Georgia Father Released from Prison After Overturned Conviction in Son's Hot Car Death

Ross Harris freed nearly a decade after his toddler son died in a hot car, with murder conviction nullified but sex crime sentences upheld.

  • Harris was released on Father's Day, almost ten years after his son's death.
  • The Georgia Supreme Court overturned his murder conviction in 2022, citing prejudicial evidence.
  • Harris still served time for sex crimes involving a minor, which were upheld by the court.
  • Prosecutors originally argued Harris killed his son to escape his marriage, using evidence of his extramarital affairs.
  • The case drew significant media attention and sparked debates on parental responsibility and legal fairness.
