I would say he seems like a very caring doctor. I don't think he wants to testify against her. He sounds like he is trying low key to say she was a teen in shock.
From the comments I expected him to be a complete bumbling embarrassment but I think he did fine. It's not everyday you have to testify in a potential murder case, or at the very least, that one of your patients gave birth and then buried her baby.
You can tell this doctor is torn... When he said he delivered Skylar, he sounded like he was going to tear up...Trials are so hard on folks who are just trying to do their jobs...
@@weeannie495 Yeah, like Baden and Wecht contradicting each other all the time!! What gets me is the ME's in these cases! Having to tell jurors about horrific injuries to a child has to be devastating!
MaryLynn that’s not true! Yes a small handful of doctors don’t care about their patients, but Lots of doctors do care about there patients especially family doctors that see patients regularly throughout the years
I just started watching this trial so I don’t know all the details but I was once young, pregnant & scared to death. I was the daughter of a pastor, raised in a very strict household. Obviously I didn’t kill my baby but I hid the pregnancy until I was 6 months. It was a very difficult time but my family & I made it through & I couldn’t imagine my life without my son. If you are young and scared and pregnant, I can tell you things aren’t as bad as you imagine. You will have more support than you realize. Please be safe for you and your baby.
Had she not gone back to same doctor’s office for birth control only 3 months after being diagnosed as 32 weeks pregnant she may have gotten completely away with this.....wow.
My first daughter was stillborn....it was absolutely devastating and I couldn’t function or think ....not just for that day or week but for months....there is definitely no way I would have been able to go to the gym to work out that afternoon and then text my mother about how excited I was to get my belly back....
I like that both the defense and state are being very even keel, there aren't these overwhelming emotional arguments going on and the evidence and testimony is being allowed to just play out
As a medical assistant, I can tell you that we are not allowed to get emotionally involved. When you work in pediatrics you e see a lot of emotional teenagers, a lot of pregnant teens who cry. We are not supposed to get involved or ask if they’re ok. Ashley was doing her job. Leave her alone
She was 32 weeks pregnant at her first doctors appointment??? Wtf😳 What did she think was gonna happen?!? I wish people in the comments would stop defending this girls actions by saying she was too scared to tell her parents like her parents did something wrong. Her parents taught her right from wrong. She knew right from wrong. She chose to do wrong on her own. The doctors weren’t at fault, the assistants weren’t at fault. The pharmacist wasn’t at fault. The parents weren’t at fault. SKYLAR WAS AT FAULT! Skylar is young and soft spoken but she’s not stupid and she’s not a small child. She consented to sex without contraception. And she tried to throw her doctor under the bus. I feel bad for the doctor. He was super nervous and was obviously very careful with his choice of words so that he doesn’t get sued for malpractice.
Very cool seeing Erin Moriarty ( 48 hours on CBS ) in the audience. She's the blonde you can see in the back row when the defense attorney is shown talking. I love shows like 48 Hours and Dateline, so I'm having a bit of a fangirl moment. 😍😍😍 I'm looking forward to seeing this 48 Hours episode. 😃
Geeze! I would be very, very worried about this MA's competence. She misunderstands or does not understand simple vocabulary and questions. Very worrisome. Started off not understanding the questions of what capacity she works for the OB/GYN, by answering the number of years she's worked there. Later, when asked the concerns of the patient, she says the patient has goosebumps and was nervous. This is not a concern by patient, it's an observation.
If you've never been under oath, I'll tell you..... It just make you nervous..... Even though you're an innocent person answering questions you still get very nervous...
Totally agree. Her cred went out the window the moment she didn't understand the question about what she actually does. I'm now into the Dr's testimony at the 42 minute mark where he testifies that he didn't mention adoption; he suggested that relatives would raise the kid. That is a silly thing to say when you don't know the family members on an intimate basis. I don't know the laws regarding abortion in the states within the U.S. but I know that she was far past the legal limit. I just hope that in early pregnancy abortion is a) an option; and b) a doctor advises accordingly.
nothing alarming about her testimony. she was just nervous and given the situation i would be and so would you!. don't pick out irrelevant factors to make this girl innocent. The observation she made was major enough that she reported it to the doctor and the doctor remembers it.
I can't imagine not being able to tell my parents I was pregnant as a teen. I would have been scared, but I would have known they would have ended up being supportive. Sounds like she has a very narcissistic mother who was very concerned with outward appearances.
You can't tell me this mother wasn't complicit in this mess!! Can you imagine having a baby all by yourself? Especially when your family is in the same house??
@@veegee916 She could have been involved, but people who are highly motivated to hide their pregnancy are capable of superhuman things like not making a noise during childbirth. Happens all the time. They give birth in the bathroom is no one is none the wiser. Its messed up.
Agreed. Watch how that mother treats her in that room. U can tell that daughter is terrified of her mother even still at 18. Can't tell her mom nothing about her life. Her mother is a judgmental person.
She seemed awfully nervous for no real reason. It's not like she did anything wrong. She went silent on a few Qs and I wondered if her elevator actually goes to the top...
The doctor being wrong about the size doesn't change the fact that she didn't take herself back to the doctor. She killed that baby by denying it care, first of all.
Except that you don’t know this for certain without having the hard evidence and there isn’t any. Many babies under careful care of a doctor are stillborn.
I saw she was crying and upset so I offered her some water!!! Haha omg ya cause every person with snot and tears really wants some water.... Tissues honey .....tissues!
