INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF DEATH -- HOT TOPIC
Snip:
They (LE investigators) parked in the same space that Harris did and measured the temperature at times of day that are key to the father's felony murder case:
-- At 9:30 a.m., when police say Harris pulled into the parking lot at Home Depot's corporate offices, where he worked. He normally would have taken Cooper to daycare then but left him in the car.
-- At 12:42 p.m., when the 33-year-old father placed light bulbs he had purchased inside the car.
-- And at 4:16 p.m., when investigators say Harris drove off.
They have not released the data yet, but CNN weather experts believe temperatures could have climbed to nearly 140 degrees inside the car.
A government traffic agency has corroborated the possibility. "Cars parked in direct sunlight can reach internal temperatures up to 131 degrees F -- 172 degrees F when outside temperatures are 80 degrees F -- 100 degrees F," the National Highway Traffic and Safety Authority said.
"Even outside temperatures in the 60s can cause a car temperature to rise well above 110° F."
On the day Cooper died, the high temperature reached 92 degrees.

THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
Today, defense attorney Lawrence Zimmerman confirmed to CNN he had been retained by Leanna Harris (mother of victim Cooper Harris and wife of suspect Justin Ross Harris).

She's not been named an official suspect or charged with anything at this point. Whether she was involved in Cooper's death to any degree or not, she's wise to retain an attorney, IMO.
Currently, Ross Harris is represented by defense attorney Maddox Kilgore; he handled the defense at the July 3rd Probably Cause hearing.
