<h6 class="ra-caption">Justin Ross Harris (left) with the infant son Cooper, a year earlier</h6>
<p>Prosecutors say &#8216;he killed the child on purpose.&#8217;<br />
Harris is alleged to have killed his son to escape his family responsibilities at a time when the father was pursuing amorous interests outside his marriage.<br />
At the onset of the trial Leanna Taylor defended her husband of 10 years as a loving father, who would not have left their son to die intentionally. However, after his reprehensible actions immediately after their sons&#8217;s death was revealed in court Ms Taylor came back the next day and said &#8220;He destroyed my life.&#8221;<br />
Leanna Taylor, who divorced Harris in March after 10 years of marriage, had taken the witness stand in his defense a day prior. She walked the jury through a series of family photos and touching video clips cute enough to make some jurors laugh out loud. It was her contention that Harris would not have left their son to die, intentionally. But she spoke of Harris in much harsher a day later after prosecutors portrayed how little she really knew Of the man she lived with, for a decade. Evidence in the trial revealed that Harris, not long before his son&#8217;s death, met a prostitute for sex. He went online seeking sexual encounters with men and women. The day Cooper died, Harris was swapping sexual text messages with a 17-year-old girl, asking for a photo of her breasts.<br />
Lead prosecutor Chuck Boring told the court that Harris intentionally left the boy in the SUV to &#8220;suffer an unimaginable, horrible death,&#8221; as mounds of evidence showed the extent of the defendant&#8217;s infidelity. The trial included sexts between Harris and several teenage girls.</p>

<h6><strong>Jaynie Meadows was 18-year-old college student when she met Harris online in 2013: He told me he “loved me everyday&#8221;</strong></h6>
<p>Jaynie Meadows, who was an 18-year-old college student when she first met Harris online in 2013, testified that he told her he “loved me everyday,&#8221; <a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/local/ross-harris-trial-more-sexting-part-key-things-know/DXQWfygKkO1kQB1c7QoEnI/" target="_blank">the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.<br />
</a>In one message, Harris told Meadows, now 21, that “if (Cooper) wasn’t in the picture, I probably would have left L by now,” referring to his ex-wife, Leanna Taylor.<br />
Harris exchanged messages with at least one other woman, Molly Sims, who was 18 years old at the time. She testified that she chatted with him on messaging apps Kik and Whisper.</p>

<p>Other evidence exposed at trial showed that Harris had watched a video about hot car deaths in the days before the killing and that minutes before he locked the toddler in his car, he said, &#8220;I love my son and all, but we both need escapes.&#8221;<br />
The defendant&#8217;s ex-wife Leanna Taylor testified that her former husband did not kill their child on purpose, though the jury found him guilty of both intentional malice murder and felony murder because Cooper died while Harris was committing cruelty to children.</p>

The prosecution and defense made their closing arguments last Monday following more than a month of testimony in Brunswick, a city 275 miles from Atlanta where the trial was moved because of pretrial publicity.<br />
