GA - Suspicion over heat death of Cooper, 22 mo., Cobb County, June 2014, #13

[leah]

If people didn't like her you can be sure there would be PLENTY of people talking to the MSM! I think she is shy and quite crafty. And when she met RH the two of them made their own little fantasy world.

She looks very manipulative to me. You would think there would be a woman or two coming out to gossip about her, or somebody, anybody saying she is a nice person, and saying nice things about her.

Witnesses and officers at the scene with the defendant both said that he was on the phone telling someone that his child had died. He did make phone calls to someone, so indeed he lied about it.

Stoddard was never asked, and did not say, whether the officers heard someone on the other end of the line (as they did wrt Leanna's mother, for example). So their interpretation that he was talking to a person on the other end of the line is still open as far as I'm concerned. But that's just me. jmo

The biggest red flag with these phone calls is he claimed he didn't make ANY calls during that time.

Unless I misread it, Stoddard said that he was talking on the phone when the cops arrived. When Stoddard asked him about it he said that he did not talk to anyone" Obviously, if one believes the cop, he WAS talking I suspect he was being tricky in that he perhaps was leaving a voice mail message, but not conversing. Oh the webs we weave! lol JMO

I thought this too, but Stoddard was looking at the judge who was seated to his left.

Which is exactly what RH would have done standing with the driver side door open and tossing lightbulbs into the car...
He would have turned his head left away from the backseat.

Thanks for finding that. I think it's important to keep the facts straight.

Hopefully you read my post to Karmady about the facts as well.

He did talk to someone. He lied about it. I don't think the witnesses and LE are lying about hearing him talking on the phone about Cooper being dead.

Ya'll are making me nervous to get out on the road with all the inadvertent red light runners. Sheesh.

YES.

JHR could have been mumbling to himself while on hold. I'm with you on the six minute phone call. There's no proof that he talked to anyone yet. JMO.

 

[JLSChook]

Huh? I don't know what that has to do with it?

LOL! Karmady said (I think) that when Stoddard was testifying to them having Ross on video (lunch) putting light bulbs in the car, that it looked like Ross turned his head away from Cooper.

:gaah: I'm not explaining it right.

Watch it again and watch Stoddard's head while he is explaining this part of the video, and hopefully you'll get it. If not, I can try to explain again.

Yes I read your post. I don't agree with it though.

 

[Karmady]

I get what you're saying but......at the same time, I'm pretty sure it is based on whether or not the case has been proven to be "intentional" or not. I know, there's that word again.

It doesn't depend on that. The crime RH is currently charged with does not require intent, but supports a felony-murder charge that carries life or the DP. I think the difference is that most states don't just let old felony charge (i.e. one that does not require intent) to support a felony-murder charge. I could be wrong about that, though. Haven't researched it.

I wonder if he said that he didn't talk to anyone on the phone during that time? If he was on hold and hung up that would be a true statement. JMO.

All this talk about the phone calls reminds me that the witnesses on the scene saw him on the phone. In addition, he told the female LE to f___ whatever when she asked him to get off the phone. That's when he was handcuffed and put in the police cruiser.

I was amazed that after about a 5 hour interview he was arrested and charged with murder. I've never heard of that happening so soon. LE usually does more investigation and allow the parents to grieve together before making an arrest.

So, I'm wondering what all was it that JRH said and did that so raised LE's "hinky meter" to the point so soon. We know they were suspicious at the scene and they must have looked at his phone during the time he was being interviewed. We also know about the strange comments he and Leanna made when they met up in the interview room. I've also heard that he gave conflicting accounts of what happened and did not tell LE about his lunch-time visit to his car and his bogus phone call as a pedestrian went past his car.

If that's what we know now... the information needed for probable cause, I can only imagine that LE and the prosecution have much more similar information.

:banghead::banghead: Sorry for meandering, but I'm in factual information, video-deprived state right now.

 

[BrownRice]

With all of the details together, I have no problem finding JRH guilty as hell and deserving of a life sentence.

But when it's picked apart, I find it very easy to believe he got so caught up in his sexting that he totally forgot about his son. There is no reason JRH needed to be late to work. He was up at 7. Men *usually* get ready for work in what - 10 minutes? Add a toddler (especially if child wasn't fed at home) and tops it is 30 minutes (that's stretching it). Was he laying (or is it lying?) in bed with Cooper watching Dora and sexting 6 different women. That takes an hour, heads off to work, continues sexting at CFA, puts kid in car, continues sexting, gets to work, continues sexting, goes to lunch. So wrapped up in his alternate life that he forgot his kid. Even if this scenario were true, I still think he is completely negligent of parental duties and should be convicted and imprisoned for a long time.

So, are you saying that you think he was 'faking' phone calls telling dead air that his child had died?

 

[dlkutac]

Funny about the space that he parked in. It's the only space on that lot that can be accessed from either direction.
bbmThat is the part that jumps out knowing that he could have parked in the space in between the two that he backed up in, then pulls forward to park in the space ahead.

I do that all the time in parking lots, pull forward into a space that I can easily pull forward out of when I leave. It relieves me of having to do most of the safety checks required for backing up.

 

[JLSChook]

Yes I read your post. I don't agree with it though.

You don't agree that LE and witnesses heard Ross on the phone telling someone that his child had died? Direct LE and witness testimony? Okay then.

 

[JerseyGirl]

That's how I interpreted Stoddard's statement too, but it's not really clear one way or the other. Either way (deliberately turning away from Cooper, or looking toward him) is incriminating IMO.

I agree, and as someone said yesterday he was probably hoping the guys didn't drive off so fast as he may have been planning to do "find" CH at that time. He was probably bummed all afternoon thinking of another way to "find" him with an audience.

I'm curious what time RH usually arrives at work. That day he got to work almost a 1/2 hour late, what I see as purposely making sure all the co-workers arrived and not in the parking lot. Notice he hesitates and turns around when a lone person walks by, pulls out his cellphone just so he doesn't look conspicuous.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

Now that you've said that, wonder if that will be one of their arguments for memory loss.

Yes, that is a problem with LowT

Interesting!

Yeah but better than being locked up in the Fulton County Jail, at least for a guy like JH.
