That right there, spunky Doll, is why I think you rock.

Along this same vein, did Ross have his bag (laptop bag) when he went home for the day (;eft for movies)? How did he enter the car? I can't imagine he would enter the car with the bag still on his hip (I'm blonde, I've done this before--you end up sitting on the bag)--so that would require leaning into the car to put it on the passenger seat/center console area (egads!), or passenger floor area. And how does this compare to how he normally entered the car with his bag at the end of the day?
BBM: I understand this point and agree it is compelling. But in the cases of other parents in similar forgotten baby situations the parent also drove a deceased baby in the car after a day at work and also did not notice an odor. In the case in our hometown a few months ago the mother spent a day at work and then drove to the day care to pick up her baby, forgetting that she had never dropped him off. Only after going into the day care center and being told she did not bring him did she discover him in the car.
So I am just pointing out that this in itself is not an indicator of guilt unless we are to believe these other parents are also guilty of murdering their baby.

So it seems like jurors want to know if Mr Sexty knew his child was in that car during the light bulb fiasco.
But my question is.
Why mess with your coworkers time schedule so you can pick up light bulbs?
Because he could have picked them up after work or before work.
Now he forgets everything but remembers to have someone else wait for him so he can get light bulbs at lunch?
Btw. When Leanna asked him about if he got to work.
Why didn't he do the dad bravado and text her back about how him and Cooper had a wonderful breakfast together?
Thanks! Tylenol isn't doing its thang after 42 mins...surprising...but on the upside dad did great in surgery! What a week so far...election, surgery, sickness ...please no hung jury
When my next door neighbors home burned, the cause was from their coffee pot being plugged in. I was shocked, but the Fire Chief showed us... no coffee pot plugged in for me until ready to use it ever since.
Huh that's exactly what my uncle said would happen....fascinating....
He may not have planned to leave him in the car before going to breakfast. It may have been an impulsive decision, triggered by the feelings he was expressing in the Whisper app. He may have pondered it for awhile, but only decided to do so that morning, when he was pulling out of the lot.
All the stresses were hitting him at once---stress from his job, unhappiness with his marriage---and Cooper was the one thing that prevented him from leaving all of that stress behind. He could quit his job, be single, and travel around as an advocate for child safety, just by 'accidentally' on purpose, forgetting to drop him off.
Also, Arias had plenty of people come forward saying she was a crazy stalking weirdo. Not one person said anything like that about RH.
I can see someone horrible trying hot car death as a way kill a child and possibly get off, or face less of a sentence than other methods. I just do not understand why
he didn't just drive straight to work, and just go out to the car after work like normal. I also do not understand why he would not clear his phone history, even if he thought
he could get off, he had to know it wasn't just going to happen automatically and that his phone would be looked at.
I would agree if there were not also the reasonable conclusion that it was actually an accident.
If the jurors can't find any reason for Ross to kill his son - nothing to gain, but something very valuable to lose - then I think they will have a really hard time with a verdict of malice murder.
I'm not familiar with the case you mentioned but IMO it is much easier to understand an unfaithful husband killing his wife instead of divorcing her. Happens all the time. Unfaithful husband killing his toddler son, who by all accounts he was thrilled with? Doesn't make sense.
Yes, I truly believe that any reasonable adult would know that if a child died on their watch there is going to be an investigation. Since many are speculating that
RH researched these deaths then he especially would know that there is often a court case or at the very least an investigation into whether there should be a case.
I have a pool. I know if God forbid something happened to my son in that pool when we were alone, LE would check if I was neglecting him. They'd at least have a look at my phone and computer, they would not just say, well ok, have a good day and cart him off. I can't imagine someone thinking they can leave their child in a car to die with zero investigation after. That's just crazy to me.
What I CAN see is someone wanting to purposely make a hot car death eventually be determined an accident. If RH had not said "F-you" to those cops and if he had no sexting or images of minors on his phone, he would be in a FAR better position today than he is. That is why I do not think it was planned. I feel if he plotted and planned it he would have had a better response worked out to LE than "f-you", he would have made sure there was no sexts/pics to/from minors. He would have driven from home straight to work, no stops, and he would have simply returned to his car after 4 like normal. If he did those very simple things, I think this would have been deemed an accident VERY early on.
I wanted to also add, someone mentioned earlier that RH made the CF stop because he planned this last minute somewhat impulsively that day. I just do not see this as an impulsive way
to murder someone, if one can wait the whole work day for someone to bake to death, then I think they could wait till the next morning so they could do it without the stop to CF or without going to the car at lunch.
If he could go out at lunch and decide his "audience" wasn't acceptable, go back in to work, then redo the "discovery scene" later on, it just isn't impulsive to me. This is all so very very far fetched and convoluted to me.
Nope. They are showing videos of him leaving work, and then walking out to his car and leaving. And they were discussing him leaving. His friends car is not there. he walks alone up to his car, gets in and drives away. Starts about minute 51-56.
Early on Kilgore made reference Gov of GA starting a PSA Campaign iirc May 28, 2014? He & LH had watched on tv.We don't know how much RH knew about hot car deaths, do we? LE said he had searched Google for the topic, but that turned out not to be true, didn't it?
We know that he watched the vet video, he told LE that he had recently watched something (on TV I think) about a parent who left their child in a hot car and then became an advocate. I wonder what that was... Did LE or the defence not bother to track that down to see exactly what information it contained? I wonder if it mentioned parents being investigated.
Eta I tried looking up hot car deaths in Georgia prior to Cooper's, because maybe RH would have seen them in the news and been familiar with the circumstances (or maybe not... Who can know). So far I only found one in 2008 where a foster mother left a baby (Jessica Scovil) in a car, and there was a lot of outrage in the press from the bio parents demanding that she be charged, and she was charged with
involuntary man-slaughter and reckless conduct. In 2010 she pleaded guilty to a single count of misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter. She got a year of probation, 200 hours of community service an a $1,000 fine.
It's hard to Google any hot car deaths at the moment because most of the hits are about RH.