That’s all the medical assistant can do. We are not there to offer a hug or ask what’s wrong. We KNOW what’s wrong. Teenagers cry when they find out they’re pregnant
Dr William stated to the police he used his HANDs to get the measurements... For medical malpractice, the Doc is backtracking... Considering Skylar was upset and stated he can not have this baby and wanted no one to know, Why did the office not make the next day appointment right there in the office before she left. Any time I have had a male doctor, always there was a nurse who was present during the exams... @ 36:42 Doc stated he measured the baby femor however did not chart it in the medical reports...I think this medical office has some issues with their practices and testimony will reflect their need to protect themselves for any errors that made. Look forward to the forensic testimony on the babies remains
My gyno takes me in his office where I'm fully clothed and speaks to me eye to eye before he examines me. It is so refreshing to tell him my concerns when I'm not laying on a table, knees up, legs spread! When he examines me, there is ALWAYS a female in the room! And I've been going to this doctor for thirty years!! Best doctor I've ever had!!
girlygamer Skylar wasn’t at that appointment for her pregnancy. She was there for a RX for birth control. I would think that the doctor was probably shocked to find little miss Skylar pregnant. She wouldn’t allow an internal exam so he couldn’t do one. Skylar lies about her last period, pretended to be shocked she was pregnant, after her urine test came back positive he did what he could, quick measurement of stomach, got a quick ultra sound to check the babies size and heartbeat . She was not scheduled for pregnancy, the doctor told her she needed to come back for a FULL prenatal appointment. They tried to get her to follow up....Skylar refused, due to hippa laws there was nothing else he could do. Skylar could have notified someone when she was in labor...to intentionally hide the amount of pain she was in....and we mothers know that she was in PAIN...because she wanted to be able to make sure no one knew she had a baby...she smothered her baby and buried it like an unloved pet.
If the prosecutors can't prove the baby was born alive, the defendant just gets her hands slapped as punishment. One thing is for sure, defendant is a very selfish person. Puts herself ahead of everyone else in her life including her baby.
@@carolmahoney2109 I agree you don't have to prove matter of death but she showed premeditation by googling how to get rid of baby prior to giving birth.
Skylar was obsessed with her appearance /body. She is a naive little selfish woman. The pics of her wearing the same prom dress that fit through out her pregnancy make me sick.
I came back into the room I had this on in after the doctor started testifying. I thought about how serious I would have thought such a series events would have been to me at Skylar's same age. Then I realized I didn't have nearly the sense of entitlement that she does. On a visceral level, it's just unreal to be able to assume to do such an act, for most people. I agree with others who say her mother had to be in on it as well.
Oh my goodness, that Judge was going through menopause or something. Talk about testy! It got to the point that I hated when the defense would question witnesses only because the Judge was so damn hard on the witnesses. YES OR NO!
I can see straight through this Ashley woman. Pretending to be all coy. Bet she's the biggest gossip in the office! PS. I can't get over her response to the "what capacity?" question! 🙆🤷🤦😂😂😂
@Piatequila Don't make excuses for her. Lol! She said '4 years" after being asked to confirm her role at the doctors office!!! There's no excuse for that!! 🤣
The Dr. Seemed to flounder a great deal with explanations and analogies. Normally Dr's are good public speakers as it's a common thing they face from start of training to daily clinics & addressing staff. I get he was being careful not to say "I got the gestation wrong" but the way he answered questions lacked confidence hurting credibility when describing procedures. He fumbled a great deal with something that is his chosen area of expertise, I'm guessing he was a Consultant as well.
The more this goes on the more I'm stunned at the Dr's inability to answer questions competently. This is supposed to be his area of expertise and should answer without a thought. He truly has me questioning if he won his diploma from a claw machine.
It is strange to refuse to be on video when you have to give your full name and spell it? I guess to each his own... Oh my word. Terrible witness. No wonder she didn't want to show her face 😂
The doctor must be terrified this is going to ruin his practice, and his assistant didn't seem to understand some of the questions that were asked unless it was broken down in simpler terms.
The female witness isn’t an MD for those stating her testimony is poor. She’s is just a nursing assistant You can teach anybody to take a Blood pressure, other observations, and record those observations, then the patient is seen by a Doctor who interprets the one taken. Also it would have been wrong for her to question the patient, she is not there to assess the patient, just monitor
Thank you... You are spot on. Most of those types are nosey busy bodies. When I make an appt when they ask me why I want to be seen, I tell them I will wait and discuss that with the Dr. Gets them every time. I'm huge on confidential matters.
In any event she herself stated part of her job is asking the patient the purpose of their visit and if there are any specific concerns and relaying that to the Doctor...that in itself requires an ability to understand basic English...which she possibly doesn’t.
The DR is sooooo confusing and nervous.....being a DR he should know to think before he speaks and talk loud and clear...he seems to struggle to answer any question yet the other witnesses were really good...
LAW AND CRIME NETWORK is the absolute best channel for trial watching, I've been a subscriber for over 2 years now and I absolutely love being a subscriber as well as a member receiving emails from the network, staying up to date, I highly recommend this channel if you love trial watching.
I don't understand why nobody spoke to skylar more thouroghly while she was actually at the doctors office. I would have emphasized the importance of communicating with her mother, regardless of her age, because she was under their care. I would have had a nurse or a woman come in and speak with her or even suggest a hotline. It just doesn't make sense to me that they would allow her to walk out after her demeanor and then rely on phone calls and follow up appointments after that?
Also why didn't they mention adoption and safe haven laws. It seems like they didn't do any of that and I don't understand why. I'm I have finished this part yet tho so I COULD be wrong
Notice her attorney did not mention one time she searched how to get rid of a baby on the net and how does a baby at 32 weeks go from heart beat and almost full trem to dead In three days
Have you never heard of a miscarriage or stillborn? That absolutely happens. And can happen quickly. I absolutely don't agree what this girl did but don't make statements on things you apparently know nothing about. Many women lose children with no warning every single year. It is not uncommon. Some show signs some do not.
I had a friend at 34 weeks who had a full check up, a 3D sonogram and everything was going great. Two days later, she went back in, concerned because she wasn't feeling fetal movement and the pregnancy was over. Just like that. No pain. No bleeding. No sickness. No explanation.
Just getting into this case now.... Obviously she never came out with a script, never went to pick one up...I believe she went with her mother.. how did she get away with lying to mom about a script that was never given....
She lied because of how her mother is. She had nobody to open up to ( doesn't excuse what she did ) but her mother was all about appearances, her daughter had to be a specific weight, look a certain way, and pushed Skylar to constantly lose weight and eat a certain way, so I think she felt scared to tell her mother she was pregnant due to how adamant she was she look perfect. Again, absolutely no excuse for what Skylar did, and as someone who was Adopted, I think there's always another way, and she had no right to do this to her poor innocent baby, but I'm sure she felt so alone and terrified.
