If RH forgot Cooper was in the car until he peeled into that parking lot 7 hours later, then the reality is that absolutely no one, including Ross Harris, can be "certain" about whether or not Cooper was asleep. Not RH, not the defense, and not the State.
There's nothing unique whatsoever about all parties at trial other than the defendant (and in this case , perhaps even the defendant) not knowing for certain or even at all about particulars of a crime or contextual points, etc.
The defense will of course present a narrative, and Cooper asleep in the car is IMO a compelling narrative because it provides a plausible explanation for why RH wasn't aware of Cooper. I don't understand at all why you'd make a leap to premeditation if RH's attorneys provide this explanation in their defense.
But has anyone heard RH state that? That Cooper fell asleep? So far I only heard Stoddard testify that RH told him that. .. Stoddard also told Murphy not complete truths too on SW didn't he?
