Exactly. Clear and convincing evidence beyond a reasonable doubt is the qualifier for finding this defendant guilty. IMHOO. The jurors will also need to define for themselves the phrase: "clear and convincing evidence beyond a reasonable doubt".
It has been written in one of the threads that JRH was, in the least, negligent in his care of Cooper.
cough cough
What is considered gross negligence by GA law?
We know JRH deleted much of his online history and, as much as was possible, has deleted his internet footprints, accounts, etc. This incriminating step indicates to me preplanning when coupled with his online video viewing of people dying and of the Dr. Ward's, the veterinarian advocate's youtube, video only 5 short days before Cooper is left behind in a very hot car. Also, there are those keyword searches that he openly told LE about researching because of his fear of it happening to Cooper.
Without further provocation, the judge who presided over the PCH stated this case could become a death penalty case.
Then, the brother's interview was published by AJC, a few days ago, giving a different take on the most incriminating evidence from the PCH. However, Dan Abrams
[remember him from the early Court TV days?] said yesterday, July 22, in an interview on GMA, that the revelations from the brother's interview would not be enough to sway a judge to grant bail. IOW, IMW, it doesn't matter because the evidence against the defendant is overwhelming.
DAs entire interview with Robin on GMAs report of the discrepancies:
