Her weight has nothing to do with weight of baby. Baby gets what it needs first. Then mother get nutrients second. She said baby cried, baby gurgled, baby moved arms, that is very much sign of life. Altrasound showed baby alive. She should of went to her parents, called 911. She never intended for anyone know about this baby. She had college, she had a boyfriend that wasn't the father of baby, she had a mother that told her she would have to take care of baby and work. She said , I can't have this baby..
Did you watch the expert in false confessions? Skylar called her birth control pills a "subscription." Are you so sure she came up with "gurgling" on her own??
Vaughn, do you really believe she knew what to call a baby that takes it first breath and has mucus in it's nose and mouth. No that doesn't mean coursed testimony because she repeated the same word. A baby even after being cleared is going to choke and gasp more than once because of the mucus. Also do you think she cleared the baby of its mucus, don't think so.She couldn't have that baby really cry. She stated even before questioning "she could not have this baby".
Vaughn , I don't believe she came up with it on her own, she didn't know what to call the noise the baby made. She never cleared the babies nose and mouth.
Becky's Balcony Same! If I was on trial for anything I would feel much better with him as the judge haha! He’s just more fair and unbiased than any other judge I’ve seen.
Becky's Balcony Oh I know. I shouldn’t have used the words fair or unbiased ofcourse. I’m not sure what the words are I’m looking for LOL. I’ll just stick with your words, that he’s just a GOOD judge 😊
This expert just testified on cross examination that he NEVER reviewed the ultrasound of baby Richardson, yet diagnosis of IUGR ( intrauterine growth retardation ) Wow, unbelievable. !! And he diagnosed stillborn.
Richard Cline, M.D. Kind of big compared to what? I assure you that when a baby comes ripping out of any woman/girl’s vagina for the first time they’re very often stunned by “how big” baby is. I’m sure a baby that spontaneously delivered into a toilet would stun a young mother by its size even at 4.5-5lbs! Are you actually a physician? THINK
He did not need to view the ultrasound, I think as a gynaecologist doctor he is expert enough to state based on what he was given to the conclusion he gave, he is the only doctor making sense. In any rate the ultrasound showed 32 weeks as well and no other measurements in the i Lyra sound was taken other than one other, so I don’t see your point as to the doctor not viewing the ultrasound in any event
I actually had to deliver my friends baby and it was probably the best thing i have ever experienced besides bringing my own children into the world and the baby when she was born did make a "sound" when she came out and i held her before i suctioned her mouth n nose she cried a lil gurgley n then she started crying loud as soon as i suctioned the crap out of her throat n nose oh sweet lord just thinkin back to that day and listening to this stupid coniving bitch i couldnt even begin to imagine hurting that precious innocent baby girl!!!! Even if she had been born dead i still could not have even considered that as an option!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her even coming up with that as a choice just proves how self centered n selfish she is and its sickening and pathetic that anybody in their right mind wld consider this monster not guilty!!
One of my babies cried and the other didn’t. I think all babies act differently and that she didn’t have the knowledge or experience to make that assessment on her own. If it were stillborn she had her out. She did not need to dispose of the baby. Her parents would have been surprised maybe angry but they would have gotten over it. The family dynamic may even changed and become more stable and thoughtful through the loss of the child. The entire thing is just so insane. How does it end where it did? 😕
the mom heard a sound she herself admitted it a movement Yeah this girl said it...yes...right no no remorse her remorse went to: not really looking thin in this prom dress. And thats all i do not believe this baby was stillborn cause there was a puncture in one of the skull fragments annnd cig lighter was mentioned in referece to 'burning' she has no remorse. Period. She killed that baby. Did you notice that the puncture mentioned that was made in the skull fragment in one of the videos WAS NEVER EVEN MENTIONED AGAIN WHAT PUNCTURE YEAH her babys skull was hit punctured...i believe that was done to kill that moving soft sound making baby to kill still it. Then she she tried to cremate it
I’d like to give Mr Richardson a big hug. My heart breaks for him. Skylar is his baby girl & after the shock of everything sunk in he went to her in the interrogation room to comfort & cuddle her...unlike mum. This whole distasteful affair is tragic.
I’m happy your baby was healthy❤️Just a reminder each woman and pregnancy is unique. Your outcome does not dictate what the next woman’s outcome will be.
I had 6 pound 7 oz baby boy I went from 117 to 135 I worked out everyday of my pregnancy and was back at it 3 weeks later. My son is a gorgeous healthy 16 year old athlete.
@Shannon Primeaux you don't have to have been there to use your intellect in obstetrics or as a mother who has given birth. can you argue that if that baby had been born alive in this scenario that she never asked for help or had any preparation for a newborn? seriously what was her plan then if she "was born alive and well" just on that circumstantial evidence alone we know she had zero intention of this baby living that night stillborn or not. That baby was alive and well at that ultrasound there was no drug use or unhealthy habits that put that child at risk. That baby was born alive and I can feel confident saying this because a deceased baby was not described there was no preparation for an infant survival and the fact she gave birth alone at her age and remained silent shows 100% certainty no one was to ever know that child existed in any capacity after that doctors appointment where I believe her mother's intent was an abortion without knowing how far along she was. Skylar risked her own selfish life to keep that child's existence a complete secret. That baby wasn't going to live no matter what that night.
She used their own witness to prove that the fundal height in this case lends no credibility to the claims that the baby was underweight, small, or about to die. Therefore, the defense hasn't yet given sufficient evidence to prove a stillbirth. Bravo!
They trying to show that due to her medical weight issues that imposed a threat to the baby being born alive or dead, they don’t have to prove anything it’s the state who needs to prove. I think this doctor is about the only doctor that makes sense and I base it on my own birth experience. My amniotic fluid with my 3rd baby was so little they done a scan as they were concerned the baby had stopped growing, I bled well into my 2nd trimester same baby. My baby was born small 2.895kg, my baby stopped breathing after 1 week, so all this is making sense to me and I fully agree with this doctor no matter how the state is trying to discredit him.
