I wish they would've asked the brother, at the very least, why it is he thinks he could hear her throwing up but not hear her giving birth to a whole baby?!!
So bc other people couldn't tell she was pregnant bc she didn't get very big, they're trying to convince the jury that it should mean Skylar wouldn't have known either? Sorry. Doesn't work like that. There's so much more to being pregnant than getting fat and periods stopping. I didn't even need a pregnancy test to confirm my pregnancy...that was just to put it in my chart and make it official, but I knew before that. I know my body. Most women do. She knew she was pregnant. She was obsessed with looks and her body and she would've been pissed about that baby bump...she may have been small but there was an obvious bump. If the swim lady said in January she couldn't tell Skylar was pregnant, I believe in January she would've been around 5 months along. With my first, I was just barely starting to show right at 5 months, and I was 117 pounds prior to getting pregnant.
All pregnancies are different. I have had one still birth...similar to Skylar's when I was in my 20s. 5 live births--hospitalized for one due to bleeding in the last trimester. My first child was born when I was 18...I got my period every month and gained a total of 5 lbs and gave birth in a hospital toilet after being told by a doctor that I was pregnant and was not in labor. Luckily my first baby survived.I had no clue I was pregnant. I worked a full time job and it was a huge shock.
This girl was abused by her parents, especially her mother. There are no good morning texts, how are you text, no I love you, only work out today to lose that weight so you will look fabulous and take the laxatives to help. This is a very dysfunctional family.
Once she was in labor she knew what she was going to do before the baby came out. Why be quite and not ask for help if she planned on keeping the baby alive.
Skylar does my head in. Shows no emotion whatsoever during hours of autopsy pictures of her baby remains. Nothing. But shows her narcissist side by crying when her brother praises her. Such a shallow being like her mother. Revolting.
BELTED007 From what I saw it was not because her brother praised her... she was upset hearing him talking about her causing turmoil to their family and hurting their parents and also her brother... that’s her baby brother... I’m not one way or the other with this case but I do have a baby brother and I know it would hurt hearing his pain as she just heard her brothers pain that she herself caused. (Not trying to argue either I am just saying what I saw from my perspective)
Also, I want to say I’m not saying that it’s right that this is the first time she really has shown emotion... or defending her just saying that is what I saw. Her emotion was because of her brother talking about the effect all of this has had on her family.
She did not cry when she saw the bones of her baby but cry’s when her brother sings her praises of how wonderful she is, really!!! This girl knew she was pregnant!! She felt that sweet baby move in her belly!! Don’t buy this innocent act!!!
Her loving little kids is great and all, but someone else's child you see a few times a year - a few times a week is entirely different than your own child... she just gets to have fun with those kids, she doesn't have to clean up after them, discipline them, financially support them, etc. When the child is your own, everything changes. My friend who is 20 had a pregnancy scare recently. She works at a day care and adores the children she works with, and talks to me about them often. She shows me pictures and videos of them playing with her and being silly. But, she was so scared to have her own child and was strongly considering not keeping the child for many reasons that are her own business. Luckily for her, it was only a scare; she wasn't actually pregnant. But loving kids has nothing to do with whether or not you would kill/not want to keep your own child. This girl told NO ONE. If you LOVE kids, why would you not tell even your brother, your best friends, your school counselor, etc if they were all so close to you and love you so much and think you're a wonderful person that you were going to have a child of your own????? Oh, wait, maybe if you had no intentions of keeping it....
I know women that never showed anything but a little bump.These women carried in their backs. So her not looking big has nothing to do with baby size. Even serial killers opened presents and celebrate holidays. Nobody thought Chris Watts would kill his family. Most people celebrate the holidays. Your sister brought this on, nobody else. These children she didn't have full responsibility of kids she interacted with, her baby she would of been responsible for 24/7 like all other mothers, but she had college, she had a new boyfriend and mommy said she would have to take care of it and work. I would not want her around children.
One of my friends was pregnant, and her belly hardly went past her boobs, and no offense to her, but they're not very large. My friend is a very small person, she is about 5'6 (which is relatively tall, but she weighs no more than 120 lbs) and she hardly showed at all. Most people didn't even think to ask if she may be pregnant until she was about ready to give birth. She had him a few months after the end of our senior year, and I saw her every single day in gym class. She didn't tell people (other than her family members and the father's family members) until after graduation so she didn't have to deal with drama in school. Never once when we had that gym class did I suspect that she was pregnant, or even gaining weight.
When my mom was pregnant with me she was sick during a pregnancy I think she said she only gained a few pounds when she want to the. Hospital they said what are you doing here what's wrong she said I'm having a baby they said no you're not she said yes I am I only weigh like 6 something but this girl when you see her and her prom dress I got bad eyes and I could tell she's pregnant
She looked clearly, obviously pregnant in that dress. Rotund as can be and near delivery! I have 4 kids. I'm 5'2" and my average weight is 110 lbs. The most I gained among all of the pregnancies was 14 lbs. 14. My daughter came out a happy, healthy, nearly 10 lb baby. Immediately after birth I looked like I was never pregnant. My belly is flat and I have no stretch marks. This bs about her not knowing she was pregnant and she was underweight so the baby was at risk and died is ignorant. I guess she "got lucky" (conveniently) that it was a stillbirth..? Gtfoh
