The aerial photo up and the defense's use of it are compelling, imo, that RH had many other places to park where his car would be less observed. He arrived late, places were taken, yet he parked where there was the maximum amount of traffic versus parking away from the only entrance, and back to the tree line.
I also am baffled what a discussion months beforehand about guitars in cars has to do with the price of beans in China.
The discussion about leaving a guitar in a hot car is a big deal in this case. He was told not to leave a guitar in the car because it would RUIN it, warp it, peel the glue off of it, etc. He started bringing his guitar into work and NOT leaving it in the car anymore.
Obviously a guitar's too precious to be left in the heat.

Yes, expensive musical instruments are, and yes, I see the rhetorical point the State is making, I just find it pretty weak, weaker still if it was meant to speak to intent.
Definitely not being snarky or meaning to be. But the fact that you took precautions to have a reminder, in itself gives pause that there is that possibility. I am not by any means excusing what RH did that caused the horrible death of his 22 mo old son. I can not imagine, but there are many thing that have happen through out my life that I can not believe happened. Good and not so much.Sadly this case is not the only case this has happen, thus the warnings, and "systems" to remind that a little one is in the car seat. JMHO

Co worker of #RossHarris says he and wife Leanna agreed if someone cheated, they'd stay together for Cooper #hotcardeath
so if no Cooper, no Leanna?
Defense just hit on the same point, then also went on to being stressed about a "Sprint" project (2 week turnaround) he was having a problem with.Duffie Dixon 11Alive ‏@DuffieDixon 5m5 minutes ago

With respect to your last paragraph, I am sure that the State is trying to establish the fact that Ross protects the things he cherishes from the heat in his car. Ross was warned about the danger of leaving his guitar in the car so he took steps to prevent his guitar from becoming damaged. When he was presented with the dangers of leaving living things in the car, he still left Cooper.
I know that this has not been admitted into evidence, but Ross also posted on Reddit that he doesn't understand people who leave laptops in cars during sporting events/concerts. I admit that I find his concern over leaving inanimate objects in cars troubling. Why didn't he show the same concern for his son?