The more I hear the more I believe that maybe she did it on purpose, however once I learned that she repeatedly said she didn’t have to cut a cord and didn’t know what placenta was, I believe she was a clueless child! And the interrogation officers screwed up BADLY!!! They absolutely 💯 were in the wrong from the beginning!!! When the dad asked about needing a lawyer, they should have stated that he COULD if he felt he needed to & he didn’t! He told the dad NO!!! Then they came up with and fixed the “confession”!!!!
If I'm a juror, I'm starting to wonder why this girl is on trial for murder. The baby was apparently born 6-7 weeks early, with maybe umbilical cord problems, and she has consistently told everyone she was stillborn. If the coroner doesn't present clear evidence of murder, I'm going to be pissed at that DA.
This is exactly why jurors are told not to form any opinion UNTIL all the evidence has been presented from both sides. So they hopefully aren't wondering at this point.
She might not be responsible for the murder, but she was responsible for keeping it secret and not providing the baby with the necessary care that might have prevented her death. Or even if this is not the case either, she illegally buried the corpse, denying her a proper burial and still keep it a secret. I do believe she must be guilty of at least one of the charges... I am still doubting about the murder charge.
Ashley: She was crying. Prosecutor: And, then what did you do? Ashley: I offered her a cup of water. Geesh lady could you at least offer her a tissue? Perhaps one or two small words of empathy or encouragement 🤷♀️
@@Ecology0136 I couldn't agree more!!Im sure they are not making a good impression with the jury,lets hope the prosecution has better witnesses and solid evidence or this murdering succubus is gonna walk🤢🤢🤮🤮😡
@@luckie3b1g she’s a small girl she could be carrying small . I was you couldn’t tell I was pregnant at 9 months I had a healthy 7lb child . You can clearly see she’s pregnant in the prom photo
@@sarahwynn6486 I was the same. My mom took photos when I was leaving for the hospital to induce labor. People did not believe I was pregnant. I had a rough time and had hyperemesis from day one until birth. I lost 44 lbs while pregnant but had a healthy 7lbs13oz baby girl. My family bought all sorts of pink premie clothing and none of it fit lol. I spent weeks in the hospital and had to have an ERCP when my liver stopped working. My doc kept telling me the baby is healthy and getting what it needs. He was right. She is 21 now and has been the joy in my world! It's just awful what happened here. I think she felt cornered and seeing no way out she did the unthinkable. She had to live with that. Ok cannot imagine what she was thinking or going thru...
I love how the Prosecutor kept bring up the measurements but it back fired on him cause that does prove anything good for his case cause if she was measuring 32wks and she was further along the baby was not growing right and if he was right about the measurements then she had the baby early and when her lawyer got the last word and proved that point he sat down and gave the prosecutor a “haha” look. I don’t think people understand that the prosecutors has been telling “lies” to the media to where the family were getting death threats and it was proven in court by facts that a lots of what they said to the media were just assumptions and you can tell her lawyer was happy to prove him wrong in certain things. There is no law that if you give a home birth and it is born dead that you have to report it and have a proper “funeral” what do you think people did back in the day when people died and in other countries today... they just bury them or have their own “funeral” but what they are trying to do here is prove if the baby was alive or dead at birth. To be honest I like to know what law says that she can get “tampering with a corpse” if the baby was hers and was dead at brith because people can bury their loved ones the way they want to and in their yard? I have seen people have family plots in their yard of ancestors and recent love ones. I’m not saying what she did is right and I think it’s disgusting that she tried burning her baby but in a law stand put where is it wrong?
Yaya's Playhouse she didn’t try burning the baby. The bones were apparently wet, the ME thought it was charring to the bones but then they dried and and another ME looked at them and saw no signs of charring or any marks of any kind. So that was absolutely false. Just shows people actually do admit to things they didn’t do when being badgered and badgered by police and all they want is to go home and for it to stop! It’s really sad! Not saying I think she’s innocent, I think the baby was born alive honestly, but it can’t be proven so of course I can’t say for sure that’s just my opinion from all the evidence I’ve heard. But the police are so wrong for what they did in that second interview and def made them and their case look so bad!
Umm, no I can’t just “bury your loved ones in your yard” 😳 not unless u have a registered cemetery in your yard or u got through the steps to get a registered cemetery in your yard. If u have a stillborn baby in your home it absolutely has to be reported. I think it is required for an autopsy to b performed on any child under a certain age as well.
@@nataleehulingqhs7252 This is a 2 yr old comment but I was talking in the past that you use to be able to bury love ones in your yard and in some states and counties your still can to but you have to get a permit and you have to own your house not the bank.
Kind of agree with the defense attorney about not allowing “crime scene photos,” since there is no proof a crime has been committed. It’s all assumptions at this point, except for the fact, she did, indeed, bury a newborn baby, stillborn or not is undetermined. 🤷🏻♀️ The judge overruled the objection, I assume, to say the crime is what the prosecution is going to prove based on the said evidence.
Didn't she tell the police that the baby moved its arms and gurgled and cried, thats why I am not going to watch this, no one cares about this baby ya'll are as bad as that killer sitting there it's all a dam show to you.
@@lydiag6245 I watched the interrogation and I've never heard her say anything other than the baby was stillborn. Most everyone on here has watched some serious cases of child murder. I think folks do think this is a horrible tragedy but sometimes a little levity helps us to deal with the profound sadness!
@@lydiag6245 Wow!! Triggered much?? Thats kind of extreme saying ppl who watch this is just as bad as the "killer" not to mention the fact that you yourself are here leaving comments!?!? What does that say abt you???? Hypocrite,??? Idk abt others but im sure the reason most if not all of the ppl watching this is wanting justice for this poor innocent baby!! Take a deep breath n calm down.
It just seems so obvious like she did something to the baby because she told the doctor that she cannot have this baby and she could have avoided all this from happening if you would have told someone she could have been at the hospital delivering that baby I mean she was trying to cover it up that's already wrong and when the last video comes out she doesn't get anything but a slap on the wrist and that's the really messed-up...

