Call 911, yell out for help, do something to try to help your baby. I don’t understand how anyone could think for even one moment that it’s ok to bury a baby in your backyard. It’s not a dog.
Much Sunshine. Actually, a lot of people do that. It’s not uncommon and it’s legal. I personally have not, but my point wasn’t about the dog. I could have easily said, it’s not a hamster. So I see no relevance to your question.
Miss Wiggins, I hope the “good point” remark was sarcasm. So if we change the way we think about murder, then murder becomes acceptable? ...You may wanna change your thinking on that. ;)
Miss Wiggins My point is, it doesn’t matter her reason or what she was thinking. It’s wrong. That poor baby never had a chance. She had a responsibility as an adult woman to take care of that child and she didn’t. I don’t really care why. Ya know?
Miss Wiggins I was referring to what the other people on the thread were talking about. We could go back and fourth all day long but the bottom line is , and what I personally am referring to, is that she completely disregarded her baby. There’s no excuse. Abuse is not an excuse. She was a smart young lady who knew what she was doing.
The fact that she searched “how to get rid of a baby” shows her true intentions. She never called for help or performed CPR. Never returned for prenatal care or call the OBGYN back.
Wow, earlier the prosecutor had a powerful opening statement BUT now we have a defense lawyer who has an equally (or more?) powerful opening statement. This is going to be an interesting courtroom battle.
Without physically handling the baby they can’t say anything was wrong or baby growth restricted. I carried “small” but gave birth to 7-8lb babies completely normal sized!!! Also front view pics always disguise pregnancy & she was in a corseted dress.(I can see a baby bump😳)
Def opening quite clever. Reading and then playing little snipets from the interrogation. I'm looking forward to the full context of the interrogation.
I’m loving the defense so far! She deserves to be punished for what she did and hopefully the jury gets it right...but she’s got a good fight with these guys for sure
This is going to be a reeeeeal good and intense trial. The defense attorney is on his game and ready to fight...probably the best defense I’ve seen in awhile. Clearly she killed this baby and is an awful person for what she did....but both sides are coming out of the gate strong! Can’t wait to see how this plays out. Hopefully justice is served
Prosecution referred to the defendant's relationship with her mother....... her testimony should be interesting. This should be a very interesting trial.
Geoff Poole I agree. Apparently the mother isn’t even attending the trial. This whole case is riddled with weirdness....so many things are going to come to light I’m guessing. I just wonder how long it will go on...they said 2 weeks.
@@peacelovemusic3400 ahhhh, Are you serious about her mother not there! WHOA! Sounds like the defense will have another defense with her mother acting like that! What yall think??
If the baby was born alive, the parents and brother would've heard her cry. She probably wouldn't have been able to get up straight after giving birth to silence her baby before she cried. Even though this sounds like a feminist thing to say I'm definitely not a feminist but this is a bunch of middle aged men trying to tell each other how a teenage girl felt in the hardest time of her life.
Sure, but not without a few more words: easily available birth control, sex-education in school for both boys and girls, non-judgmental professional access to abortion clinics... AND education for parents on how to be supportive of their teenage daughters when they are in over their heads and feel totally alone.
Blaster Master First of all the police kept telling her what to say about burning the baby to fit their theory, the baby was never burned. That has been proven. Nobody can prove whether the baby was stillborn. Yes she had an eating disorder and was terrified of her parents so she tried to hide the pregnancy, that’s not a crime!
Looking pregnant and being pregnant has absolutely no bearing on it whatsoever. You can deliver a healthy baby and not look pregnant it's been done so many times ~this dude can get rekt.
Who cares if she looked pregnant? She knew she was pregnant! And honestly that whole slide show/ fashion show of pictures means and proves nothing! Nothing except that she liked to dress up in tiny swim suits and pretty prom dresses. Which honestly shows if anything more reasons why she must have hated that baby. It was ruining her perfect body! He said she cried not the baby! Seriously like anyone believes that! If she cried it was tears of joy! Thank god it was over! Now time to tighten up that belly and pick out a new bikini!
@@tynadarco3416 EXACTLY the point. Can you imagine? Killing your baby! I can see her doing it after watching the interviews yesterday. She kept saying I didn't mean to and then I didn't hurt her. DISGUSTING. She didn't fool me with that "I'm sorry I'm sorry" & "mommy mommy" BS..I wanted to slap the snot outta her.
@@jeanmariechopin5080 I look pregnant, but unless I have just broke the Guinness World Record for the longest pregnancy, I'm definitely NOT pregnant lol
Wow 🤩 this defense lawyer is very good!! He definitely raises the questions about the case !! He definitely makes you think about the perspective of how she was thinking!!
Skylar delivered a baby, buried it in the backyard and continued on with her life. You don't get a pass for what she did. She definitely needs to face consequences. No get out jail free card here.
@@MsStephanieJane31 she said that after admitting to the impossible lighter cremation. Everything after the literal false admission of burning, is void
She needs to be in jail to think about the awful and terrible decisions she has made! I’m done with these people! Grow the hell up! Be a good human and honestly, you gotta be kidding me with this crap
Sara Cooper AMEN to that!!!!!! Be a human....not a monster. It’s doesn’t take much to be a good person and make responsible decisions. It’s a shame that so many people these days are shitty humans.
It’s disgusting to hear this guys deviate the blame to everyone else for the horrific actions that demonic woman committed. She’s a murderer and she better get ready to spend the rest of her pathetic life in prison where she belongs.
@@evanb0869 they can not convict if there is no evidence lady ! Duh !!!! Judgement day will come for you as well ! Stone thrower ! Bet you feet are cut up from the glass !
Guarantee you that child had NO NAME whatsoever! UNTIL she was charged. It's a defense tactic to show emotion and attachment "with" the child. See folks, she even named the baby. Clearly she had love for this baby....... See how much better it looks???
Also, why call 911???? We are talking about a girl who was taking this secret to HER grave! Screw the baby! In her mind, the whole world revolves around her. Her image & her reputation. Period.
This defense lawyer is good!!! He is definitely going to give the prosecution a run for their money!!! He definitely is already laying into the prosecution!!! Mom and dad hired her a very good defense team!!!
@@JCP58 Demonic? Nope. A human being did it. A human made the choice to hide the pregnancy and either hide a stillbirth or kill the baby. Humans are capable of evil all on their own.
