Jury Summons Being Sent Out For New Hot Car Death Trial

MARIETTA, GA — Jury summons are being sent out in the trial of the man accused of intentionally leaving his infant son in a hot SUV to die.

Between 200 and 250 potential jurors in Glynn County will be questioned beginning Sept. 12, 2016, in the murder trial of Justin Ross Harris, according to 11 Alive.

The coastal city of Brunswick is the new venue for the trial.

The 35-year-old Cobb County man faces murder charges related to his 22-month-old son's death. Cooper Harris died on June 18, 2014, of hyperthermia in his father's SUV while Harris went to work. Harris also faces several charges of "sexting" with minors, including several such messages at the time his son was dying.

Attorneys for Harris argued their client could not get a fair trial in Cobb because of media attention and scrutiny. Cobb Superior Court Judge Mary Staley agreed, making the decision to move the trial elsewhere in early May.

Prior to her decision to move the trial, Staley asked prosecutors and defense attorneys to collaborate on finding acceptable jurors to both sides. She also rejected a motion from the defense to bring in jurors from outside metro Atlanta.
