GA - Suspicion over heat death of Cooper, 22 mo., Cobb County, June 2014, #9

I am still going through RH reddit. He really does think highly of himself. Anyway I found this.

"I really can't tell anymore. I think my left ear has compensated for what Im missing in my right ear."

While in jail accused of killing his 22-month-old, Ross Harris told family members how to collect the $27,000 life insurance policies on the boy, search warrants released Friday state.
“Through the investigation Harris has made comments to family members regarding a life insurance policy that he has on Cooper and what they need to do in order to file for it,” according to documents obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Oh I see, he was already in jail when he told family members what to do. Did he do this via phone calls?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Were you aware that he's actually committed acts that would be crimes in the state of Georgia in the past year?*

BAYGENTS: I was not.*

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did you know he's been chatting with underage girls and getting pictures of their breasts sent to him?*
JUDGE: Who would help him post a bond if bond was set?*

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: His wife.

I believe Ross is in BIGGG trouble, he did not mince words here.
This was when his brother was on thw stand.
I guess they thought Leanna would pay his bond.

Not "the family"or "all of us"
his wife. hmm.
moo

Hi all, I've been reading these as a guest and have decided to join. I'm totally new to sleuthing, but am totally involved in this case on another internet location. I watched the hearing yesterday but apparently missed this---did they say that Cooper, a 22 month old, was strapped in to the infant level of the car seat?--Meaning the harnass

Can someone make a social media thread for Cooper's forum? I would do it, but I have no idea how. Or maybe there is one and I am just not seeing it?

last I heard ''he wasn't accepting visitors'' ((that was prior to the funeral)) YET that doesn't preclude his attorney from ferrying instructions to the family does it?

Agree. I would be considered anti-abortion, I think. But I have no issue whatsoever with the death penalty. I think that's a pretty common stance -- the critical distinction being innocent life v. convicted criminal life. But this has nothing to do with Harris since Cooper was obviously as innocent as any unborn child. So ....

Yes, that is more or less the stereotypical view of conservatives.

I am pro-choice and pro-death penalty.

During that court hearing, a Cobb County detective said the Harris and his wife, Leanna, had two life insurance policies for their son, one for $25,000 and the other for $2,000. Information on whether the family has attempted to claim the money on the policies has not been released.

I think a lot of anti-abortion folks are pro death penalty...jmo

That has been my experience as well, almost everyone I know that is anti-abortion is pro-death penalty. There is a huge difference between the two for MANY people.

Wouldn't conversations between him and his attorney be private though? I think he phoned his wife. JMO

I think we will need a thread for Justin's SM and a separate thread for Leanna's SM, or it's going to get even more confusing I think.

yeah, but I'm also an atheist. So don't try to put Baby into a corner lol

Yes, I am one of those conservatives myself. But I'm scared that this case may not get conviction if it's death penalty (Casey Anthony-ITIS). Rather they go the safe route and try for a lesser charge unless they find evidence so damning it is irrefutable proof. Such as one of the parents implicating the other in a confession.

yes they would

Did you guys figure out to whom Ross was talking at the daycare center for 6 minutes while his dead child was on the ground? tia

jumping off from your link:

"“During the interview with Leanna she also made a similar statement that this was her worst fear,” search warrants state. “Investigators questioned her further about this. Leanna stated specifically that her fear was that her child would be left in a hot vehicle, not the fear of losing a child.”

such a telling comment.......

most first time parents are paranoid about the unbearable thought of 'losing a child'

They are private unless of course he ASKS his attorney to relay messages.

yes ... exactly....but he could be asked to deliver information to the family and we would not have to know about that

A few things on my mind as I wait for fireworks....

I wonder if Ross had threatened or made snide comments about doing this?

I have a paralegal certificate. If, God forbid, my wife accidentally harmed one of are kids and I was talking to her, one of the first things I'd want to know is what exactly she told the police. Out of concern for her. But I wouldn't phrase it, "did you say too much?"

I don't think his friends dropping him off at lunch was an aborted reveal. I don't think he'd risk acting in front of his friends that knew him best. But, then again, he isn't the brightest.

Does anyone know if the defense lawyer was retained or assigned from a public defender pool?

Ross has an aunt with the last name Mills and his wife has Mills in her family. It was also Cooper's middle name. Not suggesting they are cousins or anything but I'm curious if there is a linkage somewhere. Just haven't had time to research it and Mills is a common last name.

I saw someone post something about Ross having no sense of smell (or friends saying that). Anyone know anything else regarding that?

Hope everyone is having a happy, safe holiday.
