events. The most obvious to me will be that he was late to work, and I can surmise although he did think it appropriate to stop and eat that he did it only for Cooper because he had already missed breakfast at daycare. Then they will probably claim when he got back to the car and realized the time he became panicked over getting there as soon as possible. Almost everyone can relate to that!
See what I am saying? The big picture isnt so powerful when each negative thing has an opposing innocent explanation that creates a lot of reasonable doubt.
Unfortunately this guy is probably going to get away with murder...and we will see a rise in child car deaths...what a sad and unsettling thought

I tend to disagree.
If there are 15 separate things which point to one scenario, even if you can think up an argument or alternative explanation for each of the fifteen events , the fact that ALL fifteen things happened together has to be taken into account when looking at the probability of what happened. I would turn the argument around - what are the chances that all those fifteen things happening together is just a coincidence?
I would contend that having doubt in that case would actually be unreasonable.