Wow!!!! At 17:52 you can see the defense attorney give the “doctor” a cue to answer no to her question by shaking his head....then you clearly can hear an audible “gulp” sound from the doctor through the microphone.
He apparently doesn't worry about his reputation or he feels back where he practice their not going to see how he diagnosis. Not worried about it effecting trust with his patients.
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the 'miraculous' 8 pound weight loss 4 days after giving birth represents the full-term baby? She said (in one of the detective questioning videos) that the baby was big. I'm not sure if she killed the poor thing, but I feel comfortable assuming she didn't want her. She told nobody. She never went back to the doctor for check ups. She gave birth alone, then buried the child in her back yard and still told nobody. All of that she admitted. What does anything more matter?
Yes , she did say the baby was big. Its very clear she didnt want the baby and she proved she had no intention of letting anyone know she was pregnant by her actions and her actions after the birth, she just resumed he life as normal as if nothing had happened.
If I can figure out that Dr. Andrews was simply meaning that he did the fundal height manually as far as to obtain measurements and that it wasn’t by a sonogram. Anyone would know when he said by hand that he meant with a tape measure as if in the regular way of measuring the age of the fetus as opposed to the use of a sonogram.
And just the same, miss incompetent prosecutor! The defenses expert OBGYN makes the same "LEAP", that the baby was stillborn based on the single measurement as YOU do to back your opinion that the baby was alive!! The state got this wrong, there shouldn't even be a trial. I hope the jurors are smart enough to figure this out. There are so many things wrong with this case and it started with the first incompetent detective.
James Johnson i completely agree! The state is just contradicting their own case! Plus they are wanting to say now that the baby was born early? Even more doubt that the baby was alive! They are making a mess of this. She would have never been charged if they hadn’t thought she burned the body. Morons! Waste of tax dollars!
@@sarahwynn6486 when I say there wouldn’t be a trial it’s bc she wouldn’t have been charged with murder. Just tampering with a corpse. She was found innocent of murder. She didn’t kill her baby. She was definitely wrong for burying it in the back yard, and was found guilty of that. But she isn’t a murderer, as has been proven. If it wasn’t for her narcissistic mother she probably wouldn’t have buried her in the back yard either.
@@lifesabeach7416 She missprounced one word. He contradicted everything he said, didn't have real facts " she said" a paid expert doing a horrible job!!
The Prosecutor didn't ask her questions very well in many instances, in this video. A witness should not have to 2nd guess or have to interpret a prosecutors question(s) to them, these tactics are very unprofessional and in poor taste.
@15:58 Prosecution was having a difficult time being more specific on her question... Was there some type of ultrasound done on the first visit to get the baby's heart rate an or was there any measurement with that ultrasound of the baby in addition to the fundal measurement??
@@Renee1318 Yes I recalled the Doc got the babies heart rate and something maybe femur bone in ultrasound but it was not a complete data collection ultrasound That she needs to come back for a complete ultrasound... Curious if the first Doc thought she was 33 weeks if the baby looked 33 weeks was a big baby for that time frame. considering she delivery only 11 day after that visit. ??
Yes! He also measured the baby and it also backed up his 32 week measurement! Also; he told her she was 10 weeks from delivery, so the baby had not dropped at that point meaning the fundal height would have been accurate at the April appt. Based on this drs testimony about the due date, that means the baby was measuring 8 weeks behind.... and the state wants to now start saying the baby was premature? Dating conception in late August instead of early August?
@@sarahwynn6486 being head down and being engaged in the pelvis are two totally different things. Babies are normally head down at anywhere between 30-36 weeks. Engagement or what people call “dropping” which is when the baby enters the pelvic area in preparation for birth doesn’t happen until around 34-40 weeks. At that point fundal height is not accurate anymore. Until the baby is engaged the fundal height is pretty accurate in most cases.
Sorry not sorry. The defense is making him look really stupid and paid for his answer. The prosecutors expert far more articulate and assured. The defendant has not showed one emotion. She is guilty as the day is long.
This entire video = Madam Prosecutor doggedly ripping apart the defenses favourite witness. Defense can only shake their heads as she grimly dismantles the pivotal points of this whole case... Court is ruthless. It looks tough to be a witness, and what I have learnt from this whole court proceeding is that there is no truly unbiased person in this whole situation (except maybe for Your Honour presiding over the courtroom). We instinctively choose a side, or are trying to save face.
Thank you, I agree. There are some very evil and disgusting things said in here by some obviously angry people that either refuse to look at the facts or, don't care to.
This Dr. sounds like a liar. He is going round and round and really not answering. Also the Judge is clearly on the side of the defense. She's guilty but this bs is going nowhere.
The lady has no idea what she is saying medically period!! This doctor is very intelligent & is giving detailed answers & how he got their... With the report given, I would say she was miscarrying on prom night or before depending on when symptoms started occurring. Given the fact the funiculus umbilicalis, (umbilical cord) just detached after birth, I would agree with the information given she had a still birth.
This doctor said he's been in court before, doesn't he realize that the prosecution will never ask for complete detailed answers. They are only going to ask questions or ask for answers that help fits into a little story that they want to develop. So it's not so much about getting to the truth it's more about you getting to help them make the jigsaw puzzle pieces fit where they want them to go not where they should go. Add a little aggressiveness to the questioning and that's how most of these prosecutors win their cases.
He said, if that doctor said she said something about suicide or I can't have this baby, then that's his opinion, well, sir, what if we told you that she showed back up to his office without the baby, and he is the reason why we are all here today, period, wow,
How can the state say they have no idea what the gestational age was on the April appt?! They do know! They have two dates of possible conception, it’s pretty easy to figure out she was over 39 weeks at that appt!
