What was even more shocking is that after leaving him in the car to die, he proceeded to go to work and waited for him to bake to death. He also researched extensively on methods and times on how long it would take for someone to die in a hot car.

It was found that he left his son in the car as he wanted to escape family responsibilities and to have sex with underage girls.
Justin told police that he took his son for breakfast at a nearby restaurant then strapped him into his car seat after giving him a kiss.
However, prosecutors on the case overturned his claims as his statements did not make any sense as the restaurant was driving distance from his office. He could have seen his son in the backseat, but chose not to.