Thank you for saying that you could tell right away in that dress somebody had to question it now I know they were a little rich and I'm sorry rich people are clearly freaking stupid the uncle came out and said what this has done to the family the embarrassment is that what you really freaking say
My whole full term pregnancy LIVE birth you couldn’t tell I was pregnant. My son was 7 pounds 7 ounces 21 inches long. I was 5’7 130 pounds gained 40 pounds, I just looked like I gained weight. I carried my son towards my back. She could have secretly went to the drs, she could have faked a illness when she went into labor and she could have gave the baby up in a closed adoption,went home and celebrated having her stomach back. She murdered that baby either way still born or live birth. When they told her she was pregnant and refused to get any form of help that’s when she became guilty in my book. IF my daughter gets pregnant unplanned (she’s responsibly on birth control)she knows she can come to us and we will figure it out together. Her parents failed her and they are guilty too. Shame on them for making her not able to go to them in a important serious situation!
This is horrific & so sad! How do people think that killing a baby is the answer, if that's what she did? How does it get to the stage where u can't tell ur mother or father ur pregnant? When my daughter was 16/17 she fell pregnant, she was scared to tell me & told me via txt after she left in a taxi lol..I surprised her by saying we'll get through this & I was there to support her.
It doesn't matter how much her weight fluctuated, a pregnant woman feels movement early in the second trimester. She didn't need a doctor to tell her she was pregnant. She named her and then killed her. Even more sick. She didn't throw her in a trash can or a dumpster. She could've taken her to a hospital or anywhere else. I hope Annabelle haunts her for the rest of her life.
Look I personally know more than anyone, pregnancy isn't hard to hide. ESPECIALLY in a teenager. Big t-shirt, pants. No big deal whatsoever. I never showed my entire pregnancy, AND I wanted to. I never got to buy maternity clothes. And I was tiny. I weighed 104 ON MY DELIVERY DAY. I delivered a healthy baby. Period!
Nikki B yep my bf hid a pregnancy for 7 months at age 15, it was actually me that discovered it, me that told my mum and my mum had to inform her father, her mum had left her when she was 3. I also worked with a girl whose daughter worked at McDonald’s and got Pregnant by one of the other team members, she concealed her pregnancy and work colleagues told her mum that she was in labour... it was amazing, her mum was amazing, she had a crazy afternoon buying everything for baby before discharge home
@@Melissasuzie wow that is crazy!!! I will say I was 27 at the time I got pregnant. I wasn't trying to hide it from anyone but I was so tiny people could not believe I was pregnant. I would think if your tiny your gonna show even more. Nope. I know first hand, it's not the case! Was your best friend ok with what you did? Did you stay best friends?
Nikki B the really odd one was my friend, as of course I was right in the thick of it, her middle had rounded but only a little chubby ness, within a fortnight of it coming out her belly just popped out and she looked her full 7 months pregnant. It was crazy, when they went to see the Doctor her dad told the doctor she must only be a few weeks along, after abdominal exam it’s was determined that she was actually 7 months
So, wait up, at 16:29, the defence lawyer makes a statement from Dr Murray who "WE'RE NOT GONNA HEAR FROM...."......... What's that all about. That's 'HEARSAY'. How are these photos and statements allowed to be made in an opening statement without the opportunity for the opposition to challenge??????????? I don't get it.
11:29 “ with all the strength she has left...” Defense Attorney trying to make us believe that she is weak and exhausted after giving birth but still finds the ability to go outside and compassionately bury her baby in a spot she can “ see from her bedroom window,” and then again finds the strength to move a big pot of flowers so her baby has flowers on her unmarked grave.....ridiculous considering she went to the gym and worked out just hours after giving birth so clearly she isn’t that weak and exhausted ....come On! !
You don't understand eating disorders, abusive parents, or what it's like for children to grow up feeling helpless to escape- sometimes without even knowing on a conscious level that your parent is abusive towards you.
She was an anorexic and that plays into it. I can’t imagine the dr. knowing this did not immediately talk to parents or call her psychiatrist or a psychiatrist with experience in anorexia. The anorexic patient will starve themselves and thus starve the baby. I have helped anorexic patients. Hearing the mother cheering her on to losing weight is shocking but I have seen mothers of anorexics do this in my presence. When no one knew anything about anorexia a lay person in Canada who had 2 anorexic daughters who she helped recover opened up the 1st place to help them she was overwhelmed with desperate patients both male and female. She came up with life saving ways to manage them & help them and weighed them backwards. I had a mother with a daughter who had gotten better visit her and then I realized why the girl was so obsessive with her eating. I told the mother you must stop the calorie counting and quit telling her what foods and drinks she cannot have, let her drink an occasional soda and never ever say they have too many calories. I asked for a coke because I was watching how they interacted and the mom said we don’t drink pop, too many calories. And I said I am having a coke and so is your daughter. Aspartame in your diet drink is horrible for you. I agree sodas are not good because of the acid, and the caramel coloring, but an occasional one won’t kill you. And when I go out with your daughter she eats a regular meal and enjoys it. You have to learn how you affect her. And stop doing it. Unless you want her to die. So I cannot understand why a dr. would tell an anorexic teenager with a mental illness with a severe eating disorder would be alright and why he did not develop a plan with a psychologist or better a psychiatrist and a team to help her. There is always an underlying reason in their family history why they get an eating disorder. This child has had it since she was very young. It all could have been prevented.
I swear, I am going to start standing in front of the courtroom doors and sell individual cough drops to the folks going into the courtroom....could make a fortune on these courtroom coughers.
Defense counsel speaks to the high, valuable merit of "context." He proceeeds to employ flash moments from an interrogation, fused with incorrect quotes and quick cuts that efficiently buries any and all respect they have for critical 'context'.
the first interrogation is always the first attempt to stay out of trouble. Lies are told on the first interview by killers, that's common sense. all detectives play friend to get the truth. I love how they are making an investigation seem so unnatural. smh. Doctors do not "ask" if they can take a pregnancy test for birth control, it is required.
I had a child at 16 and I never wanted to be pregnant or have kids but I grew up fast and took on the responsibility of being a young mother and I would never fathom killing my baby.
i worked on a gynae ward, ive seen people give birth not knowing they were pregnant and without looking pregnant, ive looked after a young girl who came in with heavy bleeding, examined by a doctor who didnt know what was going on with her so she was prepped for theatre and when she returned to the ward he stated he 'thought' she had recently had a baby, police eventually found a deceased full term baby in her wardrobe, NO ONE realised she was pregnant....mum, dad, boyfriend, they were really shocked...she had severe mental health problems, and had totally blocked it out (she didnt try to burn the baby though!) the baby had apparently taken a breath so she was arrested, very sad
Amazing defense attorney, I think they have a good chance with this case by the look of just this opening video. Still have to watch the rest. If the baby was born stillborn and the medical examiner really was wrong about the burned bones than, the interrogation and them making her vulnerable to confessing to what didn’t even happen, makes this case very interesting.. I think the jury has a lot to think about already
tauresa ttauresa she said it under pressure with out an attorney in an interrogation it makes a lot of sense after watching this whole video the baby was stillborn and there was No evidence of burning, she only admitted to it because she was under pressure and the police wouldn’t take the true story that skylar at told over 20 times to them and they refused to believe it than after she confesses to something that never happened and (physical evidence proved it) the doctor said no signs of trauma, meaning no burns.. the medical examiner made a mistake, she admitted that to police also. Just because someone admits to something in an interrogation doesn’t always 100% mean they did it, it was a rush to judgment by police and medical examiner.
