Anyone watching this court stuff about the hot car kid death? (1 Viewer)

I've seen the story on the news. Despicable. Is it true his wife looked up how to kill a kid in a car too?
It makes no sense to see the pic of the dad and kid at a basketball game looking happy, and then realize the dad killed the kid.

And the wife is saying he's a great dad and talks about having more kids. The hell is wrong with people?

If the dude is a POS, then so is the wife.

Just atrocious.

Wrong thread for this.

Yes, because there's that rare case where murdering a child/allowing him to die is just the right thing to do. <_<

hope so, because searching for "child free" and "how to survive prison" doesn't seem like much to go on.

Could you point me to the right thread?
Come off it. Why even start a thread like this? Discussion? Opposing viewpoints?

I was pretty shocked by the amount of evidence they presented at the hearing.Here's a recap if you'd like to read it: http://www.hlntv.com/article/2014/07/03/justin-ross-harris-cooper-toddler-hot-car-death-live-blog
Two life insurance policies on the boy ($2k through work and a separate $25k one)
He was sexting several other girls, including pics back and forth. Motive?

I didn't start it so I do t know the 'motivation' but every newsworthy story gets a thread in here at some point. Feel free to throw stinky bait into any thread you choose. I just think this one is a poor choice. Sorry.

I didn't know this hearing was happening, and I find it interesting, so I appreciate the thread being started. There are much less thread-worthy items that get their threads here. This case is interesting to me because of the outrage the charges originally brought, when it seemed like the death was an accident. It's becoming harder and harder to believe it was in that category.

Husband told wife he was worried about what the child would look like after being in the car! Sicko!!!!
This guy should face the same punishment he subjected that little boy to. This is one thing that legitimately sets me off, someone hurting/ killing a child, especially a young one. There is absolutely no excuse to do something like that to a child, and if you have to hurt a child to make yourself feel better, go ahead and just kill yourself, and save everyone else the trouble.

No sctick... I haven't followed this very closely, but I have skimmed a number of news stories, and I know the story is smoking hot now. Where there is smoke, there's fire, and if Patrick Bateman says the guy is a sicko, well, that's good enough for me. I would just add the wife is just as sick.

He told his wife, "I dreaded how he would look," Stoddard said, adding that the boy's eyes and mouth were not closed when he was taken out of the SUV.

I've sold them before, but often as a rider on a parent's policy. Child policies are dirt cheap, and are often just to have enough money to bury them if something happened. 25k is kind of high for a child, but not that unusual in my experience.
That and the internet searches could be argued that it was simply the parent's being pro-active, but combined with everything else, I have a very hard time giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Article I read indicated one of the policies was provided by his work and was only for a couple grand. Not sure about the other, but if it was purchased recently that would not be good.

I added some on my daughter since she was born. If anything were to happen to her, the last thing I'd want to be worrying about is money and possibly having me and/or wife to go back to work before we were ready.

This is like Scott Peterson 2. Clearly the guybwanted to leave hid wife and get away without CS to be with another woman.
Not only that he chose to kill a baby in possibly the most painful manner possible.

was that introduced as evidence? I don't think I saw that in the article linked above: http://www.hlntv.com/article/2014/07/03/justin-ross-harris-cooper-toddler-hot-car-death-live-blog
They talked about him visiting a subreddit called childfree, which is an extremely innocent subreddit. If we are convicting people based on their subreddit history I am in deep deep deep ####.

Not sure if it has been yet both both parents did that type of search. What parent does that type of search?... and THEN has it happen? I don't even need to hear anymore to find both guilty of murder.

Thanks for the info on having life insurance. If it's super-cheap and gives you peace of mind re finances if something were to happen, that makes sense. 
Still don't understand having a $25,000 policy, though.
ETA: Not saying this is damning evidence--there is much more damning stuff here. Just didn't realize this was common.

if that ends up being true, it sounds to me like he is guilty and deserves everything he is going to get.

So true. Add up the Casey Anthony, Amanda Knox along with the rest of the field and I'll take this case.
I would probably have a much larger policy if I were going to do what it appears this guy did.Thanks for the info on having life insurance. If it's super-cheap and gives you peace of mind re finances if something were to happen, that makes sense.

That is the amount provided by mine and my wife's work both. Only have coverage as a rider on hers but at least here in hospitals (she works at a different hospital) that is the standard amount for dependants.Thanks for the info on having life insurance.

How could they know who did the searches?

Hate to be in the minority in this on such an awful case, but the evidence against murder here seems rather thin to me.
Maybe he was reading about how to survive in jail because of the sexting with the underage?
Either way, he deserves lots of punishment for what happened. Awful and sickening
