That tragic death of a georgia toddler who was left in a hot suv for seven hours. Cnns Martin Savidge has shocking news. Reporter the new revelation is stunning. According to investigators, the mother of 22monthold Cooper Harris said she also researched on the internet how children die in hot cars. It follows a similar jaw dropping admission by the boys father. Both stories summarized in Police Search warrants over the weekend. He stated he recently researched over the internet childs deaths inside vehicles and what temperatures it needs to be for that to occur. Justin said he was fearful this could happen. It did happen less than two weeks ago. The father said he forgot to take the boy to daycare. Police say harris was seen at lunch time returning to the vehicle and placing an item in the front seat before going back to his office. Dad is being held without bond charged with felony murder and seconddegree child cruelty. So far no charges have been filed against boys mother. Police made the documents public saturday, the same day hundreds gathered for little coopers feeling. Witnesses say his tiny casket was red. His favorite color. No cameras were allowed but reporters could attend. The Emotional Service included the familys public statements. Leanna defended her husband during her childs eulogy. Saying am i angry with ross . Absolutely not. It has never crossed my mind. Cnns reporter was in the church. What got reaction was when she said ross harris is a wonderful father. And everybody stood up and started clapping. It was an unprovoked moment. Then coopers father spoke via phone from his jail cell. You could hear him sobbing over the phone. Trying to catch his breath. That got very emotional for people in the crowd. Do you remember what he said . He said thank you. He thanked those in the crowd for not only supporting him but also supporting his son. What was to be a service to remember a child also became a defense of the father charged with his death, leading even those attending torn by anguish and allegations. He could have gone to his car and not seen the little boy if the boy was sleeping. It could happen. He could have been distracted. But i do have questions about it. Martin savidge, cnn, marietta, georgia. Thank you very much. As tragic as this story is, it is far from the first time Something Like this has happened. Every year dozens of children die in hot cars. Jean casarez has more now. Reporter it is shocking but much more common than you might think. Children left in cars when temperatures are soaring. This ham to the most loving and caring parents. Literally weve had a veterinarian, a doctor, a dentist, a professor, a School Principal and even a rocket scientist. Daniel gray was just extensioned to four years in prison, pleading guilty to manslaughter after leaving his infant in a car for three hours during a hot arizona summer. And the woman from scottsdale left her child in the car in march with the windows cracked open while she went on a job interview. She is being charged with felony child abuse. She has pleaded not guilty. Theyre an average 38 per year children who die in a hot car. 38 children too many. It is tax of a tragedy for these families. According to the San FranciscoState University study, since 1998 there have been 619 heat stroke deaths of children left in cars. More than half were forgotten by their caregiver, while 18 were left on purpose. Another 29 were playing in an unattended car. One of the messages we tray to get across to parents is that no one is immune to this. It really truly could happen to anyone. How quickly does a temperature rise inside the car even if it is not that hot outside . The journal of the American Academy of pediatrics could understand ducted a study and the results are stunning. Even on a cool 73degree day, the temperature goes up an average of more than 3 degrees every five minutes. Faster in the first 30 minutes as it quickly shoots above 100 degrees. Even in relatively cool vehicles, temperatures reached upward of 117 degrees. This might surprise you. Even cracking the window didnt help much. The temperature continued to rise. Some believe the answer is technology. There are solutions intended to solve this problem. One young aspiring inventor created a strap to remind parents there is still a child left in the car. But will parents buy in . The biggest challenge with the technology is convincing parents they need it. No parent wants to believe this could happen to them. A crucial warning the hottest days of the year still to come. Just terrible. Thank you very much for that. Joining me now, former federal prosecutor kimberly priest johnson. Mark omarra, and legal analyst mel robins. Thank you all for joining us. It is important, i want to point this out. Leanna harris has not been charged with any offense. Cnn has no independent knowledge that she is under investigation. However, cnn has confirmed that she has made similar statements to police regarding researching in car deaths as her husband ross has admitted to. We dont know when these alleged searches were made. And i think the timing is probably pretty important. What else do we need to know . I think the big question here is motive. When they talk to the relatives, the family members, the people that attended that funeral, everybody says the same thing. This was a couple who loved little cooper. He was the center of their lives. This guy has no criminal record. So there is absolutely no motive in this case as of yet. That will be key moving forward. I personally dont think there is a case here at all. That the guy needs to go home. When i said it will be key if they researched when they were about to have a kid or the day before. Do you know what i mean . The timing is important. Youre 100 right. Lets hope jean casarez didnt do any internet searches when she was putting together a package about how fast a car can heat up. Theyre taking what i think is very normal behavior of a first time parent, to be concerned about something that might hurt their child, and trying to turn it into something that is very sinister. The timing is key. The other lawyer here, mark omara. What do you make of that . First, i agree. We need to not rush to judgment. We want to fill in the blanks with speculation and come up with some result. Let the investigation take its part. Realize one thing. There is no middle ground here. Either this man is an intended firstdegree murderer of the worst sort, or it was simple negligence and a mistake. We should not call him the first when the evidence seems to support, it was probably the second. Lets just wait to find out. I have three questions. The first is kimberly as a federal prosecutor. Question number one, Cooper Harris was only 22 months old. It isnt hard to imagine that he was making noise in the back seat . Possibly. I think it depends what kind of child you have. I myself have 5 children. Some of my children immediately fell asleep when we put them in the car and started driving. Others screamed the entire way. I think we have to assume, it is plausible that he could not have heard his child if his child were sleeping the whole time. Number two, ill ask it to you again. They had just been to a fast fad restaurant. How could ross harris have forgotten about his son that quickly . Well, we dont know that. I think we have to know that we are extremely distracted population. And he could have simply forgotten. He could have been thinking the million things he was going to do once he got into work. We dont know at this point whether he forgot or whether he intended to kill his son. We simply dont know. All right. Ill ask you this. His daycare was on site at rosss workplace. Wouldnt that trigger something in him . Does it hem or hurt the population . Does it make it easier to do Something Like this because it may be even more normal that he was at work and thought his son was in good hands . Well, the issue is that the chickfila and the work and the daycare were all so close to each other. It isnt likely that the baby would be so quiet right after you put him into the car seat after going to chickfila. But the thing that is the most concerning, first, yes, it is very important to know when they looked these things up on the internet. In any case, even if a parent looks that up, there is a question. Are they unconsciously thinking about doing that . Not just preventing something that may happen in the fought. Are they really thinking about that . And really the, i think he is protecting his wife. I think it is the wife behind this. When he got out of the car, apparently he was apparently he was saying, oh, my god, look what i did. The way ofs remarks at the funeral, that is what is the most disturbing psychologically. When she talked about im going to talk about that. Youre getting ahead of me here. Listen, again, as we still have no knowledge that the wife is being investigated for anything or has done anything. But mark, you seem outraged that she is making that assumption. My concern is that there is no evidence whatsoever to support the idea that he was protecting the wife or that he was trying to protect something that she did wrong. This is the type of speculation that all of a sudden becomes the fodder for a story that the way of is doing something. I think we need to calm down, relax and notice we know very little about this case thursday. Let it work its process. Quickly because you mentioned it, Leanna Harris that, am i angry with ross in absolutely not. It has never crossed my mind. If we have more children, ross will be a wonderful father, as he wonderful daddy and the leader for our children. Do you find that suspicion . Yes. Shes not angry with him. I think they were in this together or that he was protecting her. The things that she said at the funeral that were more serious were, when she talks about, now he wont ever have to have a broken heart. He wont ever have to mourn the death of his loved ones. Things like that. Thats a mom trying to find solace in what happened. It is amazing to me that a psychologist would sit here and lecture america on the psychiatrist would lecture america on the appropriate stages of grieving. You have a woman that not only lost her 22monthold but her husband is now in jail. And there is another explanation for this. A huge mistake. He realized halfway through day and it is in his coverup of the mistake that it makes it look intentional. Very quickly carol . I think there are so many comments that she made. We dont have the time to go through all of them. She didnt really seem to be appropriately grieving. Thats really the most suspicious part of it. Stand by. Still not evidence of anything and thats in your estimation. When we come back i want to talk about other things that are going on. Oscar pistorius, the blade runner, charged with murdering his model girlfriend. Plus Young Hollywood behaving badly. And countdown to teen usa. We have everything you need before you watch the match. F provokes lust. It elicits pride. Incites envy. And unleashes wrath. Temptation comes in many heartpounding forms. But only one letter. F. The performance marque from lexus. Where its biggest refinery has been attacked. More chaos over there means higher prices here but we can take control with Renewable Fuels like ethanol. It means more jobs and more security. Less pollution and less pain at the pump. Because its time to stop letting chaos decide our. Energy future. Tell congress and