Sorry about how all of you feel but I believe this doctor is doing his best to be honest but I have to say I would not want any of you on my jury because you don't listen to the testimony you judge right away....I will wait to the end of trial before I decide, I may be right I may be wrong but at least I will wait until the end to make MY decision like a jury is suppose to!! JMO
@@sattaway6854 While I personally believe that Skyler killed the baby, I'd just like to point out that there is also no evidence that the baby murdered. The prosecution did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. It's really unfortunate that Skylar is walking free, but the justice system worked in this case. There is a reason that the prosecution bears the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt: To keep innocent people out of prison. It is horrific to think of how many people have been exonerated due to DNA after having spent decades in prison for crimes they didn't commit.
I think when the baby started making noises Ms Richardson smothered it. What confounds me is how mommie dearest, got a dr office email saying "pt pregnant" and along with that belly getting bigger, never questioned it further. Especially knowing her daughter had a serious boyfriend.
Dover McManus her mom had to have known. I think that’s why she wanted her on the pill maybe she thought she could get an abortion still. I don’t think she purposely smothered it but she could have just been trying to hush the cries. Or it might have been stillborn considering she took birth control pills during pregnancy and was anorexic.
I 100% believe she was taken for an abortion. Mom didn't know how far along she was and thought it was done but it could not be done. It's so obvious in their text messages with mom saying her doctor was a great surgeon and being glad it's done with.
I disagree with the majority of the comments here. I’m listening to the trial. I don’t believe she intentionally harmed her baby. Everything she did prior to birth, and possibly during delivery may be the reason she didn’t survive but that is not why she’s on trial. How can anyone watch the interrogation tapes and believe she intentionally murdered her baby?
Watch from 37:00 to around 37:40. Watch the defense attorney's face. There, folks, you see the look of regret for putting your witness on the stand as he impeaches himself.
Lol. So, you believe that Skyler used a BIC lighter to light her baby on fire and cremate her, like the incompetent detective suggested to begin with???? 🤪🤪🤪.
The approximate breakdown of pregnancy weight --------------------------------------... 7 - 9 pounds of baby 2 pounds of placenta 2 pounds of amniotic fluid 4 - 5 pounds of increased blood volume 2 pounds uterine enlargement 3 - 4 pounds of fluid in maternal tissue 1 pound of breast enlargement to prepare for breastfeeding Any remaining pounds are a general deposit of fat required by the body for breastfeeding and energy stores
This country is so messed up. This woman flat out killed her baby, buried in her parents back yard, as you would a pet, & got no life, she's went home. Bull crap! Shame on that jury & that judge!
Also my last child came out in less than an hour lol he was 8lb and totally fine ….. labour time has nothing to do with it . My friend had a stillborn that died in the womb and she was labouring for over 13 hours
JustMe Myself&I from the media reports, I thought this girl was a selfish, sociopath. After watching 5 days of this trial; I think she’s a selfish, scared, naive girl with a sick, narcissistic mother who was obsessed with her daughters appearance/weight. The emotional manipulation and control she had over Skylar is disgusting. I don’t believe Skylar murdered her baby. I don’t think she knows if she was stillborn or she may have done something during delivery to accidentally cause the death. What we do know, her selfish actions - not seeking medical care, and now we find out her mother had her taking diet pills, laxatives, and birth control is not criminal. It’s definitely not what she’s on trial for. Many people say, she was 18, she knew what she was doing. I said the same in the beginning. However, she’s on trial for murder and the charge was set in motion after a false confession. We now know it was false, as the anthropologist admitted they were wrong about the body being burned.
@@mindful_senses5475 Your comment could have been mine, word for word! At the beginning, I was convinced she was evil. After watching the interrogations, I saw empathy in this young lady... What's bizarre in my world is that my husband knows very little about the whole judicial world and is typically pro prosecution. He watched parts of both interrogations and started getting angry!! The hand holding by the female in second interrogation made us both yell at our TV! Skylar had no idea these adults were trying to hang her!!
Out of my 25years watching trials - this EXPERT witness comes accross as the most honest and credible expert witness. And certainly does not come accross as a bought opinion.
Child who could not go to her parents.Teach children that they can seek help without judgement. Teach them that others opinions' are not what is important but doing the right thing is.
At 37:28, defense attorney is PISSED! Then at 42:40, Dr looks at defense attorney and touches his tie/neck area, indicating he's being smothered by her...! And at 1:05:29, elder defense attorney rolls his eyes in total disappointment.
The prosecutor is just going for the jugular because the detectives were leading and telling the girl what to say during interrogation, all of this would have been avoided if she had a lawyer in the questioning, prosecutors tend to do dirty work behind the scenes to get their way and it’s sickening how they are allowed to do so and they way they always have got to have the last word is so wrong because again you are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty but the way I see it happening in every trial is actually that you are presumed guilty until a proven innocent and it sucks
I'm thinking that of you have resources and premeditated hide your pregnancy and that child ends up dying, that should be at least being considered attempt of murder. It's like seeing someone dying and not calling an ambulance on purpose
Nowdont shoot me down people The only thing I think he is right on is the age of baby Not manner of death Think about it time of being impregnated was right on to deliver first week of may Initial doctor thought she was 32 weeks. Hes wrong. She was close to deliver. The measurements of belly maybe confused him to think that. Baby's bones were almost full term baby. But he should not think that she didn't kill her baby. Cause she did. So sad baby could have been helped no matter what age she was. She was a life taken away by a selfish and mentally ill mother. Just like the many women today aborting their unborn children. It's a disgrace for america. It's ok to kill your baby inside the womb but if it drops out that's murder?
Wonder if the defense read the comments about Mom not being there so they asked an Aunt or female family friend to sit behind Skylar...Notice before there were only men?
