Trial - Ross Harris #5

[Rocco]

Yes he spoke of another father and that the father was an advocate. I don't think he said anything about "forgotten baby syndrome" though. And not sure where he saw it. All the witnesses who as experts testified, no search for those words used in the SW. I do not think FBS was ever brought up. JMHO could be wrong. Kinda makes me wonder if it was on that PSA that they saw on the news in May 2014 of the Gov campaign. JMHO that would make sense.

I'm not sure exactly what he said either but he was aware this had happened before and if the other father was out being an advocate, he apparently didn't get charged and go to prison.

Right. He's there as an expert witness to explain to the jury what FBS is and what triggers it, and to, under direct, respond to questions by the defense whether or not, in his expert opinion, the particulars of what happened that morning could have produced FGS, and if FGS could explain why RH didn't "remember" Cooper when cued at work, multiple times.

That's it. Experts aren't there to provide opinions about a defendant's culpability-- only the jury is allowed to make that determination.

:silly: RBBM FGS? For Gods Sake or FBS? Forgotten Baby Syndrome Hugs!! :blushing:

update from the courtroom this morning:

There was some discussion last week that the defense would put Leanna Taylor on the stand today, but that could not be confirmed. Taylor is Ross Harris's ex-wife and the mother of Cooper. She divorced Harris earlier this year but is expected to support her ex-husband in testimony. Court should convene for the day shortly.

Thanks, JerseyGirl.

That's what I was thinking. I can't see Kilgore giving the Media anything. Not saying the State may not have or who assumed this.

Looks like Twitter has a picture of LH/LT arriving at courthouse

IMO, if RH wanted to kill Cooper in the car and explicitly planned on staging that murder as FBS, he couldn't have chosen a less likely scenario. All he would have had to do to make FBS far more plausible would have been to feed Cooper at home, and to have driven straight to the Treehouse. That's it.

They are talking about trick or treating I think

Lead prosecutor Chuck Boring questions the relevance of a sonogram of Leanna Harris's womb showing the developing fetus that became Cooper. Lead defense attorney Maddox Kilgore says that sonogram is relevant because of Harris's joyous reaction to it. The judge says she'll allow it. She orders the jury brought in.

Attorney Kilgore: "Judge, we call Leanna Taylor."

I'll be posting updates from here: http://www.ajc.com/news/local/minute-minute-the-justin-ross-harris-trial-oct/iy7epchBrIkfTAw7p4k7RK/

I'd say it's pretty darn inconvenient for him. His son is dead and he's on trial for murder. Oh, and his wife divorced him and he's been in jail for 2.5 years.

At least he got one thing he wanted. LeAnna left him.

 

[JerseyGirl]

Leanna Taylor confirms that she is Harris's ex-wife and Cooper's mother. She begins to sob almost immediately after answering Kilgore's question about Cooper, but she then regained her composure. "Cooper was the sweetest little boy. He had so much life ... He was everything to me. He left to smile. He loved playing. He would smile and talk to anyone, no matter whether it was a stranger or not. ... He loved bananas. ... He was just amazing. I miss him so much."

She says Ross was a "very involved dad." "We were both very involved, diaper changes, baths, meals. Everything was very evenly split."

Kilgore: "Tell us about how he would treat Cooper in public or around strangers."

She smiles. "Like I said, Cooper was very friendly to everybody. He would smile at strangers, and Ross would say, 'Yeah, that's my boy. That's my baby.'"

Kilgore: "Is it fair to say he liked showing Cooper off?

Taylor: "Yes."

 

[JerseyGirl]

Defense asks Leanna to talk about Cooper. Leanna cries as she talks about how much she misses her son.

Ross Harris cries as Leanna talks about Cooper on the stand. Leanna says Harris was proud of his son.

"He wanted to be the one to push him on the swing. He wanted to be the one to slide down the slide with him. He wanted to be with him enjoying every second with him," Leanna says about Harris' relationship with his son.

So Ross liked the attention Cooper got him, not necessarily parenting Cooper.

 

[Hope4More]

She talks about him in the past tense. He WAS...

Ross can't even look at her

Strikingly can't.