Stephanie IF there was evidence of skull fractures, that would’ve been the first thing the Prosecutor would have said in opening statements. But of course, let’s listen to the press. Here’s a novel idea, let’s listen to the evidence at trial before we make a decision to this girl’s guilt or innocence.
This entire case is sad, but one thing that stands out to me is the defense attorney calls her skylar but the state refers to her as Brooke. Someone please explain this to me. Thanks 🙏
I understand why the jury did what they did- but my one question that doubts the defense is: if she didn’t know truly that she was pregnant or really found out in April she wouldn’t have known that that one guy was the father. She wouldn’t have known or suspected her current boyfriend. You don’t stay pregnant a year. Even a young kid knows that. So that is the one thing the prosecutor should have made clear in their arguments. But she was smart and there was no way to tell anything about her baby.
Yes. It's one of many tactics police use to "become one with" the criminal. It's used to give the criminal a sense of, "you can tell us", "we care", "we know you aren't a bad person". In essence, it's one way to get them to open up.
@@potr6480 oh absolutely. I agree with you. BUT, it's their job. It's what they are trained to do. They can LEGALLY lie in an interrogation, in order to get you to talk. Is it wrong? Sure. But law says they can! What happens if we lie??? We can be charged with "obstruction of justice" (if the lie is made in the investigative stages), "perjury" (if the lie is signed & sworn to, or if it's done in court) etc...... It's ridiculous!
The defense keeps bringing up that she didn't look pregnant. It does happen. With my oldest daughter I didn't look pregnant. I wore my size 9 jeans my whole pregnancy. She was measured 4 weeks behind what they said I was. My daughter was small but healthy.
I agree she should have known better. However, her mother was a monster and terrified her. Her mother made it impossible for Sjylar to go to her for help. The mother is more at fault.
Yes Diana, so true, small small town ( or what they said) and the mother ( wow, i just heard myself defend her too!-- i hope she lives up to what she did) **She could have put it on a doorstep, anything
@@teresathayn5170 lack of education is no reason not to punish her either. The road is not paved for people to do their own thing? Where would we be if no one took responsibility?
Defense attorney clearly doesn’t realize Annabelle is the name of a a demented evil monster girl Doll in a movie.....it’s not some sweet name Skylar gave her poor stillborn baby.....she might as well have named the baby Chuckie!
The defense is good, he injects enough doubt because it is totally plausible that she had the baby stillborn. It would be a crazy coincidence, but plausible. It may account for the reason the crying baby didn't wake the house hold and why she was happy, because she possibly didn't have to go though with aborting/killing part. Will the prosecution have an expert doctor testify that her stillborn story has cracks?
I was a year younger than she when I had my baby and yes I was terrified. Scared about what my parents would think, scared about everything but one thing is for sure, I would never give birth and bury my baby in the back lawn
4:15 Defense Attorney doesn’t make any sense here....Attorney says a Dr’s biggest fear is patients who measure too small by 2 weeks or more....this is useless information because the Dr assumed she is 32 weeks pregnant based on fundal height. He doesn’t know she was actually 37-39 weeks along....so really no point in mentioning how an OBGYN’s biggest fear is measuring too small for gestational age....we know that she was truly at full term because the baby was full term, not pre- term.
It takes a very special person to be a defense Lawyer…very difficult work…especially if they KNOW their client is guilty (not saying that about this case) it’s just got to be a hard job.
The defence lawyer is talking rubbish . I was as small as she was at full term and my baby wasn’t growth restricted . Some women are just small . Also you can clearly see shes pregnant in the prom photo .
Opening statements, all about what detectives said. I guess that's the way detectives do it! I didn't think they were abusive at all. Some detectives are brutal.
Hey girlfriend!!! Told you we'd meet up in another trial! 😄 Anyway, because once your 18, that's how the law works. She doesn't get to have mommy & daddy hold her hand when she made an adult decision.
The media and police lie to the public. They say that, if you are innocent, you have nothing to hide. Not talking makes you appear guilty. Meanwhile, cops gloss through the miranda warning like it's just words they must say. Every American should read the miranda warning and the fifth amendment to understand it. If you are innocent, you can talk to the cops with a lawyer present to protect you from answering in any way that can be misconstrued. All parents should teach their pre-teens this.
@@1962pjh EVERYONE should listen to this person's advice!!! Even if you are innocent, police will take your words and misconstrue them to make you like like the guiltiest person on earth. Police have gotten innocent people to confess to things they never did. Screw the world's opinion on, "if you're innocent, you don't need an attorney". YES YOU DO! (The world will NOT be protecting you when that door to the interrogation room closes). This day & age, the way the police work, trust NO ONE but yourself! Period.
She found out she was pregnant the doctors told her and sent her mother a email stating she was pregnant so the mother knew also and because it was too late for a abortion you think she would go out and start buying baby cloths, bottles etc and preparing for the birth but instead she googled "how to get rid of a baby" and continued to keep her plans to go to prom knowing she was pregnant smiling in her prom dress knowing she was squashing a baby into that tight dress, she had already planned the disposal of the baby before she went to the prom, that's pre meditated murder....
C'mon she didn't care one iota for this child. She didn't take care of herself, didn't get medical help the whole time she was pregnant, & at the doctor she said she could never have this kid. I don't believe one minute she named this child. She didn't care.
Why did she wait 8 months to find out? She could’ve made an appointment to be tested without her mom knowing. She didn’t have to tell her. Could’ve just taken a shoppers test if she’s that afraid
It's sad that the prosecutor is trying to make it seem like the police is suppose to tell the suspect the truth and help them out! WRONG! They are there to solve a crime. You my dear committed a crime, they lied to get your psycho ass to confess. Welcome to the real world. Even if the child was still born (which it wasn't) you should have called the police. You did not and therefore your have to pay the consciences!!!!!!!
