Trial - Ross Harris #9

[minor4th]

Boring doesn't know the law

Boring continued:

If Harris had backed into the parking space next to the woodline, Cooper wouldn’t have gotten any sun.

Yes, people walked by the car and didn’t notice anything, but “This wasn’t their child. This wasn’t their car,” Boring said. They didn’t stop by the car at lunchtime to throw something inside like Harris did.

Boring says Stoddard never lied. He testified based on the evidence he had at the time and the investigation was not complete. As it was completed, they learned more about the evidence and were able to piece different parts together.

While I believe ross is guilty and I fail to see how there is any possibility he did not know that little boy was in the car, I still suspect he will only be found guilty of lesser charges. Very anxious for the verdict and to see how long it takes. The one thing we can all come together on is that sweet little Cooper did not deserve to die, and I will be thinking of and praying for him today. RIP coop, I wish this wouldn't have happened to you.

Snide.

If Cooper was the source of the alleged smell wouldn't the smell be in and outside of the car where he was laying? Or is the State saying the smell stopped when Cooper was removed from the car? That doesn't make any sense to me. JMO

Boring continued:

Going back to criminal negligence, he knew the dangers of leaving a child in a hot car more than anybody, Boring said.

“This was no negligence. This was intentional,” he said.

Even if Harris loved Cooper, “humans are capable of awful awful things, -- especially selfish humans who are obsessed,” Boring said.

Yes many people said he was a good dad and loved his son, but they didn't know about his double life.

"Accident only applies if there is no criminal negligence. Accident does not apply in this case," Boring tells jurors. "But ladies and gentlemen, this was not negligence, this was intentional."

Another blatant lie . The "awesome" comment was texted before CFA, not afterwards.

Well he was shut inside a hot car so I would think the smell would be trapped inside and once outside there would be fresh air for the scent to disperse and therefor not be as strong as it would in the car where it had no escape

Unethical.

I wish he had googled what to do with kids on a cruise- he would have seen its a nice vacation for families if you want time away from your kids (assuming you want to use the kids club which I'll assume Ross would have loved).

Boring continued:

There’s no doubt he wanted to go on vacation, he talked big, he thought big absolutely,”

On June 9, 2014, when Googling about possible vacations, he asked if kids can go on cruises for free. He didn’t search for how awesome cruises are for kids. He was concerned about money, and Harris had complained in the past about how expensive kids are, Boring said.

How could he have been Googling vacations June 9 if he intended to kill his kid? Boring asked.

Common sense says he probably vacillated back and forth until he had the opportunity to kill Cooper, Boring said.

What does he stand to gain?

He doesn’t have to worry about taking care of his child anymore, Boring said.

I remember another person who had a secret double life - a sordid sexual life even though it was against everything he believed in and preached, and whose friends and family had no idea what he was really like. Travis Alexander. It obviously didn't make him a psychopath, a violent person or a murderer, though. Luckily the jury saw that.

I have to say that what Travis did behind closed doors(without his family & friends knowledge) as a single guy is not a good comparison to Ross a married man with child, in my opinion. Jmo

If I were a juror I would consider Boring patronizing asking to to believe some unbelievable info...or to take speculation as fact. At least Kilgore gave them info and facts to consider where Boring is attempting to tell jurors how to think

Boring says this defendant was "so good" that no one in his life knew all the things he was doing.

Yet, the defense then made the exact same argument about Travis as the State is making here about Ross- that a sex-filled double life and terrible secrets drove him to violence. Absurd in that case, absurd in this case.

 

[minor4th]

Boring still has yet to reveal what the criminally negligent conduct was...

 

[TexMex]

Yes he did. He got the idea from his friend, but he went there on his own even after he said "grossness"

Correct

 

[MyTinkieGirl]

If nothing else, this case will probably set precedence for any further "forgetful" parents defense.
I still can't believe we're all here arguing one way or the other about a parent "forgetting" their child in the car. This shouldn't even be an issue. I'm not just talking about Ross. Across the US, leaving your child in a car, "forgetting" your child in a car, should be an immediate charge of gross negligence in causing the death of the gift that was given to you. You "forget" a birthday or anniversary. You "forget" a bag of groceries in your car, NOT your child! Sorry. Even animals will fight to the death to protect their young. Pathetic.

Depends on how you look at it. I found it insulting that Kilgore was presenting Cooper's death as a hapless accident. That is more unbelievable than anything else presented in this trial, IMO.

And while I think Boring is not very linear in thought and not a good speaker, thank goodness he isn't incessantly squeaking and squawking. Kilgore would have done a much better job if he had condensed his closing, and skipped the theatrics. Boring is going on too long now, as well. I feel he needs to reel it in.

No. Like LE did orginally, he expects the jury just to assume Ross is guilty, and to check off the boxes to make him so.
