COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- A Cobb County judge will allow "bad character" evidence to be presented in the trial of a man charged in the hot car death of his son.

Justin Ross Harris is facing numerous charges, including malice murder, felony murder and cruelty to children, in the death of his 22-month-old son Cooper. The child was found dead in the back seat of an SUV in June 2014.

In motions hearings last month, the defense team argued that several pieces of evidence, including information on Harris’ alleged infidelity and internet searches on life without children, shouldn’t be allowed at trial.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- A Cobb County judge accused of getting too cozy with prosecutors will now have to fight to keep his job. 

There has yet to be a hearing to determine if Judge Rueben Green did anything wrong, but an attorney running for a seat on the bench has filed to run against Green.

In late February, a motion was filed asking Judge Green to recuse himself from a case and grant a new trial, due to statements made with prosecutors outside the presence of the defendant or his attorney.

MARIETTA, Ga. (WXIA) -- The father charged in the hot car death of his son has been indicted on several new counts involving sexual exploitation of children.

In June 2014, Ross Harris was arrested after his 22-month-old son Cooper was found dead in the back seat of an SUV. Harris is set to go on trial in April on numerous charges including malice murder, felony murder and cruelty to children.
