A Georgia man was sentenced on Monday to spend the rest of his life behind bars for intentionally leaving his toddler son to die inside a sweltering SUV on a hot summer day.

Justin Ross Harris, 35, will serve life in prison plus 32 years, a judge ruled. He had been convicted by a jury last month on all eight counts against him in the June 2014 death of his 22-month-old son, Cooper.

hotter climates. I'm glad he didn't get away with it and won't, ever, but that poor little boy.

7. Life in prison as a child-killer guarantees he'll be abused on a daily basis.

That baby face won't help.
