ATLANTA — The Cobb County District Attorney’s Office won’t retry Ross Harris for murder in the tragic case in which he left his 22-month-old son, Cooper, to die in his hot SUV.
The decision was approved Thursday by Cobb Superior Court Judge Robert Leonard. The reason given by prosecutors was a ruling last year by the Georgia Supreme Court that overturned Harris’s murder conviction and limited evidence in the state’s case.
Harris’s case attracted international attention. Initially seen as a sad, sympathetic father, he drew scorn upon revelations he was a serial philanderer who sent graphic photos to teenagers.