Mom CAN'T be in the court, she has no choice. She is technically a prosecution witness so she CAN'T be in the court room until after she is done testifying. I think they probably know what they are doing regardless of our comments considering we don't know the law or reasons why things are being done.
ifellicantgetup; However, the prosecution has rested, Mom isn't testifying so shouldn't she be in the courtroom? It shows lack of solidarity and a cold heart?
Vaughn Greenlee I haven’t seen any of the case for a few days just catching up and also noticed that and her breast are bigger more like the picture of her with the red dress on
@@zeebee9356 I have no idea. I don't think there is such a thing as having a heart in the legal system on either side. I don't know if they changed their minds, if she will still testify, I have no clue. But I do know the defense has made it exceedingly clear that she CAN'T be in the courtroom so that should not play a part in the jury's minds. Since she did receive a subpoena I don't know when that is no longer valid.
As bad as this doctor is as a witness, this case is still going to come back with a verdict of not guilty. The prosecution failed to show beyond a reasonable doubt that a murder was committed. Anything the defense does at this point is just to show the prosecution failed to prove anything beyond reasonable doubt. That being said, this witness is horrible. He doesn't answer questions with "yes", "no" or "I don't know". I'm positive that the defense instructed him to only answer in one of those 3 ways but he didn't listen. He wants to keep explaining but all its doing is making himself look bad as an expert witness. Sucks for him, because he gets paid to be an expert witness and after this, nobody is going to want to utilize him.
The doctor is so mad, he is wrong, he's been infuriated since the beginning, she's putting it to him, the judge did not take his side by saying he is answering the best he can at 16minutes and 57 seconds, he is lletting him.
@@cocochannel8932 Give it a break - you're not going to paint the prosecutor as a bully just because you don't like her. She's not going to babytalk to them and act like it's a daycare session. It's court. If people don't like it, they can not show up and let the prosecution win the case by default then.
Problem is this doc has made a diagnosis that he can't prove with 100% uncertainty. The defence is doing a good job at dismantling his claim. The defence however also cannot prove that Skylar killed baby Annabelle. 1 - 1.
No matter how small this baby was, if she wd of tried to deliver this baby the right way, it wouldnt hv been alone in her bathroom. Its her fault the baby died, no matter if she did it w her hands or not
This Prosecutor is AMAZING! Why was there Blood next to Skylars Bed, plus, Skylar got her Boyfriend to re-arrange her bed after delivering her baby? ?.....
I've never had a child before I've always work with children from birth to 17yrs old, but do all children makes the same sound when coming out the womb
all 3 of mine were different. one was holding her breath turning purple one completely quiet and one a gurgling soft cry until his airway was suctioned
That's why I love watching this comedy, because the defense wants to deny that they can say how healthy or big the baby was, but the defense wants to argue how big the baby was because the baby was supposed to be unhealthy
Its funny to hear the prosecutor try to argue with the doctor to say to him that the birth was healthy but at the same time talk about how skylar did things to hide her pregnancy weight and still try to suggest that the baby was healthy weight during the pregnancy.............. She spent an hour talking about the hand measurement of the belly as if it was the golden bullet to say that the birth was healthy BIT OF A CATCH 22 ISNT IT
Actually the prosecutor gave a lot of reasons why the baby could have been unhealthy too. The truth is...there is no substancial evidence either way if the baby was healthy or not healthy. This doctor made a good point. A measurement is something that is calculated with a meauring instrument. If the OBGYN didn't even use a measuring tape he made a guess about 32cm so there really is no way to tell if the fundal height represented growth or even limited growth.
The father made a good point about the dogs never barking. And the defense doctor made a good point about the reflex had the baby been underwater and that babies do not gurgle. Babies need a startle to fill their lungs and then they cry and they cry loud. The dogs would have heard that and barked.
So what if a doc uses the size of their hand to measure the cm and has done this many times. An example being my hand is 6cm across and I say it's 8hand lengths that would be awesome 32cm. That is how many old school obstetrics doc measure. What about poor clinics who can't afford a tape measure. I have so many questions ahhhhhh
Life With Duchenne plus the measurement he took with ultrasound that day backed up his opinion about 32 weeks. Idk why this is in question. He’s delivered 16,000 plus babies over 30 years? I would trust his “hand measurements” if he was my obgyn
the defense really has done this doctor a disservice. not giving him all the evidence and making him make a false diagnosis. they are literally ruining this man's reputation for ANOTHER baby killer! This man has been practicing for 30 plus years. smh
Good cross examination attempt by the prosecutor but she didn't lay a glove on him. So far this defense expert is doing a very good job with the nonsensical questions like "fundal measurement done with a hand" ( it's obvious it was done with tape measure because the doctor wrote 32cm on the chart). She's trying but so far she doesn't have much with which to impeach him (an outdated medical paragraph from 1991 is not going to cut it). We just don't know how the jury is digesting this though.
The state screwed the doctor. He can't answer a yes or no. He didn't read and research what was needed. He's a family doctor for well over a decade, maybe two, so of course he will say what he has to so he can protect that family. He's a waste of time.
The state here is what I said in the begingng. Trying tomake a story out of misinformation that has no facts. Circumstanacl evidence. Stop please ! The very sound of the states respersenative makes me cringe.
I'm glad I am not the only one with the same opinion.the state has had this wrong from the beginning and it started with that incompetent detective. He forced fed the information to Skylar and because she was young and immature, she fell for the shady tactics. Should have never been in there without an attorney. I don't think there would have been a trial
@@perryjohnson8213 What gets me is they weren't even going to charge her until the doctor said the bones were burnt. So when the doctor said she was wrong about the bones, why did they continue? The confessions were pathetic!! Made me scream at my television!!
At 39 weeks she’s giving him a hard time what he based his decision on and her doctor based her decision off the same stuff only she did it for the prosecutor

Did you watch the expert in false confessions? Skylar called her birth control pills a "subscription." Are you so sure she came up with "gurgling" on her own??
Vaughn, do you really believe she knew what to call a baby that takes it first breath and has mucus in it's nose and mouth. No that doesn't mean coursed testimony because she repeated the same word. A baby even after being cleared is going to choke and gasp more than once because of the mucus. Also do you think she cleared the baby of its mucus, don't think so.She couldn't have that baby really cry. She stated even before questioning "she could not have this baby".

This expert just testified on cross examination that he NEVER reviewed the ultrasound of baby Richardson, yet diagnosis of IUGR ( intrauterine growth retardation ) Wow, unbelievable. !! And he diagnosed stillborn.
Skylar told officers that “Annabelle was kind of big” and she had a job caring for infants and children
Because she had a 32 wk fundal height during her actual 39th week.
Richard Cline, M.D.
Kind of big compared to what?
I assure you that when a baby comes ripping out of any woman/girl’s vagina for the first time they’re very often stunned by “how big” baby is.
I’m sure a baby that spontaneously delivered into a toilet would stun a young mother by its size even at 4.5-5lbs!
Are you actually a physician? THINK
He did not need to view the ultrasound, I think as a gynaecologist doctor he is expert enough to state based on what he was given to the conclusion he gave, he is the only doctor making sense. In any rate the ultrasound showed 32 weeks as well and no other measurements in the i Lyra sound was taken other than one other, so I don’t see your point as to the doctor not viewing the ultrasound in any event

