Justin Ross Harris is accused of intentionally leaving his infant son in a hot SUV to die. Live streaming coverage from Brunswick.

Jury selection began this week in the trial of a Cobb County father accused of intentionally leaving his son in a sweltering SUV to die.

Justin Ross Harris is being in Brunswick in the murder of 22-month-old Cooper Harris on June 18, 2014. Harris faces murder charges related to his 22-month-old son's death. He 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 to Brunswick.