the epa to stand up to big oil. Dont gut the renewable fuel standard. Bcaptain and heres a tip. When you save money on hotel rooms,s captain a tip. Obvious. Its just like saving money on anything else that costs money. Like shoes, textiles, foreign investments, spatulas, bounty hunters, javelins. Lots of big cases in the news to talk about, and who better to get their feedback. Kimberly priest johnson, mark omara, mel robins. Kimberly, you wanted to talk about the comments made by the mom at the services for the little boy. You said it had tad with religion. I cut you off earlier. One of the things we know about this couple is that they were a very religious couple. When we put some of the wifes comments into that context where she truly believed her husband was the head of her household. She was supporting him because thats what she believes in her faith, thats what she is supposed to do. Also her comments that her child was in a better place and she wouldnt bring her child back, even if she could. That would be selfish. Those remarks, while they may seem odd out of context, very much fit within her religious beliefs. You are a former federal prosecutor, a former federal prosecutors, i should say. Would you try this case . Not with the evidence weve seen thus far. I think the investigation should be continued as it is, but with what we know thus far, no. Im looking at mark and mel. I know you said earlier, you wouldnt. Mark, would you tray it . Right now we dont know enough. They have the computers. It would be nice to know whether or not they gave that information about the computer searches voluntarily or in response to a question. Like you said, if it is recent in time it is a lot different. If they look up choking and measles and other childhood illnesses to put it in context. Right now we dont know anything about the case. Lets move to another big case here. After a monthlong adjournment, oscar pistoriuss case was adjourned again. That he was of sound mind at the time of the Reeva Steenkamp death. Was this the right decision, do you think . I think it was the right decision. I think that this can be really explained about his whole child hood of being born, having to have his legs amputated, that he was not a real man, fearing that she was with him only for the fame and worried that she was going to leave him. And his parents were divorced, his mother died. If you trace back his childhood you can see the explanation for why, especially on valentines day, he would be so fearful that she would leave him and he would do this. There was this question of whether she got a text from someone. He had love rivals and so on. And it could be explained, there is a logical reason. Not that he has to be crazy. Now that the defense cant use mental capacity, who do you expect to see the defense call to the stand . Its a great question. Keep in mind they havent been in court since may. Theyve had a major break. I think theyll resume testimony and probably to go character witnesses. This is a major blow. They cannot argue that generalized anxiety or a diminished capacity to understand right from wrong and they cant argue it in the sentencing phase. Remember, the big thing here is that halfway through the trial, he changed his theory. He went from saying he was shooting at an intruder to saying he didnt know what was going on and he had a momentary loss of even knowing what was happening. So i think thats the bigger issue. To nail down the theory of the case for the defense. I disagree that this is a major blow to the defense. I dont know that anyone ever expected that he was going to be found mentally incapacitated, and thus prompting a not guilty verdict by reason of insanity. I think the defense is still going to use the fact, all the testimony, the general anxiety to argue that that is why he acted the way he did. And he is still going to be able to make those arguments. Don, you may remember i said this. It was a huge blunder by the defense to raise the issue of his anxiety. In doing so, they were trying to seek some type of sympathy from the judge. Some type of diminished capacity. The problem is that the prosecutor jumped right on it like i said he would do and demand a psychological evaluation. And he gutted the argument that there was a mental incapacity here and i think it hurt the defense. I think it was a huge mistake. Knells gets promises from me for having caught that mistake and capitalizing on it. Though they may still have what we call mitigation of sentencing, they cut out their own legs. Now they have a monthlong evaluation that says this guy is wrong. You were front and center for this case. Today a Court DismissedGeorge Zimmermans defamation suit against nbc. Whats your reaction . Im not a civil lawyer so i dont do it but i was very surprised in a Summary Judgment matter, which means there is no way that case could last, it was done before the first bit of discovery was done. Ill leave it to the civil lawyers to look more into it. I would have thought, let the discovery continue so you know whats going on. Heres what happened. They aired the 911 tape from zimmerman. It didnt say that it had been ed it. Many people thought they did it on purpose to make George Zimmerman look guilty. Youve got that right. You take out 45 seconds in between and it says, is he black. It would seem theyre jumping on the bandwagon of sensationalism. If i can add in quickly. The reason they were able to dispose of the case on Summary Judgment, they disposed of on it a legal issue. They found George Zimmerman was a public figure. And florida law like a whole host of issues has some water things around that that required him to show actual malice as opposed to just a regular liable, slander case.