Guess what. I was a tiny 110lb 14 years old, 14!, And suspected I was pregnant. I feared going to my mama but I did. My mama took me to my appt, silently sat with me before the test. I go in, test positive and am faced with having to go sit by my mama and give her the news. She said, "I need a cigarette." & Headed out to smoke. I met with all the staff, hearing abortion, adoption, blah blah blah, I was 14 & I said no. I made the baby and I will raise this baby! By the grace of God. (I am anti-abortion but definitely not anti-adoption btw) I was not raised to behave in any manner to ever be in a situation to be pregnant at 14 but I knew what I was doing. I knew how to sneak and I was responsible for this tiny little life growing inside of me. I gained only 17 lbs while pregnant. It would have been easy to deny and hide but NEVER would I have ever been so weak and so selfish as to do so! There was tiny little life inside me and I was responsible for that tiny little human and no matter the consequences, I was second place to this innocent, tiny, living heartbeat inside of me! The dad and the dad family were a no-go from the word pregnant but I didn't care! I loved this little, precious baby from the start. I would have stood for to toe with the devil for my little unborn angel! This was a gift! Not a curse! 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 100lbs, j didn't care! At age 15 I gave birth to the most beautiful tiny 6lb 10oz baby girl I have ever laid eyes upon!!!!! My mama, she became my rock! She was my rock!she supported me through my pregnancy and supported my precious blessing when she arrived! I am 46 now and look back with no regrets! I was a mommy at 15 and a successful and thriving adult thereafter! God bless my mama who was there with us through thick and thin and thank God for the blessing He chose to give me at that very moment in my life! I will never forget the love and joy I felt with hearing my baby girls heartbeat for the first time. Her first tiny little kick. Her precious face when I met her for the first time! Now my mama stood by me but my siblings and the babies daddy's family were cruel but never ever did I turn a blind eye to my responsibility, my choices, my tiny package of love. T wasn't always easy by far but I prevailed and have no regrets! That being said, I already know the outcome of this case and I am disgusted. This girl and her mama sickens me! This baby is a little angel and did not deserve a death at the hands of her own selfish mommy but I do find peace in the fact that she landed right back in the hands of Jesus, safe, sound, & joyful. This "girl" will reap what she showed in one way or another. I have no doubt. I hope she and her mom grow to the size of a beached whale and live an ugly life. To put vanity before a baby is beyond evil! And yes it is this girls fault. Not just her mom's. She wasn't knew exactly what she was doing and how she was going to do it! She wasn't a baby, she was creating a baby! She deserved to be punished and I honestly pray she never has future children for the simple reason she doesn't deserve them!
WHY are they prosecuting this poor kid?!? There's ZERO evidence of murder!! And a zealous MALE prosecutor is demonizing an already traumatized kid!! Some Men Really Suck! It's a bad situation made worse for what reason? This prosecutor's on stage, that's all. Poor kid.
Poor kid not. She was old enough to know unprotected sex can cause a pregnancy. She made the decision to conceal it. She could have had an abortion. She could have given the baby up for adoption. No she didn't she had the baby and killed her and then buried her. Poor kid not
Another spoiled privileged teenager!!! Will get off with probation and back to life as usual 🙄 sad... wonder if she was from a low income poor neighborhood 🤔 hmmmmm she would be called a monster right? PLEASE!!! Makes you wonder what her parents are like....
Skylar isn't a md! You need a Dr to get a death certificate. Women I know that have had a still born call 911 and both mother a baby go to hospital. Guilty people put other people in shallow graves. Only thing I agree here is interaction is make cop talks way to much. Most of the time they read you your rights and want a statement in your own words.
The defense is good. I tend to believe him regarding the lack of burning. I dunno....I think the prosecution has an uphill battle. Obviously what she did was horrible, but the defense is going to bring in her relationship with her mom, her food disorder, her young age etc. I have a feeling she will end up with some sort of consequence, but I doubt she'll be charged with murder.
So she doesn’t know she’s in pre labour - maybe not BUT she knew she was pregnant and in pain she should have then gone to the emergency room !! Obviously something was wrong .
This defence lawyer, is Excellent and very thorough !!!!!
Digs with all of the strength she has left give me a break she's at the gym the next day

exactly. but to some and their privilege, it makes it okay because she has an eating disorder smh. sounds familiar
exactly. she NEVER wanted tht baby and probably blamed the baby for making her "fat" and was just happy it was gone.
Wow, earlier the prosecutor had a powerful opening statement BUT now we have a defense lawyer who has an equally (or more?) powerful opening statement. This is going to be an interesting courtroom battle.
Defense killed opening
@22.33 "They tell Skylar that every time she gives them 'their' truth, they will give Skylar one bone," CRAZY!
Without physically handling the baby they can’t say anything was wrong or baby growth restricted. I carried “small” but gave birth to 7-8lb babies completely normal sized!!! Also front view pics always disguise pregnancy & she was in a corseted dress.(I can see a baby bump😳)

If the baby was born alive, the parents and brother would've heard her cry. She probably wouldn't have been able to get up straight after giving birth to silence her baby before she cried. Even though this sounds like a feminist thing to say I'm definitely not a feminist but this is a bunch of middle aged men trying to tell each other how a teenage girl felt in the hardest time of her life.
If they didn't hear her make any noise throughout labour and delivery of the baby what makes you think they would have heard the baby cry...?
One word: ADOPTION !!
Sure, but not without a few more words: easily available birth control, sex-education in school for both boys and girls, non-judgmental professional access to abortion clinics... AND education for parents on how to be supportive of their teenage daughters when they are in over their heads and feel totally alone.
Another word guilty! And two more words Life Sentence!

Blaster Master First of all the police kept telling her what to say about burning the baby to fit their theory, the baby was never burned. That has been proven. Nobody can prove whether the baby was stillborn. Yes she had an eating disorder and was terrified of her parents so she tried to hide the pregnancy, that’s not a crime!
Marked the grave with flowers? seems more like she covered it with the big flower pot to conceal that someone had been digging there.
@ Laura - that’s the exact thinking I had
Looking pregnant and being pregnant has absolutely no bearing on it whatsoever. You can deliver a healthy baby and not look pregnant it's been done so many times ~this dude can get rekt.
Who cares if she looked pregnant? She knew she was pregnant! And honestly that whole slide show/ fashion show of pictures means and proves nothing! Nothing except that she liked to dress up in tiny swim suits and pretty prom dresses. Which honestly shows if anything more reasons why she must have hated that baby. It was ruining her perfect body! He said she cried not the baby! Seriously like anyone believes that! If she cried it was tears of joy! Thank god it was over! Now time to tighten up that belly and pick out a new bikini!
