Justin Ross Harris cleared of charges in son's hot car death.
TL;DR
Justin Ross Harris, who left his 22-month-old son to die in his hot SUV, will not be retried for murder after his charges were dismissed by the Cobb County District Attorney's Office. The decision was made due to a ruling by the Georgia Supreme Court which overturned Harris's murder conviction and limited evidence in the state's case. Harris is still convicted of exchanging graphic text messages with an underage girl and has been in custody since 2014.