@@Kevs308 That's very true; however, she's just illustrating that multiple killers have been heralded as good, kind, and caring individuals until they are exposed. That's why character witnesses are sometimes hard to put stock or trust in. They can't accept that they were wrong about someone they liked or loved.
Nancy Simmons or they have people on the jury who have listened to the entire case and can not definitively say the baby was bore alive. Too much doubt has been placed. There is no way to know if the baby was alive or not. Not guilty.
Is the brother born on the day that the Trade Centre came down? 11/9/2001 My baby was born then and the labour ward was silently shocked at the events in the USA😭
I found myself going back and forth with my opinion until watching this. She wasn't catatonic today. Instead she was animated and showing emotion and it bothers me. Not once did she cru or react while looking at photos of her baby's bones but she cried when people were talking about her. I felt that she was guilty before the trial started based on the records that was publicly available. During the trial I started to feel sympathy. But now I have none. She is self centered and I believe that she is perfectly capable of killing her child I'm sure it was for appearances sake, she doesn't want to look bad. But I do not believe that she feels remorse about the baby. She's not sorry about whatever she may have done to the baby. She's only sorry that she got caught. She is truly a psychopath. And I find her mother's absence to be very telling. I had thought that she wasn't in the courtroom because she had been subpoenaed to testify as witnesses are not permitted to sit in the courtroom prior to giving their testimony. But I don't recall seeing her in the witness box. It makes me wonder. Initially I thought that her mom possibly helped her dispose of the baby. Her attitude in the interrogation room was strange. She didn't strike me as shocked or surprised. I have always believed that she helped her or she knew about it after the fact. And for her to not be in the courtroom makes me wonder if she really didn't know and is disgusted by her daughter's actions. Once the inital shock wore off for her dad it was obvious that he wanted to protect her. He was more angry about the fact that the doctor gave her a prescription for birth control pills than what happened with the baby. I think that she's definitely a daddy's girl and he coddles her and treats her like a princess. He was too worried about passing the blame on someone else.
Whoa. She has an emotion. Maybe I missed it but never saw her shed a tear when her dead baby was being talked about. Finally cried today when her brother talked about her. This who character witness bit is a joke.
I agree. Every time a character witness says that Skylar "would never harm anyone" because he/she knows her so well, they get crushed when the prosecution asks, "Did you ever imagine she'd give birth at home and bury a dead baby in her backyard?" The answer is ALWAYS "no". Done. You never truly know a person; you know the version of themselves that they want you to know. EVERYONE does it.
What difference does it make if Skylar "looked" pregnant? The fact is that she was and she gave birth to a child. I don't get why the defense keeps asking that.....
Even though the jury isn't suppose to allow sympathy to play a part in decision making def sure is playing on that emotion. I can assure you they're hoping that one person feels sympathy. Otherwise why bring in sr brother to testify to holidays and all the other emotional stuff most families experience in life.
See never saw her own baby as a human being. So super kind she buried her baby in the back yard. So awesome she buried her baby in the back yard. So scared of confrontation she killed the confrontation baby.
I think this judge is completely unbiased on all parts ...very fair to everyone !
Agreed
I like how this judge just comes to his seat and plunks right in
I wish they would've asked the brother, at the very least, why it is he thinks he could hear her throwing up but not hear her giving birth to a whole baby?!!
My cousin was like that when she gave birth in hospital she didn't make a sound because the pain wasn't that bad mine it was like a nightmare
She was also bulimic. I'm sure it wasn't the first time....
I'll bet he didn't hear her because she gave birth in the bedroom, not the bathroom.
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Her brother’s birthday is 9/11/01. Damn.
(Insignificant to the case, just an observation.)
Her poor brother must have been tortured in school the last two years. I'm glad that she still has his love and support.
This girl was abused by her parents, especially her mother. There are no good morning texts, how are you text, no I love you, only work out today to lose that weight so you will look fabulous and take the laxatives to help. This is a very dysfunctional family.
so she says she knew Skylar as a real popular girl.... YEAH! she's REAL popular NOW!
Tina Rogers oh no...how can she be miss cheerleader prom queen but has mentality of a 12/13 yr old according to Psychiatrist...lol
Carolyn Paez Porter; She's scary. I hope if she gets off that she'll never have children.
Lol
Yes, a popular cheerleader...but also a quiet introvert with a personality disorder.🙄 Not sure how you can be all of those particular things in one🤔
Carolyn Paez Porter pretty easy. All based on appearances. Don’t have to use ur brain to be a cheerleader.
"she would do anything she could to avoid confrontation." Exactly...including killing her baby to prevent confrontation with her parents.
That was so sweet her brother up there broke my heart, she cried too
🙄I can't with the bro's childhood stories😬🙉🙈
Donna Cox That’s what’s been drilled into their heads! Keep up appearances at all costs!
@@SKC193 So true! And the dogs, what's up with that!?!?
Once she was in labor she knew what she was going to do before the baby came out. Why be quite and not ask for help if she planned on keeping the baby alive.
Shell Bells Nails it’s quiet. Not quite.
Good point
Donna Cox rapid deliveries have a higher percentage of stillbirths.
Skylar does my head in. Shows no emotion whatsoever during hours of autopsy pictures of her baby remains. Nothing. But shows her narcissist side by crying when her brother praises her. Such a shallow being like her mother. Revolting.
BELTED007 I do wonder if she feels badly that she has put her brother in this position