@@tynadarco3416 EXACTLY the point. Can you imagine? Killing your baby! I can see her doing it after watching the interviews yesterday. She kept saying I didn't mean to and then I didn't hurt her. DISGUSTING. She didn't fool me with that "I'm sorry I'm sorry" & "mommy mommy" BS..I wanted to slap the snot outta her.

Did he just laugh and smirk when he made the mistake of saying the baby cried?
G. Vleck oh my god I caught that too and legit got nauseas hearing it. He had a great opening but that few seconds was awful!

Thank you, Donna!
I think he meant Skylar cried and wanted to make SURE to clarify that!🤷🏼♀️
i can see how it would be a funny place to mess up. As the defence you would get desensitized to the gore of the case
Skylar delivered a baby, buried it in the backyard and continued on with her life. You don't get a pass for what she did. She definitely needs to face consequences. No get out jail free card here.
Nicole Cox Newton I suspect her mother will stand up mid trial and say she did it all. Worst case it'll be a mistrial. Best case she'll walk
@@feralchicken2376 good one! Do you write scripts? Cause I think I've seen or read this
From what I know stillborn babies don’t cry or make any sound. She says the baby gurgled a little and then cried. This baby imo was 💯 alive
@@MsStephanieJane31 she said that after admitting to the impossible lighter cremation. Everything after the literal false admission of burning, is void
She needs to be in jail to think about the awful and terrible decisions she has made! I’m done with these people! Grow the hell up! Be a good human and honestly, you gotta be kidding me with this crap
Sara Cooper AMEN to that!!!!!! Be a human....not a monster. It’s doesn’t take much to be a good person and make responsible decisions. It’s a shame that so many people these days are shitty humans.
The perfect little white rich girl not only pregnant but pregnant with a biracial child? Her mother must be a real piece of work...
Feral Chicken I’m not sure the baby was biracial. The boyfriends hands look like he was white to me.
Defense was brilliant BUT....doesn't fly with me!
And me
Usually defense attorneys come off as very smarmy. So far, I don't hate this guy.
It’s disgusting to hear this guys deviate the blame to everyone else for the horrific actions that demonic woman committed. She’s a murderer and she better get ready to spend the rest of her pathetic life in prison where she belongs.
Nut case !! All you freaks !!!!
@@evanb0869 they can not convict if there is no evidence lady ! Duh !!!! Judgement day will come for you as well ! Stone thrower ! Bet you feet are cut up from the glass !
So my question is...after delivering her child , WHY DIDNT SHE CALL 911? Instead... she buried the child annabelle.
Sandee, she named the baby??
Guarantee you that child had NO NAME whatsoever! UNTIL she was charged. It's a defense tactic to show emotion and attachment "with" the child. See folks, she even named the baby. Clearly she had love for this baby....... See how much better it looks???
Also, why call 911???? We are talking about a girl who was taking this secret to HER grave! Screw the baby! In her mind, the whole world revolves around her. Her image & her reputation. Period.
@@suzannemix2528 yes...baby annabelle.
@@nikkib5753 I do agree on EVERYTHING you mention!
Hate to say it, but defense prevailed in the opening.
Why is prosecution referring to her as Brooke and Defense is calling her Skylar?
This defense lawyer is good!!! He is definitely going to give the prosecution a run for their money!!! He definitely is already laying into the prosecution!!! Mom and dad hired her a very good defense team!!!
Yeah of course little rich girl has the best attorney $$ can buy to murder her baby
This girl is coldddddd
Defense atty is so handsome. Does anyone see Skylar's mom in court?
Agreed!!!! plus he is quick on his feet...brainy dudes are hot✌😋
wow are people this shallow
She looks pregnant in that red dress, both pics. Denial is not a river in Egypt
Does it even matter if she “looked pregnant”? She gave birth to a live baby then killed her in some type of demonic way.
@@JCP58 Hoping for more pics and maybe some side view...
@@JCP58 Demonic? Nope. A human being did it. A human made the choice to hide the pregnancy and either hide a stillbirth or kill the baby. Humans are capable of evil all on their own.
Thank you for saying that you could tell right away in that dress somebody had to question it now I know they were a little rich and I'm sorry rich people are clearly freaking stupid the uncle came out and said what this has done to the family the embarrassment is that what you really freaking say
As IF she named the baby bet the defense team came up with Annabell
Actually, the name was mentioned in the interrogation
👀
My whole full term pregnancy LIVE birth you couldn’t tell I was pregnant. My son was 7 pounds 7 ounces 21 inches long. I was 5’7 130 pounds gained 40 pounds, I just looked like I gained weight. I carried my son towards my back. She could have secretly went to the drs, she could have faked a illness when she went into labor and she could have gave the baby up in a closed adoption,went home and celebrated having her stomach back. She murdered that baby either way still born or live birth. When they told her she was pregnant and refused to get any form of help that’s when she became guilty in my book. IF my daughter gets pregnant unplanned (she’s responsibly on birth control)she knows she can come to us and we will figure it out together. Her parents failed her and they are guilty too. Shame on them for making her not able to go to them in a important serious situation!
Never heard of them ever playing interrogations during opening statements
Omg, I saw the prosecution try a whole case in opening. I think it was Sean foley.
This is horrific & so sad! How do people think that killing a baby is the answer, if that's what she did? How does it get to the stage where u can't tell ur mother or father ur pregnant? When my daughter was 16/17 she fell pregnant, she was scared to tell me & told me via txt after she left in a taxi lol..I surprised her by saying we'll get through this & I was there to support her.
Growing up in an abusive home can do that to people sadly.
It doesn't matter how much her weight fluctuated, a pregnant woman feels movement early in the second trimester. She didn't need a doctor to tell her she was pregnant.
She named her and then killed her. Even more sick. She didn't throw her in a trash can or a dumpster. She could've taken her to a hospital or anywhere else.
I hope Annabelle haunts her for the rest of her life.
But did she name her then or after she was charged? Hmm...
Note to Expecting Millennials:
Browsing baby name books? Not Skyler.
There's already a flood of Skylars. Too late.
It’s quite possible that a Richardson one might join a Neese one on the list of convicted inmate Skylers. Maybe more probable, than remotel possible.
Neese was a murder victim stabbed to death July 5 2013 Google the case it is horrific
Just’n Casers Skylar Neese was murdered. She wasn’t a killer let alone a convicted one.
