Georgia Supreme Court Overturns Murder Conviction of Father Whose Son Died in Hot Car, Prosecutors Drop Charges

  • Justin Ross Harris will not face another trial for the death of his toddler in a hot car.
  • The Georgia Supreme Court reversed his murder and child cruelty convictions last June.
  • Prosecutors decided not to retry Harris on the reversed counts due to crucial evidence being no longer available.
  • Harris' convictions on three sex crimes committed against a 16-year-old girl were upheld by the high court.
  • Harris will continue to serve his 12-year sentence for those crimes.