I completely disagree that no gurgling sounds when a baby is born. Yes they cry, but until they are suctioned, 2 of my babies had gurgling cries.

One of my babies cried and the other didn’t. I think all babies act differently and that she didn’t have the knowledge or experience to make that assessment on her own. If it were stillborn she had her out. She did not need to dispose of the baby. Her parents would have been surprised maybe angry but they would have gotten over it. The family dynamic may even changed and become more stable and thoughtful through the loss of the child. The entire thing is just so insane. How does it end where it did? 😕

HE (the doctor) kept saying "Um." Just a silly observation...Drove me bananas listening to him...
This woman has no remorse!!!!! She killed her baby because it was an inconvenience!!!!!
Just like many young women do, via abortion... a new life ends,
Yep. Most women who have miscarriages grieve for years. She’s shown no remorse or grief, whatsoever.
@howdyhowdyhow well said!! Thank you! Scary So many people have the mindset that someone is guilty before proven innocent, with no facts.
the mom heard a sound she herself admitted it a movement Yeah this girl said it...yes...right no no remorse her remorse went to: not really looking thin in this prom dress. And thats all i do not believe this baby was stillborn cause there was a puncture in one of the skull fragments annnd cig lighter was mentioned in referece to 'burning' she has no remorse. Period. She killed that baby. Did you notice that the puncture mentioned that was made in the skull fragment in one of the videos WAS NEVER EVEN MENTIONED AGAIN WHAT PUNCTURE YEAH her babys skull was hit punctured...i believe that was done to kill that moving soft sound making baby to kill still it. Then she she tried to cremate it
I’d like to give Mr Richardson a big hug. My heart breaks for him. Skylar is his baby girl & after the shock of everything sunk in he went to her in the interrogation room to comfort & cuddle her...unlike mum. This whole distasteful affair is tragic.
I had a healthy full term baby, no grow restriction to the baby(6lbs 13oz, 21 in.) and gained only 13lbs. Now he is a very healthy 28 yr. old.
Yes, my daughter weighed only 5lb. 2oz. full term. Now healthy 40 year old.
Cheryl Posadas
I weighed only 6 lbs 9 oz when I was born over 60 years ago.
I’m still not overweight, compared to most, doing very well.
I’m happy your baby was healthy❤️Just a reminder each woman and pregnancy is unique. Your outcome does not dictate what the next woman’s outcome will be.
Aren't you special.
I had 6 pound 7 oz baby boy I went from 117 to 135 I worked out everyday of my pregnancy and was back at it 3 weeks later. My son is a gorgeous healthy 16 year old athlete.
Nobody knows how far along she was, but she killed the baby for sure.
Agree!
You say she killed the baby "for sure." So you were there with her?
@Shannon Primeaux you don't have to have been there to use your intellect in obstetrics or as a mother who has given birth. can you argue that if that baby had been born alive in this scenario that she never asked for help or had any preparation for a newborn? seriously what was her plan then if she "was born alive and well" just on that circumstantial evidence alone we know she had zero intention of this baby living that night stillborn or not. That baby was alive and well at that ultrasound there was no drug use or unhealthy habits that put that child at risk. That baby was born alive and I can feel confident saying this because a deceased baby was not described there was no preparation for an infant survival and the fact she gave birth alone at her age and remained silent shows 100% certainty no one was to ever know that child existed in any capacity after that doctors appointment where I believe her mother's intent was an abortion without knowing how far along she was. Skylar risked her own selfish life to keep that child's existence a complete secret. That baby wasn't going to live no matter what that night.
She used their own witness to prove that the fundal height in this case lends no credibility to the claims that the baby was underweight, small, or about to die. Therefore, the defense hasn't yet given sufficient evidence to prove a stillbirth. Bravo!
The Raven the burden is not on the defense, it’s on the prosecution. So far, neither theory has been proven. There is reasonable doubt.
@@Seeingisntbelieving I know who the burden is on; she punched a big hole in the stillbirth claim.
The Raven the defense had punched holes in the live birth theory since day one. Too much doubt.
@@MrsMrMoney I didn't negate that. This particular video isn't about that. She did very well.
They trying to show that due to her medical weight issues that imposed a threat to the baby being born alive or dead, they don’t have to prove anything it’s the state who needs to prove. I think this doctor is about the only doctor that makes sense and I base it on my own birth experience. My amniotic fluid with my 3rd baby was so little they done a scan as they were concerned the baby had stopped growing, I bled well into my 2nd trimester same baby. My baby was born small 2.895kg, my baby stopped breathing after 1 week, so all this is making sense to me and I fully agree with this doctor no matter how the state is trying to discredit him.
Wow!!!! At 17:52 you can see the defense attorney give the “doctor” a cue to answer no to her question by shaking his head....then you clearly can hear an audible “gulp” sound from the doctor through the microphone.

He apparently doesn't worry about his reputation or he feels back where he practice their not going to see how he diagnosis. Not worried about it effecting trust with his patients.
I found myself having to look away and just listen to the defense doctor’s testimony. Was too painful to look at this guy while he disintegrated.
Yeah he crumbled so badly that Skylar was found not guilty. The prosecutor was absolutely charmless.
I feel embarrassed for this doctor- can barely watch- he is trying so hard to twist the information for the defense and coming across so badly
Actually he was very honest and conceded when he was incorrect.
Maria K I found him to be very credible and honest. I agree he conceded when incorrect. I didn’t see him twisting anything..
Maria K true. Anytime a doctor keeps saying "I don't remember exactly," don't listen. He doesn't know if this baby growth restricted.
Sorry but I can't stand that prosecutor, Ms. hound dog face.
I love this judge.
If they say report or reports one more time.......I’d like to report that they keep saying report
Lol!!!
I'm reporting your disdain for report! ❤
I want to report that fundle height😳
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the 'miraculous' 8 pound weight loss 4 days after giving birth represents the full-term baby? She said (in one of the detective questioning videos) that the baby was big. I'm not sure if she killed the poor thing, but I feel comfortable assuming she didn't want her. She told nobody. She never went back to the doctor for check ups. She gave birth alone, then buried the child in her back yard and still told nobody. All of that she admitted. What does anything more matter?
Yes , she did say the baby was big. Its very clear she didnt want the baby and she proved she had no intention of letting anyone know she was pregnant by her actions and her actions after the birth, she just resumed he life as normal as if nothing had happened.
Exactly!!! And made a fool of herself spilling the beans on herself.
I can't believe that abortion is illegal but doing what Brooke did is ok.
If I can figure out that Dr. Andrews was simply meaning that he did the fundal height manually as far as to obtain measurements and that it wasn’t by a sonogram. Anyone would know when he said by hand that he meant with a tape measure as if in the regular way of measuring the age of the fetus as opposed to the use of a sonogram.
Absolutely. The prosecution knows that too. She is reaching
This doctor should be a politician 🙄
I bet he wished he had stayed at home! She made mincemeat of him!! Skylar looks pregnant in that prom photo
I actually see it as she reeks of despiration.
I agree
And finally this judge does right for the prosecution... She did an awesome job... u go Ms Prosecutor!!!!
Very strange that she was trying on prom dresses and going to the beach with her family and they didn’t notice a protruding belly.
Jennifer Williams Exactly. Who got her into her corseted dress? Her Mother, of course, was she stupid?
And just the same, miss incompetent prosecutor! The defenses expert OBGYN makes the same "LEAP", that the baby was stillborn based on the single measurement as YOU do to back your opinion that the baby was alive!! The state got this wrong, there shouldn't even be a trial. I hope the jurors are smart enough to figure this out. There are so many things wrong with this case and it started with the first incompetent detective.
James Johnson i completely agree! The state is just contradicting their own case! Plus they are wanting to say now that the baby was born early? Even more doubt that the baby was alive! They are making a mess of this. She would have never been charged if they hadn’t thought she burned the body. Morons! Waste of tax dollars!

