>> i have complete confidence in the jury's verdict, complete confidence in the evidence that was presented, and i believe when the day comes, this verdict will, in fact, be affirmed. >> reporter: but ross harris' supporters say there is another tragedy in all this. they believe his conviction will make things worse for parents who make similar, terrible mistakes. >> this sets the precedent that anyone that does this is a monster. and that's just not the case. this really can happen to anyone. >> reporter: cooper's family may never stop grieving for the little boy who had just learned to say h...

>> yes, he did. very much. >> did you ever see ross express anger or hatred or malice toward his son ever? >> no, never. >> reporter: then came that terrible day. the courtroom was silent as leanna described arriving at cooper's day care and being told he wasn't there. >> she said, he didn't come today. and i just kind of went into a panic. i didn't know what to do. i was just -- it didn't make sense. cooper was supposed to be at day care. i was supposed to be the one to pick him up. it didn't make sense. the only thing that made sense to me, based on everything that i knew that day, ross must...