Look I personally know more than anyone, pregnancy isn't hard to hide. ESPECIALLY in a teenager. Big t-shirt, pants. No big deal whatsoever. I never showed my entire pregnancy, AND I wanted to. I never got to buy maternity clothes. And I was tiny. I weighed 104 ON MY DELIVERY DAY. I delivered a healthy baby. Period!
Nikki B yep my bf hid a pregnancy for 7 months at age 15, it was actually me that discovered it, me that told my mum and my mum had to inform her father, her mum had left her when she was 3.
I also worked with a girl whose daughter worked at McDonald’s and got Pregnant by one of the other team members, she concealed her pregnancy and work colleagues told her mum that she was in labour... it was amazing, her mum was amazing, she had a crazy afternoon buying everything for baby before discharge home
@@Melissasuzie wow that is crazy!!! I will say I was 27 at the time I got pregnant. I wasn't trying to hide it from anyone but I was so tiny people could not believe I was pregnant. I would think if your tiny your gonna show even more. Nope. I know first hand, it's not the case! Was your best friend ok with what you did? Did you stay best friends?
Nikki B the really odd one was my friend, as of course I was right in the thick of it, her middle had rounded but only a little chubby ness, within a fortnight of it coming out her belly just popped out and she looked her full 7 months pregnant. It was crazy, when they went to see the Doctor her dad told the doctor she must only be a few weeks along, after abdominal exam it’s was determined that she was actually 7 months
This opening argument is awesome.
So, wait up, at 16:29, the defence lawyer makes a statement from Dr Murray who "WE'RE NOT GONNA HEAR FROM...."......... What's that all about. That's 'HEARSAY'. How are these photos and statements allowed to be made in an opening statement without the opportunity for the opposition to challenge??????????? I don't get it.
Yeah, those were my thoughts too.
11:29 “ with all the strength she has left...” Defense Attorney trying to make us believe that she is weak and exhausted after giving birth but still finds the ability to go outside and compassionately bury her baby in a spot she can “ see from her bedroom window,” and then again finds the strength to move a big pot of flowers so her baby has flowers on her unmarked grave.....ridiculous considering she went to the gym and worked out just hours after giving birth so clearly she isn’t that weak and exhausted ....come On! !
You don't understand eating disorders, abusive parents, or what it's like for children to grow up feeling helpless to escape- sometimes without even knowing on a conscious level that your parent is abusive towards you.
@@Alex-ws4xh She MURDERED her baby.
As a mother. We know. My mum knew when my sis was pregnant before my sis had test. Morning sickness was a give away too
I usually don’t like most defense attorneys, however these guys are legitimately AWESOME.
She tried from start to finish to not look pregnant and callously get rid of any evidence
Prosacution has big problems in this case !!!!!!
I agree
She was an anorexic and that plays into it. I can’t imagine the dr. knowing this did not immediately talk to parents or call her psychiatrist or a psychiatrist with experience in anorexia. The anorexic patient will starve themselves and thus starve the baby. I have helped anorexic patients. Hearing the mother cheering her on to losing weight is shocking but I have seen mothers of anorexics do this in my presence. When no one knew anything about anorexia a lay person in Canada who had 2 anorexic daughters who she helped recover opened up the 1st place to help them she was overwhelmed with desperate patients both male and female. She came up with life saving ways to manage them & help them and weighed them backwards. I had a mother with a daughter who had gotten better visit her and then I realized why the girl was so obsessive with her eating. I told the mother you must stop the calorie counting and quit telling her what foods and drinks she cannot have, let her drink an occasional soda and never ever say they have too many calories. I asked for a coke because I was watching how they interacted and the mom said we don’t drink pop, too many calories. And I said I am having a coke and so is your daughter. Aspartame in your diet drink is horrible for you. I agree sodas are not good because of the acid, and the caramel coloring, but an occasional one won’t kill you. And when I go out with your daughter she eats a regular meal and enjoys it. You have to learn how you affect her. And stop doing it. Unless you want her to die. So I cannot understand why a dr. would tell an anorexic teenager with a mental illness with a severe eating disorder would be alright and why he did not develop a plan with a psychologist or better a psychiatrist and a team to help her. There is always an underlying reason in their family history why they get an eating disorder. This child has had it since she was very young. It all could have been prevented.
She was 18. A legal adult.
Am I missing her mother in the gallery or is she not there? I see her Dad behind her.
I swear, I am going to start standing in front of the courtroom doors and sell individual cough drops to the folks going into the courtroom....could make a fortune on these courtroom coughers.
Also some wd40 - there is always a squeaky chair too lol
Defense counsel speaks to the high, valuable merit of "context." He proceeeds to employ flash moments from an interrogation, fused with incorrect quotes and quick cuts that efficiently buries any and all respect they have for critical 'context'.
the first interrogation is always the first attempt to stay out of trouble. Lies are told on the first interview by killers, that's common sense. all detectives play friend to get the truth. I love how they are making an investigation seem so unnatural. smh. Doctors do not "ask" if they can take a pregnancy test for birth control, it is required.
Hiding/lying equals guilt.
Actually I take that back. She could have just been terrified to tell anyone, especially her mom. She seems like a real piece of (superficial) work.
That's a crazy statment ! You know nothing yet !!! You people judge but know nothing ! Nasty freaks you are !!!
I had a child at 16 and I never wanted to be pregnant or have kids but I grew up fast and took on the responsibility of being a young mother and I would never fathom killing my baby.
i worked on a gynae ward, ive seen people give birth not knowing they were pregnant and without looking pregnant, ive looked after a young girl who came in with heavy bleeding, examined by a doctor who didnt know what was going on with her so she was prepped for theatre and when she returned to the ward he stated he 'thought' she had recently had a baby, police eventually found a deceased full term baby in her wardrobe, NO ONE realised she was pregnant....mum, dad, boyfriend, they were really shocked...she had severe mental health problems, and had totally blocked it out (she didnt try to burn the baby though!) the baby had apparently taken a breath so she was arrested, very sad
Amazing defense attorney, I think they have a good chance with this case by the look of just this opening video. Still have to watch the rest. If the baby was born stillborn and the medical examiner really was wrong about the burned bones than, the interrogation and them making her vulnerable to confessing to what didn’t even happen, makes this case very interesting.. I think the jury has a lot to think about already
She told police she burned the baby
tauresa ttauresa she said it under pressure with out an attorney in an interrogation it makes a lot of sense after watching this whole video the baby was stillborn and there was No evidence of burning, she only admitted to it because she was under pressure and the police wouldn’t take the true story that skylar at told over 20 times to them and they refused to believe it than after she confesses to something that never happened and (physical evidence proved it) the doctor said no signs of trauma, meaning no burns.. the medical examiner made a mistake, she admitted that to police also. Just because someone admits to something in an interrogation doesn’t always 100% mean they did it, it was a rush to judgment by police and medical examiner.
