Trial - Ross Harris #4

[Hope4More]

Defense says Harris was a web developer and many of the websites he visited, including the private internet access site and the psychology site, were related to his business.

Persinger says Harris researched a statute in Georgia on the age of consent on his phone. But he found no evidence that he had searched for murder or homicide.

Age of consent. Texting with minors. Looking it up because he was worried about the consequences. Killing his baby in the car. No searches. Because he didn't care about the consequences? Hmm.

prosecution says jurors need to keep in mind that harris' search history was limited because it had recently been deleted.

fail.

They really are. It could be as "innocent" as the DA just accepting Stoddard's work wholesale and not being diligent enough to investigate very hard on their own, or to question the weakness of the "evidence" of intent. But the defense is showing the jury just how sloppy the State has been about presenting the "evidence" they are asking the jury to use to put a man away for murder and for life.

It's genuinely shocking.

And the $$$ the State has spent!

Wish they would ask him about searching for Prison

His searches were deleted. Did you not hear that?

I missed most of this current whitness on cross but I see post about the defense scoring points? I thought his testimony was pretty strong on direct however i though it contradicted other testimony provided that nothing on the devices seemed to be purposely deleted or hidden. Totally confused!

What I heard was the whole story, which is --he had 2 browsers . He cleared the cache on one --was it on June 6?And never deleted anything from Firefox, which sounds like his primary browser.

Go ahead and watch it. It was a dismantling of a structure very slowly, brick by brick, with precision; a work of art.

The court is taking a break.

JMHO that reading the Statute about age of consent, pretty slick too. Jury heard that and may think about these ladies and the charges.

The defense is demolishing his testimony on direct. Not really the fault of this witness. He only knew what he was told, and the State didn't give him enough info to do his job well. One more innocent thrown under the Stoddard-State bus.

Maybe they will think it curious that he looked up that statute relating to minors, but did not look up a statute related to "malicious intent."

The State should have left out all of this silly speculation of his internet searches and just focused upon his complaints about family life and the short time span of the drive and closeness of the car seat.

I agree.

Ya Gotta watch it! Took him apart just like he did Yeager! He was searching for stuff because "he heard it on the news" Malicious Intent! Brought some stuff up and had it on the big screen, gotta go back and look I think may have been entered but not sure. But made it sound like he was looking for jury info. witness info stuff like that :silly: The company is customer of RH /Winston/Alex business! And RH been doing work with him since Feb 2013!

Searched Divorce (which no one asked him to per his testimony) and came back with a Divorce Checklist.. he searched Name Change! Rodriguez should ask him about "confirmation bias"

They certainly haven't done themselves any favors by going there, that's for sure. Especially since, imo, most to all of these jurors must remember reading about those "child free" and "child in hot car" searches.

To have found out at trial those "searches " never happened was bad enough, but on the day before the State rests to have the State's "smoking gun" searches be completely demolished as bunk?

The State risks having the jury feel hoodwinked. Not smart.

Court is back in session after the midafternoon break. There is a brief argument among counsel about whether the prosecution delivered certain evidence to the defense in timely fashion. The jury is readmitted at 3:32.

But RH didn't delete incriminating stuff OMG
