The landlord:
Everything was going right for this couple, said Joe Saini, who rents the family their condo on Wynnes Ridge Circle in Marietta. He said the family was actively shopping for a house. They wanted to buy a house so they could have some space for their child to run around the backyard.
Saini said Harris had been excited recently about a promotion and pay raise and was planning with his wife to begin house-hunting in East Cobb.
Saini, the landlord, said he last spoke with Harris on Sunday, and that Harris, who goes by the name Ross, was happily looking toward the future. He was anticipating a promotion and raise at Home Depot, which would enable Harris to buy a house in a nice neighborhood. Harris and his wife were already scouting out houses on the Internet, favoring the East Cobb area because of its good schools. They expected to start visiting them in a few weeks.
Saini said the Harrises were perfect tenants. When the air-conditioner recently broke down, Harris didnt get angry about it. Most often, they paid their rent one day early. He said Coopers room was filled with toys.
Even when Harris was arrested Wednesday, he made sure to have a family member call the landlord to tell him what happened.
Saini said it is absurd to even consider that Harris would hurt his child.
We know him. Hes not that kind of character, he said.
He called the charges cruel and unusual punishment.