If I was the prosecutor I would obtain record from insurance company showing the date of service with appointment showing her parents knew she was pregnant because it would show sonogram on bill
Susan Gabel the doctor was nervous because he delivered the girl. He had somewhat of a relationship with her family. And he had to be very careful with his choice of words so that he wouldn’t get sued for malpractice.
Sooo if she had been getting a reatful nights sleep and looking chipper you would feel better? Then you would critisize her on being cold! Go to the store and buy some empathy Damn! You're F'n cold!
Over the years I’ve had very good doctors that are not necessarily good communicators. Some just have the gift of communicating well and others in my mind are scientists at heart and their bedside manner is awkward.
I feel like her defense lawyer has more knowledge about how a female body works than the prosecutor but not as much as the doctor. I feel bad for the doctor cuz he's trying his best to dumb it down along with not remembering entirely, a one time visit or convo.
So let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Teen comes in for bc, ob discovers she's pregnant and it appears she didn't know she was pregnant, concluding she hasn't had any prenatal care, the ob measures her baby bump if you will, does the 1st ultra sound at a supposed 32 wks and only does a simple look see of the baby? Seriously? Regardless if he wants her to come back why not be more thorough whilst she's there in the office?! Makes little sense.
In April she would be due to have baby with in a month not ten weeks of she conceived in August. Also 32 weeks gestation also makes her due in less than 10 weeks. Can this guy not add
Ummm first girl.... I really hope she wasn’t a medical assistant because even for that position she was very lacking in common sense and basic knowledge very scary!
We’re there any visible medical conditions when you were checking her in? She was nervous and had goosebumps... ???? 🤨oops wrong rehearsed answer to wrong question lol....
WHERE IS MOMMY TODAY??? I NOTICED THAT...SKYLAR HAD...ABSOLUTELY....NO REACTION TO THE PHOTOS OF... THE BABY'S BONES...... AS THE ........PHOTOS WERE SHOWN....TO THE COURTROOM!!!!! HOW COLD THIS BIMBO IS!!!!!
@Piatequila , since you replied directly to my comment, I'll answer. Because she is young and has no experience having babies. Babies are usually born with a mucous plug. The mucous plug has to be suctioned out. Once that is done the baby can breathe. They also usually tap their foot or give their bottom a little tap to get them breathing. I'm sure she didnt know to do either of those things so I'm sure the baby never breathed. I feel she was negligent but not murderous.
What doctor writes and sends an electronic prescription without EVER seeing the patient first???? especially a NEW patient He has no idea about her own personal medical history any history of deep venous thrombosis or what particular birth-control pill would be suitable for her given her particular situation - (been in the medical profession for nearly 30 years) - should have given her prenatal vitamins that same day (samples) - and there’s never a chaperone with him during the exams??? WTH
OMG this Dr. is tap dancing the questions like crazy. Why would you do an ultrasound? Answer: to show & confirm for Skyler she was pregnant. Ugh you did a pregnancy test that already came back positive, WTH. What a horrible answer. He’s not coming off creditable at all. Super easy question & easy answer: Can the weeks someone is pregnant be off or wrong according to just a measurement, when the patient doesn’t give a consistent last period date? Answer: Absolutely. I’m waiting to hear if he talked to her about options like adoption, since she repeatedly said she couldn’t have a baby & he could tell she was in distress.
It is required to have another person in the room while actually performing the physical exam only during the exam. The Provider is not required to have a witness in the room just for a consultation.
Im pretty sure if you were sitting in his seat you wld b nervous too lol i kno i would bcuz if you say something they can take out of context then your gonna gt drilled and they trip you up. He is involved in this case where this teenager, regardless if she killed the baby or not admitted to burying it instead of calln an ambulance !! There is no way i could ever dig a hole n put a baby in it!! If i believed the baby was stillborn etc i would at least want the baby, that human being, to have a proper burial not just thrown into a hole in the ground n try to keep it a secret! I get it she was young n scared but this is on a whole other level when a person can do this! Idgaf how scared you are that is a human being its a life that she made! It just makes me sick to even think abt what that poor baby had to endure the short time it was alive!!! Pathetic pos
He's not a hired gun. Not a professional expert. His first time on the stand with cameras in his face at a murder trial of one of his patients. Duh why he is nervous. Kind of a stupid question.
The first dr prescribed them but once he found out she was pregnant he discontinued them im not sure how that is done but i wld hope the dr contacted the pharmacy he sent the script to and had them disregard that script
I believe she knew she was pg but was in denial about it n went on to the apt like she wasn't I really believe she just put it in the back of her mind n went on like it'll just go away until she went to the apt n it came out n she finally got the truth by the Dr doesn't excuse what she did someone would of loved that baby...parents really need to be open even if her mom didn't agree with her being pg she sould of guided her to do the right thing they both should pay for this babies death so 😢
Why is she being charged with murder?? It's legal for a mother to kill her baby - i.e. Abortion - up and until birth. In some states it is legal to kill a baby even after birth if the mother decides that she doesn't want it. (I'm not for abortion at all. I just think this is double-talking.)
None of what you just said is true ,first of all you need to be under 24 weeks in most cases or less ! After that the life of the mother must be at risk or the fetus is unviable!! Once a baby is born you cannot kill it lol that would be murder hence this case we are watching lol
I’m confused about how the Dr can remember what her insurance company was & her exact vitals but can’t remember using a piece of medical equipment to properly perform his job??? But bless his heart he isn’t much to speak in front of people. Lol
I would say he seems like a very caring doctor. I don't think he wants to testify against her. He sounds like he is trying low key to say she was a teen in shock.
The doctor probably sees this on a daily basis
From the comments I expected him to be a complete bumbling embarrassment but I think he did fine. It's not everyday you have to testify in a potential murder case, or at the very least, that one of your patients gave birth and then buried her baby.
He was supenaed . He's under oath.

