New info. Now I'm really puzzled.

Hours before the toddler, Cooper Mills Harris, was pronounced dead, he and his father stopped at Chick-fil-A for breakfast, according to an arrest warrant obtained Wednesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The father then put his son back in a rear-facing car seat in the middle of the backseat and drove to work, less than a mile away, the warrant states.

“During lunch said accused did access the same vehicle through the driver’s side door to place an object into the vehicle,” the warrant states. “Said accused then closed the door and left the car, re-entering his place of business.”

The first degree cruelty to children charge was downgraded Tuesday to second degree, according to a warrant released Wednesday. A first degree cruelty charge implies criminal intent. A second degree charge means investigators believe there was negligence, not criminal intent.

If this was truly an accident, surely the grief that the father will suffer the remainder of his life is enough punishment. The same with parents to back out of the driveway and run over their toddler or cause other fatal accidents.

Here's a quote by the English poet and author John Gay: "A moment of time may make us unhappy forever."

How sadly true.

FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis reports that investigators seized Ross Harris' work computer from Home Depot after his arrest last week. In the search history on that computer, a law enforcement source tells the FOX 5 I-Team someone searched for information on how long it takes for an animal to die in a hot car.

The FOX 5 I-Team has not been able to confirm when that Internet search was conducted.

I had heard this from a source of my own, who said this was unconfirmed.

Dear Lord, I hope that is not true.

I think they would have a hard time showing it was his search, assuming that's what they found.

The downgraded charge doesn't make a lot of sense if all the news is true.

I'm sure every employe has their own unique password to access the computer. This way the company would know who is doing what on the computer, such as porn, playing games, etc.

If this was an "auto-pilot" situation, he would have left his desk and walked to the onsite daycare, like he usually does, and it would be then that he would have realized what he had done. This was a deliberate murder and an attempt to cover it up.

That's my gut feeling on this matter, but downgrading the charges is confusing.

It's looking more and more like this wasn't an accident, which truly shocks me.  It is curious though that they would downgrade the charge.

I think the downgraded charge most likely came from the DA's office.  Maybe not enough evidence for the First Degree charge, and they don't want to let the guy off the hook.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

regarding the charges...they downgraded the cruelty charge to 2nd degree, but what happened to the original murder charge.  Has that been dropped all together?  If the DA doesn't think it can get a 1st degree cruelty charge, I'm not sure how they could get something other than a negligent manslaughter or the like regarding the death.

My thinking, as well. I watched CNN last night and Cooper Anderson had 2 DA's and 2 attorneys on, talking about it. I think all 4 were leaning to it being accidental. If they knocked the child cruelty down to 2nd degree, I can't think of any other situation that it could be other than negligence instead of intent.