Donna Cox really? Wow, I need to pay close attention to this case, I didn’t hear that. Thank you for letting me know ❤️
Stephanie IF there was evidence of skull fractures, that would’ve been the first thing the Prosecutor would have said in opening statements. But of course, let’s listen to the press. Here’s a novel idea, let’s listen to the evidence at trial before we make a decision to this girl’s guilt or innocence.
Donna Cox You don’t have a job, do you? You have way too much time on your hands to watch videos and comment incessantly on RUclips.
This entire case is sad, but one thing that stands out to me is the defense attorney calls her skylar but the state refers to her as Brooke. Someone please explain this to me. Thanks 🙏
Skylar is her middle name, Brooke her first name but the people who know her personally call her by her middle name Skylar
I understand why the jury did what they did- but my one question that doubts the defense is: if she didn’t know truly that she was pregnant or really found out in April she wouldn’t have known that that one guy was the father. She wouldn’t have known or suspected her current boyfriend. You don’t stay pregnant a year. Even a young kid knows that. So that is the one thing the prosecutor should have made clear in their arguments. But she was smart and there was no way to tell anything about her baby.
I'm confused as to why the defense can show evidence during the opening statement. That's like trying the case with no due process. I don't get it.
22:07 Is that a cop touching her holding her hand?
yes and sooo disingenuous
Yes. It's one of many tactics police use to "become one with" the criminal. It's used to give the criminal a sense of, "you can tell us", "we care", "we know you aren't a bad person". In essence, it's one way to get them to open up.
@@nikkib5753 and proves you cannot trust a cop they will say anything and they follow the same crap every time.
@@potr6480 oh absolutely. I agree with you. BUT, it's their job. It's what they are trained to do. They can LEGALLY lie in an interrogation, in order to get you to talk. Is it wrong? Sure. But law says they can! What happens if we lie??? We can be charged with "obstruction of justice" (if the lie is made in the investigative stages), "perjury" (if the lie is signed & sworn to, or if it's done in court) etc...... It's ridiculous!
Many mothers give birth full term without showing (having a baby belly) and doesn’t mean they have a growth problem.
The defense keeps bringing up that she didn't look pregnant. It does happen. With my oldest daughter I didn't look pregnant. I wore my size 9 jeans my whole pregnancy. She was measured 4 weeks behind what they said I was. My daughter was small but healthy.
I agree she should have known better. However, her mother was a monster and terrified her. Her mother made it impossible for Sjylar to go to her for help. The mother is more at fault.
In today’s world thereare so many choices.what she did was not one of thosechoices
Yes Diana, so true, small small town ( or what they said) and the mother ( wow, i just heard myself defend her too!-- i hope she lives up to what she did)

Teresa Thayn That’s not a reason to do what she did education or not people know wrong from right I.J.S
@@teresathayn5170 not ONLY is there an ABUNDANCE of education nowadays, she absolutely knew what she was doing. That baby had zero chance.
Defense attorney clearly doesn’t realize Annabelle is the name of a a demented evil monster girl Doll in a movie.....it’s not some sweet name Skylar gave her poor stillborn baby.....she might as well have named the baby Chuckie!
The defense is good, he injects enough doubt because it is totally plausible that she had the baby stillborn. It would be a crazy coincidence, but plausible. It may account for the reason the crying baby didn't wake the house hold and why she was happy, because she possibly didn't have to go though with aborting/killing part. Will the prosecution have an expert doctor testify that her stillborn story has cracks?
It can’t of been stillborn she said she saw it move and it gurgled
I wonder if they will have jim trainum as a witness
I was a year younger than she when I had my baby and yes I was terrified. Scared about what my parents would think, scared about everything but one thing is for sure, I would never give birth and bury my baby in the back lawn
4:15 Defense Attorney doesn’t make any sense here....Attorney says a Dr’s biggest fear is patients who measure too small by 2 weeks or more....this is useless information because the Dr assumed she is 32 weeks pregnant based on fundal height. He doesn’t know she was actually 37-39 weeks along....so really no point in mentioning how an OBGYN’s biggest fear is measuring too small for gestational age....we know that she was truly at full term because the baby was full term, not pre- term.
It takes a very special person to be a defense
Lawyer…very difficult work…especially if they KNOW their client is guilty (not saying that about this case) it’s just got to be a hard job.
The defence lawyer is talking rubbish . I was as small as she was at full term and my baby wasn’t growth restricted . Some women are just small . Also you can clearly see shes pregnant in the prom photo .
Opening statements, all about what detectives said. I guess that's the way detectives do it! I didn't think they were abusive at all. Some detectives are brutal.
Her attorney called her a ypung teenager..wrong..she was 18..please.
This girl looks like a doppelganger for a girl I used to hook up with in high school It's so close it's scary
Why would she talk to police without her parents or an attorney 🤷🏼♀️
Age
Hey girlfriend!!! Told you we'd meet up in another trial! 😄 Anyway, because once your 18, that's how the law works. She doesn't get to have mommy & daddy hold her hand when she made an adult decision.
The media and police lie to the public. They say that, if you are innocent, you have nothing to hide. Not talking makes you appear guilty. Meanwhile, cops gloss through the miranda warning like it's just words they must say. Every American should read the miranda warning and the fifth amendment to understand it. If you are innocent, you can talk to the cops with a lawyer present to protect you from answering in any way that can be misconstrued. All parents should teach their pre-teens this.
@@1962pjh EVERYONE should listen to this person's advice!!! Even if you are innocent, police will take your words and misconstrue them to make you like like the guiltiest person on earth. Police have gotten innocent people to confess to things they never did. Screw the world's opinion on, "if you're innocent, you don't need an attorney". YES YOU DO! (The world will NOT be protecting you when that door to the interrogation room closes). This day & age, the way the police work, trust NO ONE but yourself! Period.
Most people make that mistake. Even if you're indent, never talk to police without an attorney. Actually, especially if you're innocent.
Awe such a pretty name *Annabelle *..poor baby
When your pregnant don't you get that brown line going to your belly button or was that just me?
Not everyone. Still she could have had that and denied.

@@donnacox8541 million dollar question..... who named her?
18 years is plenty of time to become a responsible adult.
i'm no expert or anything but if she burn the body i think thats why her body was skeletonized so fast.
i said i'm no expert, your right
I'm confused. Prosecution called her brooke Richardson. Defense is calling her Skylar...