MaryLynn that’s not true! Yes a small handful of doctors don’t care about their patients, but Lots of doctors do care about there patients especially family doctors that see patients regularly throughout the years
I just started watching this trial so I don’t know all the details but I was once young, pregnant & scared to death. I was the daughter of a pastor, raised in a very strict household. Obviously I didn’t kill my baby but I hid the pregnancy until I was 6 months. It was a very difficult time but my family & I made it through & I couldn’t imagine my life without my son. If you are young and scared and pregnant, I can tell you things aren’t as bad as you imagine. You will have more support than you realize. Please be safe for you and your baby.

As a medical assistant, I can tell you that we are not allowed to get emotionally involved. When you work in pediatrics you e see a lot of emotional teenagers, a lot of pregnant teens who cry. We are not supposed to get involved or ask if they’re ok. Ashley was doing her job. Leave her alone
Shut up
She was 32 weeks pregnant at her first doctors appointment??? Wtf😳 What did she think was gonna happen?!? I wish people in the comments would stop defending this girls actions by saying she was too scared to tell her parents like her parents did something wrong. Her parents taught her right from wrong. She knew right from wrong. She chose to do wrong on her own. The doctors weren’t at fault, the assistants weren’t at fault. The pharmacist wasn’t at fault. The parents weren’t at fault. SKYLAR WAS AT FAULT! Skylar is young and soft spoken but she’s not stupid and she’s not a small child. She consented to sex without contraception. And she tried to throw her doctor under the bus. I feel bad for the doctor. He was super nervous and was obviously very careful with his choice of words so that he doesn’t get sued for malpractice.
She wasn’t the first, nor she be the last teen in denial, just cant cope with the fact they could be pregnant.
She was young. She’s not the first nor will be the last to be in denial
Very cool seeing Erin Moriarty ( 48 hours on CBS ) in the audience. She's the blonde you can see in the back row when the defense attorney is shown talking. I love shows like 48 Hours and Dateline, so I'm having a bit of a fangirl moment. 😍😍😍 I'm looking forward to seeing this 48 Hours episode. 😃
@@donnacox8541 you're very welcome!
Nobody cares about what you like.
MaryLynn you’re stupid! Shut up!
Do you know if that episode is on RUclips?
MaryLynn Rude😡
Geeze! I would be very, very worried about this MA's competence. She misunderstands or does not understand simple vocabulary and questions. Very worrisome. Started off not understanding the questions of what capacity she works for the OB/GYN, by answering the number of years she's worked there. Later, when asked the concerns of the patient, she says the patient has goosebumps and was nervous. This is not a concern by patient, it's an observation.
If you've never been under oath, I'll tell you..... It just make you nervous..... Even though you're an innocent person answering questions you still get very nervous...
Totally agree. Her cred went out the window the moment she didn't understand the question about what she actually does. I'm now into the Dr's testimony at the 42 minute mark where he testifies that he didn't mention adoption; he suggested that relatives would raise the kid. That is a silly thing to say when you don't know the family members on an intimate basis. I don't know the laws regarding abortion in the states within the U.S. but I know that she was far past the legal limit. I just hope that in early pregnancy abortion is a) an option; and b) a doctor advises accordingly.
I noticed too.
nothing alarming about her testimony. she was just nervous and given the situation i would be and so would you!. don't pick out irrelevant factors to make this girl innocent. The observation she made was major enough that she reported it to the doctor and the doctor remembers it.
I think it was more nerves knowing it would be streamed on RUclips on top of being in the stand.
This Dr is being very careful in his answers, doesn’t want to be sued IMO
Hard to listen to him stuttering away..
Oh you know the parents are looking for a law suit
Sued for what? He didn't do anything wrong.
Who's going to sue him the judge?
Stupid comment
I can't imagine not being able to tell my parents I was pregnant as a teen. I would have been scared, but I would have known they would have ended up being supportive. Sounds like she has a very narcissistic mother who was very concerned with outward appearances.
You can't tell me this mother wasn't complicit in this mess!! Can you imagine having a baby all by yourself? Especially when your family is in the same house??
@@veegee916 She could have been involved, but people who are highly motivated to hide their pregnancy are capable of superhuman things like not making a noise during childbirth. Happens all the time. They give birth in the bathroom is no one is none the wiser. Its messed up.
Agreed. Watch how that mother treats her in that room. U can tell that daughter is terrified of her mother even still at 18. Can't tell her mom nothing about her life. Her mother is a judgmental person.

@@veegee916 is mommy dearest in the courtroom? I see only Dad.
prosecuter: "in what capacity"
MA:"4 years"
ME: 🤦♀️
THERE NEEDS TO BE A HIGHER STANDARD I MEAN...😂
She seemed awfully nervous for no real reason. It's not like she did anything wrong. She went silent on a few Qs and I wondered if her elevator actually goes to the top...
The doctor being wrong about the size doesn't change the fact that she didn't take herself back to the doctor. She killed that baby by denying it care, first of all.
Thanks foe you're input satin.
You are as stupid as everyone says you are.
Not a crime apparently to not do prenatal care or to take drugs even, not a crime.
Except that you don’t know this for certain without having the hard evidence and there isn’t any. Many babies under careful care of a doctor are stillborn.
My Lord!!!! This poor Dr IS NOT THE ONE ON TRIAL HERE 😠
He should be thoroughly looked at if his malpractice lead to any issues with her pregnancy or was neglectful.
How many times are they going to go over the same questions with Dr Andrew he has told them all these answers 100 times. Are they hard of hearing???
Im convinced that the 1st witness is very....."special" 😒😂😂😂
She didn't understand "in what capacity" whoa
Or "demeanor" 🤣🙈
Stupid ass. She's not taking my blood pressure. She's probably one that fakes it.
4 years!!
I saw she was crying and upset so I offered her some water!!! Haha omg ya cause every person with snot and tears really wants some water.... Tissues honey .....tissues!
