LH released a statement today:
http://www.myfoxal.com/story/26236264/attorney-for-leanna-harris-believes-she-wont-face-charges
"An attorney for Leanna Harris does not believe she will be charged with a crime.
Harris is the wife of Justin Ross Harris, the man accused of leaving his son, Cooper, in a hot SUV to die. The alleged crime happened in Georgia but the Harris family is originally from Tuscaloosa.
Harris' attorney said that her victim impact statement will help change public perception about her."
There's a link to the PDF statement inside the news article.

FTR, lh's attorney
could not be more wrong!
IDK how he can make such a grand leap, such a sweeping generalizing statement, about public perception of his client. I mean, I realize lawyers are paid to make PR-type statements within the legal realm, but this defies logic - IMO.
MY reaction, in reading her handwritten responses, is disbelief, disgust, and a good helping of derision at the continued disconnect we've seen from Day One. You've all done a fine job of verbalizing it already.
The bottom line is that when limited to communicating to the Court in a two-page document (and you have the benefit of counsel), every word matters. Seeing Cooper as less than front-and-center (not the clear focus/in the spotlight as he deserves IMO), rings hollow in my book. IMO, he is devalued whenever his loss is bifurcated with the (so-called) suffering of jrh, or lh.
Fill out an addendum, put it on the back of the page(s), do whatever you have to do to show your respect for the insurmountable loss of
YOUR ONLY CHILD!
This non-verbal communication would not be lost on the reader (the DA, the Judge/Court, and the public/sleuths) who will dissect it,
after your attorney goes to the media with it, of course.
Turd in the punch bowl, indeed....
Cooper deserved better.
Cooper continues to deserve better, still....
