His matter-of-fact description of what happened will be a central point of debate.
"I knew that I had done what every parent in their life fears they've done and that's just leaving their son in the car on a hot day," Harris told detectives.
Harris said this was his "worst fear"
During the second round of questioning, Harris told detectives that he recently saw a news report about a father who had left his child in a hot car. He also says he just watched a video made by a veterinarian about how hot it gets for a dog left inside a car.
"My worst fear for me is to leave my son in a hot car," Harris said.

I find that portion of his interview ASTOUNDING.
So it was his GREATEST FEAR? And he had seen previous reports about it, even said that the grieving father, who became an advocate, had told others to MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THE CAR SEAT each time you leave your car.
Coopers car seat was just inches away. If he just slightly turned his head to the right, he could see the baby seat. That is all he had to do to avert his 'greatest fear' from happening.
I would find this whole tragedy more believable as an accident if he didn't know it was a possible danger. But he says it was his BIGGEST FEAR, He knew how to avert it, he recently saw a report on it, and also saw report on how hot the cars can get. And yet, within a matter of a minute, he forgets which way to turn to daycare, and then never ever turns his face two inches to the right, as he drives to work? Sits in his car for 33 seconds, never looks right, even though he grabs stuff from the passenger seat?
When you add this 'knowledge' about the potential deadly danger, to his current ambivalence about having a wife and a son, it is a deadly mix.