Shanez Veganess™ Exactly
@15:58 Prosecution was having a difficult time being more specific on her question... Was there some type of ultrasound done on the first visit to get the baby's heart rate an or was there any measurement with that ultrasound of the baby in addition to the fundal measurement??
It seems to me they said Dr. Andrews did an ultrasound.
@@Renee1318 Yes I recalled the Doc got the babies heart rate and something maybe femur bone in ultrasound but it was not a complete data collection ultrasound That she needs to come back for a complete ultrasound... Curious if the first Doc thought she was 33 weeks if the baby looked 33 weeks was a big baby for that time frame. considering she delivery only 11 day after that visit. ??
Yes! He also measured the baby and it also backed up his 32 week measurement! Also; he told her she was 10 weeks from delivery, so the baby had not dropped at that point meaning the fundal height would have been accurate at the April appt. Based on this drs testimony about the due date, that means the baby was measuring 8 weeks behind.... and the state wants to now start saying the baby was premature? Dating conception in late August instead of early August?
@@MrsMrMoney the baby was head down ….
@@sarahwynn6486 being head down and being engaged in the pelvis are two totally different things. Babies are normally head down at anywhere between 30-36 weeks. Engagement or what people call “dropping” which is when the baby enters the pelvic area in preparation for birth doesn’t happen until around 34-40 weeks. At that point fundal height is not accurate anymore. Until the baby is engaged the fundal height is pretty accurate in most cases.
Sorry not sorry. The defense is making him look really stupid and paid for his answer. The prosecutors expert far more articulate and assured. The defendant has not showed one emotion. She is guilty as the day is long.
She's guilty of being careless and very immature but, she's not a murderer, not a chance based on the facts and evidence of the case.

He actually comes accross extremely credible.
I agree Sweetly creeping in
I don’t think judge is on defence side at all. He is a good judge
The lady has no idea what she is saying medically period!! This doctor is very intelligent & is giving detailed answers & how he got their... With the report given, I would say she was miscarrying on prom night or before depending on when symptoms started occurring. Given the fact the funiculus umbilicalis, (umbilical cord) just detached after birth, I would agree with the information given she had a still birth.
This doctor said he's been in court before, doesn't he realize that the prosecution will never ask for complete detailed answers. They are only going to ask questions or ask for answers that help fits into a little story that they want to develop. So it's not so much about getting to the truth it's more about you getting to help them make the jigsaw puzzle pieces fit where they want them to go not where they should go. Add a little aggressiveness to the questioning and that's how most of these prosecutors win their cases.

How can the state say they have no idea what the gestational age was on the April appt?! They do know! They have two dates of possible conception, it’s pretty easy to figure out she was over 39 weeks at that appt!

There is a reason that the prosecution bears the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt: To keep innocent people out of prison.

* no evidence that the baby *was* murdered, oops
@@You.Tube.Sucks. Defendants have been convicted on a lot less. Jury was looking through rose-colored glasses and listening with sympathetic ears.
THE PARENTS HAVE MONEY . THE DR. WAS PAID OFF.
I think when the baby started making noises Ms Richardson smothered it. What confounds me is how mommie dearest, got a dr office email saying "pt pregnant" and along with that belly getting bigger, never questioned it further. Especially knowing her daughter had a serious boyfriend.
Dover McManus her mom had to have known. I think that’s why she wanted her on the pill maybe she thought she could get an abortion still. I don’t think she purposely smothered it but she could have just been trying to hush the cries. Or it might have been stillborn considering she took birth control pills during pregnancy and was anorexic.
I 100% believe she was taken for an abortion. Mom didn't know how far along she was and thought it was done but it could not be done. It's so obvious in their text messages with mom saying her doctor was a great surgeon and being glad it's done with.
I disagree with the majority of the comments here. I’m listening to the trial. I don’t believe she intentionally harmed her baby. Everything she did prior to birth, and possibly during delivery may be the reason she didn’t survive but that is not why she’s on trial.
How can anyone watch the interrogation tapes and believe she intentionally murdered her baby?
United We Stand thank you.

2 pounds of placenta

Too many variables...I can't decide about the live birth.
JustMe Myself&I from the media reports, I thought this girl was a selfish, sociopath. After watching 5 days of this trial; I think she’s a selfish, scared, naive girl with a sick, narcissistic mother who was obsessed with her daughters appearance/weight. The emotional manipulation and control she had over Skylar is disgusting.
I don’t believe Skylar murdered her baby. I don’t think she knows if she was stillborn or she may have done something during delivery to accidentally cause the death. What we do know, her selfish actions - not seeking medical care, and now we find out her mother had her taking diet pills, laxatives, and birth control is not criminal. It’s definitely not what she’s on trial for.
Many people say, she was 18, she knew what she was doing. I said the same in the beginning. However, she’s on trial for murder and the charge was set in motion after a false confession. We now know it was false, as the anthropologist admitted they were wrong about the body being burned.