That’s all the medical assistant can do. We are not there to offer a hug or ask what’s wrong. We KNOW what’s wrong. Teenagers cry when they find out they’re pregnant
Dr William stated to the police he used his HANDs to get the measurements... For medical malpractice, the Doc is backtracking... Considering Skylar was upset and stated he can not have this baby and wanted no one to know, Why did the office not make the next day appointment right there in the office before she left. Any time I have had a male doctor, always there was a nurse who was present during the exams... @ 36:42 Doc stated he measured the baby femor however did not chart it in the medical reports...I think this medical office has some issues with their practices and testimony will reflect their need to protect themselves for any errors that made. Look forward to the forensic testimony on the babies remains
My gyno takes me in his office where I'm fully clothed and speaks to me eye to eye before he examines me. It is so refreshing to tell him my concerns when I'm not laying on a table, knees up, legs spread! When he examines me, there is ALWAYS a female in the room! And I've been going to this doctor for thirty years!! Best doctor I've ever had!!
@@veegee916 Thank you for stating this. I have had the same experiences and thought it was odd how this Doc handle exams alone with Pt
listen at 25:00 on
girlygamer Skylar wasn’t at that appointment for her pregnancy. She was there for a RX for birth control. I would think that the doctor was probably shocked to find little miss Skylar pregnant. She wouldn’t allow an internal exam so he couldn’t do one. Skylar lies about her last period, pretended to be shocked she was pregnant, after her urine test came back positive he did what he could, quick measurement of stomach, got a quick ultra sound to check the babies size and heartbeat . She was not scheduled for pregnancy, the doctor told her she needed to come back for a FULL prenatal appointment. They tried to get her to follow up....Skylar refused, due to hippa laws there was nothing else he could do. Skylar could have notified someone when she was in labor...to intentionally hide the amount of pain she was in....and we mothers know that she was in PAIN...because she wanted to be able to make sure no one knew she had a baby...she smothered her baby and buried it like an unloved pet.
@@joycemarie5495 regarding the appointment; exactly!
If the prosecutors can't prove the baby was born alive, the defendant just gets her hands slapped as punishment. One thing is for sure, defendant is a very selfish person. Puts herself ahead of everyone else in her life including her baby.
actually he's being extremely thorough by doing his job proving she killed the baby beyond a reasonable doubt.
@@carolmahoney2109 I agree you don't have to prove matter of death but she showed premeditation by googling how to get rid of baby prior to giving birth.
Skylar was obsessed with her appearance /body. She is a naive little selfish woman. The pics of her wearing the same prom dress that fit through out her pregnancy make me sick.
@@crazeeborg yeah you can't tell me they her mother didn't see her belly in that dress and know she wasn't just gaining weight!!
I unfortunately had a cousin yrs ago had done the same 😔
It was in fact found she killed it after it was born
I came back into the room I had this on in after the doctor started testifying. I thought about how serious I would have thought such a series events would have been to me at Skylar's same age. Then I realized I didn't have nearly the sense of entitlement that she does. On a visceral level, it's just unreal to be able to assume to do such an act, for most people. I agree with others who say her mother had to be in on it as well.
Well as long as it's on a visceral level.
Yes a normal judge
Judge from Ashley Britt MacArthur tial was exhausting.
Sweetly creeping in yes!
I didn't watch that trial, I'll have to check it out! Any specific videos to check out? Thank you in advance!

😂💯🙌🏾‼️
This 'medical assistant' Ashley Sparkman doesn't understand the question "what *capacity* are you employed in at the clinic" 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
I can see straight through this Ashley woman. Pretending to be all coy. Bet she's the biggest gossip in the office! PS. I can't get over her response to the "what capacity?" question! 🙆🤷🤦😂😂😂
Haha I had to giggle about her being the biggest gossip 😂😂
i was looking for this comment! i couldn’t believe an educated, medical professional didn’t know what that meant! 😬😬😬
@Piatequila Don't make excuses for her. Lol! She said '4 years" after being asked to confirm her role at the doctors office!!! There's no excuse for that!! 🤣
RIGHT 😂😂
Oh yes. She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer
the doctor is so nervous (understandably) he's making me nervous
The Dr. Seemed to flounder a great deal with explanations and analogies. Normally Dr's are good public speakers as it's a common thing they face from start of training to daily clinics & addressing staff. I get he was being careful not to say "I got the gestation wrong" but the way he answered questions lacked confidence hurting credibility when describing procedures. He fumbled a great deal with something that is his chosen area of expertise, I'm guessing he was a Consultant as well.
The more this goes on the more I'm stunned at the Dr's inability to answer questions competently. This is supposed to be his area of expertise and should answer without a thought. He truly has me questioning if he won his diploma from a claw machine.
He's not a hired gun.
You are a flounder
It is strange to refuse to be on video when you have to give your full name and spell it? I guess to each his own...
Oh my word. Terrible witness. No wonder she didn't want to show her face 😂
She might be nervous
And then the doctor did the same thing. I really thought he was going to throw up from nerves at several points.
😂 exactly. The doctor is nervous as heck. Must be his first time testifying.
Lol
The doctor must be terrified this is going to ruin his practice, and his assistant didn't seem to understand some of the questions that were asked unless it was broken down in simpler terms.
I always want to see Juan Martinez prosecuting when these women killers are on trial.
Agree 💯
Me too!!
Man me too he’s a badass..
She's not a killer.
Perhaps you are a killer
The female witness isn’t an MD for those stating her testimony is poor. She’s is just a nursing assistant You can teach anybody to take a Blood pressure, other observations, and record those observations, then the patient is seen by a Doctor who interprets the one taken. Also it would have been wrong for her to question the patient, she is not there to assess the patient, just monitor
Thank you... You are spot on. Most of those types are nosey busy bodies. When I make an appt when they ask me why I want to be seen, I tell them I will wait and discuss that with the Dr. Gets them every time. I'm huge on confidential matters.
She's not a nurse assistant, she a medical assistant which takes more schooling.
In any event she herself stated part of her job is asking the patient the purpose of their visit and if there are any specific concerns and relaying that to the Doctor...that in itself requires an ability to understand basic English...which she possibly doesn’t.
She’s a medical assistant, but a CNA. She had to have 12-18 months of schooling, a CNA is 6 weeks.
Not too bright, this Ashley Sparkman 😳
Ciera weatherall Is not very nice.....

LAW AND CRIME NETWORK is the absolute best channel for trial watching, I've been a subscriber for over 2 years now and I absolutely love being a subscriber as well as a member receiving emails from the network, staying up to date, I highly recommend this channel if you love trial watching.
