One of the big obstacles will be RH forgetting CH was in the car 30 seconds after snapping him into his car seat because he didn't make the turn for the daycare. The thing I remember is that when my son was a toddler I talked to him constantly when he was back in his car seat. I needed to keep...

I haven't looked anything up but my memory of measured hot car temps from news stories are much higher that 115 after a very short period of time. I fear it took CH longer than an hour to pass too because it was morning when he was left. Where are the tears from these parents for this child?

All I can say having grown up in TX and living now in southern AZ is ya gotta have good AC. I just get in and blast the AC and get going. Opening the windows doesn't help me if there is no breeze, I have no patience for it. Having soon to be cold air blowing on me gets me past the initial...

This may mean nothing, but, RH is on the phone to someone at the daycare in Cooper's classroom for 6 min according to testimony from the Prelim Hearing. Then, again according to testimony, when LH arrives, M at the daycare sees her and says "What are you doing here?" Maybe an innocent thing to...

I don't get that missed phone call where RH tried to call LH after he "discovered" Cooper and didn't get her. If she was in on this, wouldn't she be making sure to answer his calls? IDK. And why wasn't she calling him like mad when she found out Cooper was never dropped off? If she was I...

I will be interested to hear if LH utilized any type of reminder to make sure she never left Cooper in the car after stating it was her worst fear or something like that. Anxiety about this stuff is normal, but wouldn't you do something to prevent it from happening? Wouldn't you get your...

And how could LH say at the funeral that she wouldn't bring Cooper back to this broken world. That's just weird. Who says that? Was the world better two years ago when you brought him into this world? Wouldn't most parents give anything including their own lives to bring back their child? You...

It's interesting that LHs mother asked her why she wasn't crying. Not, poor thing you must be in shock. A person who knows LHs normal reactions seems suspicious of her daughter's lack of reaction. That mom's natural reaction to LHs stoic behavior was to question it. Maybe in a what's up with...

Both RH and LH were worried enough about hot car death that they looked it up on their separate computers, but they didn't put any procedure into place to prevent it from happening. I'm sure those websites give you lots of ideas like putting your cell phone in the backseat. Or if you want to...

That wicket would indeed be sticky. How would you even defend stopping? When you are walking into the building from the parking lot you really have no reason to stop unless to check your phone or watch someone/something. And it was fairly warm outside, you'd want to keep moving. Looks real...

Is it possible the quick talk about the life insurance may have been regarding payment for the funeral expenses? That's the only reason I've heard for having life insurance on your child is to pay for a funeral if the child should die. Not easy to come up with thousands of dollars that...

He does seem to make note of that answer. And I find his body language interesting. He seems to rock back in the chair a bit after an answering that might be upsetting, like trying to console himself or is becoming agitated.

That's one reason to look up info on hot car deaths, to see how you can know the child is dead.

I saw this upthread and then forgot about it, but did I hear correcting that the car seat was directly behind the driver's seat? If so, that is another red flag in my estimation. Where else would you put the kid so you'd forget him? Right behind you. Sent from my TX300CA using Tapatalk

While our cars back then didn't have a lot of the safety gear news ones do, the old cars were good old American steel from one end to the other and weighed a lot more. Driving my '65 Tbird is so much different than a new model sedan. It's so freakin' heavy and seems so much more solid than...