This doctor can’t assume things but the state’s doctor can? This lawyer is crap.
The prosecutor is just going for the jugular because the detectives were leading and telling the girl what to say during interrogation, all of this would have been avoided if she had a lawyer in the questioning, prosecutors tend to do dirty work behind the scenes to get their way and it’s sickening how they are allowed to do so and they way they always have got to have the last word is so wrong because again you are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty but the way I see it happening in every trial is actually that you are presumed guilty until a proven innocent and it sucks

Not manner of death

As bad as this doctor is as a witness, this case is still going to come back with a verdict of not guilty. The prosecution failed to show beyond a reasonable doubt that a murder was committed. Anything the defense does at this point is just to show the prosecution failed to prove anything beyond reasonable doubt.
That being said, this witness is horrible. He doesn't answer questions with "yes", "no" or "I don't know". I'm positive that the defense instructed him to only answer in one of those 3 ways but he didn't listen. He wants to keep explaining but all its doing is making himself look bad as an expert witness. Sucks for him, because he gets paid to be an expert witness and after this, nobody is going to want to utilize him.

She spent an hour talking about the hand measurement of the belly as if it was the golden bullet to say that the birth was healthy BIT OF A CATCH 22 ISNT IT
57:43 ?
🙈🙉🙊
The Attorney questioning this poor doctor is an awful person she has no respect she’s offensive and rude.
Actually the prosecutor gave a lot of reasons why the baby could have been unhealthy too. The truth is...there is no substancial evidence either way if the baby was healthy or not healthy. This doctor made a good point. A measurement is something that is calculated with a meauring instrument. If the OBGYN didn't even use a measuring tape he made a guess about 32cm so there really is no way to tell if the fundal height represented growth or even limited growth.
But she was breathing, , healthy or not.
The father made a good point about the dogs never barking. And the defense doctor made a good point about the reflex had the baby been underwater and that babies do not gurgle. Babies need a startle to fill their lungs and then they cry and they cry loud. The dogs would have heard that and barked.
@@joymace1223 she said the dogs were downstairs
So what if a doc uses the size of their hand to measure the cm and has done this many times. An example being my hand is 6cm across and I say it's 8hand lengths that would be awesome 32cm. That is how many old school obstetrics doc measure. What about poor clinics who can't afford a tape measure. I have so many questions ahhhhhh
Life With Duchenne plus the measurement he took with ultrasound that day backed up his opinion about 32 weeks. Idk why this is in question. He’s delivered 16,000 plus babies over 30 years? I would trust his “hand measurements” if he was my obgyn
so now the baby did not gurgle because it was born alive underwater. Wait, I thought it was a still birth this dude should go to jail
Uh uh.....he's thinking about his huge check he's cashing.
the defense really has done this doctor a disservice. not giving him all the evidence and making him make a false diagnosis. they are literally ruining this man's reputation for ANOTHER baby killer! This man has been practicing for 30 plus years. smh
Mel Smith That is such an excellent point Mel!
The Bad Seed
Good cross examination attempt by the prosecutor but she didn't lay a glove on him. So far this defense expert is doing a very good job with the nonsensical questions like "fundal measurement done with a hand" ( it's obvious it was done with tape measure because the doctor wrote 32cm on the chart). She's trying but so far she doesn't have much with which to impeach him (an outdated medical paragraph from 1991 is not going to cut it). We just don't know how the jury is digesting this though.
The state screwed the doctor. He can't answer a yes or no. He didn't read and research what was needed. He's a family doctor for well over a decade, maybe two, so of course he will say what he has to so he can protect that family. He's a waste of time.
31 minutes and twenty-three seconds watch him drink his water. psychopath? Hahah
The interview with the Dr and the prosecution made me anxious - cringy eek 😬
The state here is what I said in the begingng. Trying tomake a story out of misinformation that has no facts. Circumstanacl evidence. Stop please ! The very sound of the states respersenative makes me cringe.
I'm glad I am not the only one with the same opinion.the state has had this wrong from the beginning and it started with that incompetent detective. He forced fed the information to Skylar and because she was young and immature, she fell for the shady tactics. Should have never been in there without an attorney. I don't think there would have been a trial

What gets me is they weren't even going to charge her until the doctor said the bones were burnt. So when the doctor said she was wrong about the bones, why did they continue? The confessions were pathetic!! Made me scream at my television!!
@@perryjohnson8213 Thank you. I was starting to think I was on my own
At 39 weeks she’s giving him a hard time what he based his decision on and her doctor based her decision off the same stuff only she did it for the prosecutor
This doctor's an awful witness. He's so awkward with his hand gestures. He's making an ass of himself.
Is this the same DR that delivered her Mom? LOLOLOL
No.
Delivered the mom? You mean delivered Skylar, and the answer is no. Dr. Andrew is the OBGYN who delivered Skylar.

Id like to know WTH is the doctor that she went to in April? The one that told her she was prego. 🤔🤔 so why r we listening to this guy?? OMG ITS A SIMPLE ?...🤯 OH and we see you in the 2nd row of the gallery.
He is supporting the detectives plea that the baby is still born.
He’s already testified.
"It plopped out"... really?
