Today was an important one in the trial.
Detective Stoddard testified about how calm Ross Harris was when he questioned him after Cooper's death, though Harris did yell at a responding officer at the scene and he cried non-stop during his 40 minute meeting with his then-wife Leanne.
The jury was shown the 90-minute interrogation video and the video of Ross and Leanne's discussion.
Harris seems surprised that he's being charged with a crime in the video with Detective Stoddard and tells him a few times that it was completely unintentional. Harris also told Stoddard that he always told Cooper he loved him and gave him a kiss when he buckled him up just in case they got in an accident and Ross died.
Harris told detective Stoddard that he'd seen a news story about a man leaving his son in a hot car and also watched a video by a vet detailing what happens to a dog when left in a hot car; Harris said it was every parent's worst fear and his worst fear. Harris did not mention that he'd returned to the car at lunch and again, supposedly, failed to notice his son baking away in there.
A psychologist testified that she thought Ross Harris sounded rehearsed during interrogation.
A teen testified that she sexted with Ross Harris that day and he asked for a boob shot, which she sent to him and to which he responded, "yummy". The teen said Harris sometimes sent her photos which included Cooper and that he bragged about how smart his son was. Harris' defense attorney asked the girl if she thought Ross could every hurt his son and the girl said 'no'.
