Georgia's Supreme Court has overturned the murder conviction of Justin Ross Harris, a father who went on trial for his son's hot car death, saying much of the sexually related evidence the jury heard was 'needlessly cumulative and prejudicial.'

said the trial showed "extensive evidence" of Harris' extramarital sexual relationships, "which included sending graphic sexual messages and pictures to multiple women, including minors, and hiring a prostitute."

"The State convincingly demonstrated that Appellant [Harris] was a philanderer, pervert, and even a sexual predator," Chief Justice David Nahmias wrote.

Harris didn't challenge his convictions for sexual crimes against a minor; Georgia's Supreme Court said those convictions stand. Cobb County prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday that they plan to file a motion for the case to be reconsidered.

Its so unfair to use this evidence against a monster. That's what evidence IS WHEN YOU ARE GUILTY. It should be extremely prejudicial if the prosecution does its job properly. sounds about white.