She found out she was pregnant the doctors told her and sent her mother a email stating she was pregnant so the mother knew also and because it was too late for a abortion you think she would go out and start buying baby cloths, bottles etc and preparing for the birth but instead she googled "how to get rid of a baby" and continued to keep her plans to go to prom knowing she was pregnant smiling in her prom dress knowing she was squashing a baby into that tight dress, she had already planned the disposal of the baby before she went to the prom, that's pre meditated murder....
What about the placenta?She must have had to deliver that after Annabelle.
C'mon she didn't care one iota for this child. She didn't take care of herself, didn't get medical help the whole time she was pregnant, & at the doctor she said she could never have this kid. I don't believe one minute she named this child. She didn't care.
Why did she wait 8 months to find out? She could’ve made an appointment to be tested without her mom knowing. She didn’t have to tell her. Could’ve just taken a shoppers test if she’s that afraid
So it’s ok
annie lane
Thank you!!!
The fact is she didn’t even try to find a way for the baby dead or alive.
She prob named her Annabell because of the movie
lorisky Thompson right lol 😂
Exactly.. but I'm sure she didnt even name her. Probably picked it for trial. Trying to make her look less monstrous.
Not working
The fact that he is debating that her not being familiar with pregnancy justifies what she did is sickening.
Is compassion dead? This poor young woman should have been given counselling and allowed to carry on with her life.
She killed a baby, you cannot just walk around killing babies and then have nothing happen. I mean what did you expect to happen here?
What a stupid comment
@@evanb0869 You have no proof the baby was alive when she was born.
It's sad that the prosecutor is trying to make it seem like the police is suppose to tell the suspect the truth and help them out! WRONG! They are there to solve a crime. You my dear committed a crime, they lied to get your psycho ass to confess. Welcome to the real world. Even if the child was still born (which it wasn't) you should have called the police. You did not and therefore your have to pay the consciences!!!!!!!
How do you KNOW that the baby was born alive? Were you there?
Guess what. I was a tiny 110lb 14 years old, 14!, And suspected I was pregnant. I feared going to my mama but I did. My mama took me to my appt, silently sat with me before the test. I go in, test positive and am faced with having to go sit by my mama and give her the news. She said, "I need a cigarette." & Headed out to smoke.
I met with all the staff, hearing abortion, adoption, blah blah blah, I was 14 & I said no. I made the baby and I will raise this baby! By the grace of God. (I am anti-abortion but definitely not anti-adoption btw) I was not raised to behave in any manner to ever be in a situation to be pregnant at 14 but I knew what I was doing. I knew how to sneak and I was responsible for this tiny little life growing inside of me.
I gained only 17 lbs while pregnant. It would have been easy to deny and hide but NEVER would I have ever been so weak and so selfish as to do so! There was tiny little life inside me and I was responsible for that tiny little human and no matter the consequences, I was second place to this innocent, tiny, living heartbeat inside of me! The dad and the dad family were a no-go from the word pregnant but I didn't care! I loved this little, precious baby from the start. I would have stood for to toe with the devil for my little unborn angel! This was a gift! Not a curse! 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 100lbs, j didn't care!
At age 15 I gave birth to the most beautiful tiny 6lb 10oz baby girl I have ever laid eyes upon!!!!! My mama, she became my rock! She was my rock!she supported me through my pregnancy and supported my precious blessing when she arrived! I am 46 now and look back with no regrets! I was a mommy at 15 and a successful and thriving adult thereafter! God bless my mama who was there with us through thick and thin and thank God for the blessing He chose to give me at that very moment in my life!
I will never forget the love and joy I felt with hearing my baby girls heartbeat for the first time. Her first tiny little kick. Her precious face when I met her for the first time! Now my mama stood by me but my siblings and the babies daddy's family were cruel but never ever did I turn a blind eye to my responsibility, my choices, my tiny package of love. T wasn't always easy by far but I prevailed and have no regrets!
That being said, I already know the outcome of this case and I am disgusted. This girl and her mama sickens me! This baby is a little angel and did not deserve a death at the hands of her own selfish mommy but I do find peace in the fact that she landed right back in the hands of Jesus, safe, sound, & joyful. This "girl" will reap what she showed in one way or another. I have no doubt. I hope she and her mom grow to the size of a beached whale and live an ugly life. To put vanity before a baby is beyond evil! And yes it is this girls fault. Not just her mom's. She wasn't knew exactly what she was doing and how she was going to do it! She wasn't a baby, she was creating a baby! She deserved to be punished and I honestly pray she never has future children for the simple reason she doesn't deserve them!
“Urge to urinate”=water broke.
Also seriously Annabelle? That name of all names ??( Horror movie)
WHY are they prosecuting this poor kid?!? There's ZERO evidence of murder!! And a zealous MALE prosecutor is demonizing an already traumatized kid!! Some Men Really Suck! It's a bad situation made worse for what reason? This prosecutor's on stage, that's all. Poor kid.
Oh please ...
Poor kid not. She was old enough to know unprotected sex can cause a pregnancy. She made the decision to conceal it. She could have had an abortion. She could have given the baby up for adoption. No she didn't she had the baby and killed her and then buried her. Poor kid not
Another spoiled privileged teenager!!! Will get off with probation and back to life as usual 🙄 sad... wonder if she was from a low income poor neighborhood 🤔 hmmmmm she would be called a monster right? PLEASE!!! Makes you wonder what her parents are like....

This is a public shaming! It's a freaking circus! For shame!!
You should be shamed after burying your baby instead of calling 911
Skylar isn't a md! You need a Dr to get a death certificate. Women I know that have had a still born call 911 and both mother a baby go to hospital. Guilty people put other people in shallow graves. Only thing I agree here is interaction is make cop talks way to much. Most of the time they read you your rights and want a statement in your own words.
She didn't want mommy to know
maybe she was sobbing because she knew she could not hid her secret anymore.
It's a good try by the defense but why is she trying to have a baby in secret if she wants it to live?
How does that police officer sleep at night? I get that they want the truth, but to do and say what he said to her!! Am disgusted
The defense is good. I tend to believe him regarding the lack of burning. I dunno....I think the prosecution has an uphill battle. Obviously what she did was horrible, but the defense is going to bring in her relationship with her mom, her food disorder, her young age etc. I have a feeling she will end up with some sort of consequence, but I doubt she'll be charged with murder.
So she doesn’t know she’s in pre labour - maybe not BUT she knew she was pregnant and in pain she should have then gone to the emergency room !! Obviously something was wrong .
Are you for real DA? Not realistic!
