Story highlights Judge sentences Georgia dad to life in prison without the possibility of parole

Harris' lawyers say they plan to appeal the verdict

(CNN) A judge has sentenced suburban Atlanta father Justin Ross Harris to life in prison without parole for the murder of his 22-month-old son, Cooper, who died in 2014 after Harris left him in a hot car for seven hours while he went to work.

Harris also received another 32 years, to be served consecutively, for convictions on four other counts.

Harris, 36, who appeared in an orange jumpsuit with his wrists shackled at his waist, cast his head slightly downward as the sentence was handed down. He briefly closed his eyes but offered little other reaction.

In addition to the life term, Cobb County Superior Court Judge Mary Staley Clark gave Harris a 20-year sentence on a conviction for first-degree cruelty to children and another 10 years for sexual exploitation of children. Those charges stemmed from a finding that Harris tried to convince a minor to text him photos of her genitalia.

Harris also received a year each on two misdemeanor counts of dissemination of harmful material to minors, also related to his texts.