I don't understand why nobody spoke to skylar more thouroghly while she was actually at the doctors office. I would have emphasized the importance of communicating with her mother, regardless of her age, because she was under their care. I would have had a nurse or a woman come in and speak with her or even suggest a hotline. It just doesn't make sense to me that they would allow her to walk out after her demeanor and then rely on phone calls and follow up appointments after that?
Also why didn't they mention adoption and safe haven laws. It seems like they didn't do any of that and I don't understand why. I'm I have finished this part yet tho so I COULD be wrong
Well you are not her doctor now are you?
You just sound stupid like Ms Sparkman.
In what capacity? 4 years.
She's 18 . No mommy needed at this time.
They don't chase people down to go to doctors appointments.
They obviously failed her as did her parents 😞
The lack of emotion from styler and her family is shocking
Why is no one asking if she obstructed the babies growth by what she was warring and not taking care of her pregnancy 🤰
Cosmo Yes. She hasn’t helped at anytime
because she didn't want the baby, so she killed it and thought no-one would figure it out. What a creature.

Doctor:- She broke into tears
Lawyer:- Was she crying?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know right.
No she just has goosebumps! 🤣🤣
Notice her attorney did not mention one time she searched how to get rid of a baby on the net and how does a baby at 32 weeks go from heart beat and almost full trem to dead In three days
Have you never heard of a miscarriage or stillborn? That absolutely happens. And can happen quickly. I absolutely don't agree what this girl did but don't make statements on things you apparently know nothing about. Many women lose children with no warning every single year. It is not uncommon. Some show signs some do not.
I had a friend at 34 weeks who had a full check up, a 3D sonogram and everything was going great. Two days later, she went back in, concerned because she wasn't feeling fetal movement and the pregnancy was over. Just like that. No pain. No bleeding. No sickness. No explanation.
Why would her own lawyer mention that?
This girl lied to her patents made it seems as if the doctor gave her the birth control prescription when she was pregnant.
Who cares. She walked away free today. She got a misdemeanor. Tomorrow she'll either get less than a year, or a go home free.
Just getting into this case now.... Obviously she never came out with a script, never went to pick one up...I believe she went with her mother.. how did she get away with lying to mom about a script that was never given....
She lied because of how her mother is. She had nobody to open up to ( doesn't excuse what she did ) but her mother was all about appearances, her daughter had to be a specific weight, look a certain way, and pushed Skylar to constantly lose weight and eat a certain way, so I think she felt scared to tell her mother she was pregnant due to how adamant she was she look perfect. Again, absolutely no excuse for what Skylar did, and as someone who was Adopted, I think there's always another way, and she had no right to do this to her poor innocent baby, but I'm sure she felt so alone and terrified.
The more I hear the more I believe that maybe she did it on purpose, however once I learned that she repeatedly said she didn’t have to cut a cord and didn’t know what placenta was, I believe she was a clueless child! And the interrogation officers screwed up BADLY!!! They absolutely 💯 were in the wrong from the beginning!!! When the dad asked about needing a lawyer, they should have stated that he COULD if he felt he needed to & he didn’t! He told the dad NO!!! Then they came up with and fixed the “confession”!!!!
Did what on purpose ? In what capacity? Duh
If I'm a juror, I'm starting to wonder why this girl is on trial for murder. The baby was apparently born 6-7 weeks early, with maybe umbilical cord problems, and she has consistently told everyone she was stillborn. If the coroner doesn't present clear evidence of murder, I'm going to be pissed at that DA.
Chicagocubbiegirl she wasn’t that early. She was almost full term at about 37 weeks.
This is exactly why jurors are told not to form any opinion UNTIL all the evidence has been presented from both sides. So they hopefully aren't wondering at this point.
She might not be responsible for the murder, but she was responsible for keeping it secret and not providing the baby with the necessary care that might have prevented her death. Or even if this is not the case either, she illegally buried the corpse, denying her a proper burial and still keep it a secret. I do believe she must be guilty of at least one of the charges... I am still doubting about the murder charge.
Ciara Wetherell how are you so sure about the age at this point in the trial?
However, we need to bear in mind that there is certain premeditation.
Why is the assistant being vague
@Piatequila ok
This is ridiculous this prosecutor trying to get the doctor to say what he wants him to say about how he measured.
These witnesses are so vague or don't understand the questions or is it the questions not asked correctly
It seems to me like they don't understand the questions. I'm not sure if they are so nervous they can't concentrate or what.
Perhaps it's YOu that doesn't understand.

@@sarahwynn6486 I was the same. My mom took photos when I was leaving for the hospital to induce labor. People did not believe I was pregnant. I had a rough time and had hyperemesis from day one until birth. I lost 44 lbs while pregnant but had a healthy 7lbs13oz baby girl. My family bought all sorts of pink premie clothing and none of it fit lol. I spent weeks in the hospital and had to have an ERCP when my liver stopped working. My doc kept telling me the baby is healthy and getting what it needs. He was right. She is 21 now and has been the joy in my world! It's just awful what happened here. I think she felt cornered and seeing no way out she did the unthinkable. She had to live with that. Ok cannot imagine what she was thinking or going thru...
I love how the Prosecutor kept bring up the measurements but it back fired on him cause that does prove anything good for his case cause if she was measuring 32wks and she was further along the baby was not growing right and if he was right about the measurements then she had the baby early and when her lawyer got the last word and proved that point he sat down and gave the prosecutor a “haha” look. I don’t think people understand that the prosecutors has been telling “lies” to the media to where the family were getting death threats and it was proven in court by facts that a lots of what they said to the media were just assumptions and you can tell her lawyer was happy to prove him wrong in certain things. There is no law that if you give a home birth and it is born dead that you have to report it and have a proper “funeral” what do you think people did back in the day when people died and in other countries today... they just bury them or have their own “funeral” but what they are trying to do here is prove if the baby was alive or dead at birth. To be honest I like to know what law says that she can get “tampering with a corpse” if the baby was hers and was dead at brith because people can bury their loved ones the way they want to and in their yard? I have seen people have family plots in their yard of ancestors and recent love ones. I’m not saying what she did is right and I think it’s disgusting that she tried burning her baby but in a law stand put where is it wrong?
