FAIRFAX, Va. - A Fairfax County (web | news) judge found a father not guilty of involuntary manslaughter Wednesday in the death of his 21-month-old son, who was left in a hot SUV for nine hours over the summer.
Judge R. Terence Ney said the defendant, Miles H. Harrison, 49, was clearly negligent in the death of his son, Chase. But the judge said Harrison's behavior did not reach the standard of gross negligence, which is required for a finding of involuntary manslaughter.
"The facts do not satisfy the standard imposed," said Judge Ney, calling Harrison "oblivious" and "plainly negligent". But the judge said Harrison was without "callous disregard for human life."
"There was not a callousness in his actions which is what the law requires," Peter Greenspun, Harrison's defense attorney, said.