I saw her rub tissue on her face, but not one tear dropped out of her ugly, evil eyes
When they first showed the bones , I did see that she looked a little startled or sad.
Exactly!
If her baby was born stillborn why why why didn't she call an ambulance doesn't make sense
Anne Moretti bc it would alert her mother that she was pregnant and had a baby. She was trying to conceal it.

Jackson was so coached.
Because it’s all about her

He heard her being sick but not having a baby
Some of those throw up was probably morning sickness, which you can have all day.
Makes so much sense, right? 🙄
Ellen, she should of been questioned about morning sickness.
That's an excellent point Vicky!!!
Wow life I didn’t have morning sickness so not everyone does.
Comments trip me out . So quick to pass judgement
Mary Poppins I know. Mob mentality. Easy to sit and judge behind a computer. Ignorant cowards.
It's because you got that one stupid person on the jury saying she's too nice she couldn't have did this and that's all they need
Nancy Simmons or they have people on the jury who have listened to the entire case and can not definitively say the baby was bore alive. Too much doubt has been placed. There is no way to know if the baby was alive or not. Not guilty.
Defense Attorney and Movie Star!! Even more gorgeous smiling. Gee ...
Célia Mello he kind of reminds me o JFK Jr. 😁
Yah he's CUTE! One good thing outta this sad mess
He looks like an actor, I recognise his face
Some women don't get very big while pregnant. I def did but I've seen moms that hardly look pregnant at all.

Tears only when her brother spoke. No tears for HER DAUGHTER. Guilty or not....NO TEARS?!?!
They had such great family traditions so Skylar could never have done any of this.
I know pink AND blue Easter baskets 😆😂🤣
Whoa. She has an emotion. Maybe I missed it but never saw her shed a tear when her dead baby was being talked about. Finally cried today when her brother talked about her. This who character witness bit is a joke.

This is like a dysfunctional TV soap family, it's all fake on the surface and toxic and dysfunctional benieth the surface😣
she's crying because she knows her brother believes she's innocent.
Her Poor Brother 😢😢😣😖💔💔💔
Does anyone know why she was bullied? For some reason they won't allow that question.
Does anyone know if this Skylar will be able to go to college or would most colleges not allow her on campus??
They’re going to drop her off at the dorm just in time for Rush week. She’ll be a year behind schedule.
She cries at her brother testifying and not a tear at the bones of her baby 🤨
That gorgeous lawyer, is also an Actor?I recognise his face as an actor
Hey Law & Crime camera person, can you please show the young defense lawyer more?
😂 he is definitely nice to look at
😂 he is definitely nice to look at
Gorgeous looking male. Likely in a relationship!
These kids were so sheltered.. the way he talks about the Easter bunny and Santa sounds like he’s still 6 years old.
Tears ! When her brother is questioned. Interesting.
Did mother testify?
I wanna know this also I can’t find any of it?
@Bumblebee Tuna then why didn't she come to the trial and sit with her hubby?
did i miss her mother testimony??
Venus Ventura I was wondering the same thing... 🤷♀️
I think Mommy and Skylar won't take the stand!
Oh I think not!!
Mom has been subpoenaed. She has to take the stand . That’s why she’s not court
Oceaneyes
She (mom) was subpoenaed by the prosecution which has already rested without being called, so she will not testify.
She wouldn’t hurt a fly... but she hurt the poor little precious human being 😠🥺

How come she gets a handsome, younger lawyer instead of a frumpy, older lawyer? Does she get absolutely everything she wants? Just wondering.
I thought the mother was testifying ?
The dopey brother needs to lose her as “his best friend.” Ain’t cool to grow up with a BFF whose a murderer, dude.
Its still his sister
