Police: Dad was 'sexting' as boy sat in hot car
The Justin Ross Harris hearing began about 1:30 p.m. ET. Watch it live on CNN TV and HLNTV, or on the WatchCNN feature online.
(CNN) - Justin Ross Harris messaged six women, sending and receiving explicit texts - some including nude images - from work while his 22-month-old was dying in a hot car, a detective testified Thursday in the father's hearing on murder and child cruelty charges.
Harris' attorney repeatedly objected to Cobb County, Georgia, police Detective Phil Stoddard's testimony regarding Harris sexting the women - one of whom was 17 - but the judge allowed it because it was a probable cause hearing.

Frozen in: Huge ice storm glazes the South
Are you feeling the effects of the winter storm? Share your images and stories with CNN iReport, but only if it is safe to do so.
Atlanta (CNN) - Fool me once, said Georgians.
Apparently well-prepared this time, they appeared to be handling an ice storm forecasters had billed as "catastrophic" - in stark contrast to a winter storm last month - but the worst may be coming Wednesday evening.
After icing parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, the storm arrived Wednesday morning in Georgia, and while precipitation decreased early Wednesday afternoon, it's expected to pick up again later, bringing more ice and snow to metro Atlanta. The ice will taper off later Wednesday, but snow is expected to continue into the night, according to CNN meteorologists.