Yaya's Playhouse she didn’t try burning the baby. The bones were apparently wet, the ME thought it was charring to the bones but then they dried and and another ME looked at them and saw no signs of charring or any marks of any kind. So that was absolutely false. Just shows people actually do admit to things they didn’t do when being badgered and badgered by police and all they want is to go home and for it to stop! It’s really sad! Not saying I think she’s innocent, I think the baby was born alive honestly, but it can’t be proven so of course I can’t say for sure that’s just my opinion from all the evidence I’ve heard. But the police are so wrong for what they did in that second interview and def made them and their case look so bad!
Umm, no I can’t just “bury your loved ones in your yard” 😳 not unless u have a registered cemetery in your yard or u got through the steps to get a registered cemetery in your yard. If u have a stillborn baby in your home it absolutely has to be reported. I think it is required for an autopsy to b performed on any child under a certain age as well.
@@nataleehulingqhs7252 This is a 2 yr old comment but I was talking in the past that you use to be able to bury love ones in your yard and in some states and counties your still can to but you have to get a permit and you have to own your house not the bank.
Kind of agree with the defense attorney about not allowing “crime scene photos,” since there is no proof a crime has been committed. It’s all assumptions at this point, except for the fact, she did, indeed, bury a newborn baby, stillborn or not is undetermined. 🤷🏻♀️ The judge overruled the objection, I assume, to say the crime is what the prosecution is going to prove based on the said evidence.
Didn't she tell the police that the baby moved its arms and gurgled and cried, thats why I am not going to watch this, no one cares about this baby ya'll are as bad as that killer sitting there it's all a dam show to you.

@@lydiag6245 no she said it might have gurgled. The baby fell into the toilet when she was in labor. She was probably in shock

@@Traceyi1000 The only comment of yours that actually makes sense and isn't rude -- good job.
So let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Teen comes in for bc, ob discovers she's pregnant and it appears she didn't know she was pregnant, concluding she hasn't had any prenatal care, the ob measures her baby bump if you will, does the 1st ultra sound at a supposed 32 wks and only does a simple look see of the baby? Seriously? Regardless if he wants her to come back why not be more thorough whilst she's there in the office?! Makes little sense.
He scheduled an appointment for a full exam, that's not what she was there for. He has other patient's to see. She did not return.
What more to do? No official ultrasound because of insurance.
He probably didn’t have room for all that in the schedule for that day, it was unexpected.

He said 10 weeks because they would induce at 42 weeks if she had not had the baby by then. He explained that in his testimony

I really wish the judge would say PLEASE go get the jury! Ugh! I think the judge is rude.
It's her fault she was supposed to go for Ultrasound that week she saw this Doctor
WHERE IS MOMMY TODAY??? I NOTICED THAT...SKYLAR HAD...ABSOLUTELY....NO REACTION TO THE PHOTOS OF...
THE BABY'S BONES......
AS THE ........PHOTOS WERE SHOWN....TO THE COURTROOM!!!!! HOW COLD THIS BIMBO IS!!!!!
Her attorneys told her exactly what to do.
You can’t be serious. She was shaking, blinking rapidly and breathing rapidly.
OMG! He is so nervous...
Ugh, this medical assistant is definitely doing CYA, and she should have alerted the doctor about her not seeming pregnant anymore.
The doctor sounds like he's related to Grover
😂😂😂
😆😆😆 that didn't occur to me until I read your comment. Now I can't un-hear it!
@@amyadams2945 I know!! 😆😂
LOL
He's really reminding me of Jim Carey playing Dr. Stefano in A Series of Unfortunate Events. At least as a close relative lol
HE KEEPS CLICKING HIS PEN(THE PROSECUTOR, MY PET PEEVE)
Lol that was driving me nuts also.
Alex Jarlson It’s definitely not as bad as Kirk Nurmi banging his pen on the lectern in Arias trial lol 😝
@@ididntknowthat059 Ramen
Writing in all caps is my pet peeve.
Physician Andrew nervous,,,, but not completely proving really competent in assessing on this visit . Documentation seems sloppy.
I feel like Skylar was very sheltered. No excuse but I dont think it was murder. I think shes very naive.
@Piatequila , since you replied directly to my comment, I'll answer. Because she is young and has no experience having babies. Babies are usually born with a mucous plug. The mucous plug has to be suctioned out. Once that is done the baby can breathe. They also usually tap their foot or give their bottom a little tap to get them breathing. I'm sure she didnt know to do either of those things so I'm sure the baby never breathed. I feel she was negligent but not murderous.
Yes definitely! My daughter is 18 and acts completely different. So much more mature!!
@@gypsyqueen411 I agree
@@gypsyqueen411 lol babies aren’t born with a mucus plug the mucus plug is what comes away from the mother before she gives birth …. Wtf lol
Why would the Dr. prescribe bc pills to her when he knew she was already pregnant?
Is she out on bond?
SHE IS ON BOND....SHE SHOULD BE SITTING IN JAIL...BECAUSE OF THE...HEINOUSNESS OF THIS CRIME!!!!!
Si
so during the exam.....did they hear a heart beat??
They didn't do an official ultrasound.
@@Traceyi1000 You don't need to do an u/s to detect a fetal heartbeat. A doppler will do.... also, a transabdominal u/s was performed.
Why do they go into so much detail, she was pregnant, had the baby, killed it, buried it. Done.
What doctor writes and sends an electronic prescription without EVER seeing the patient first???? especially a NEW patient He has no idea about her own personal medical history any history of deep venous thrombosis or what particular birth-control pill would be suitable for her given her particular situation - (been in the medical profession for nearly 30 years) - should have given her prenatal vitamins that same day (samples) - and there’s never a chaperone with him during the exams??? WTH
Is her mother in the courtroom? I think I can see her father....isn’t he solidly built man with the goatee?
Amber oh okay. Thanks
No . She was supposed to be testify for the state but they never called her.
OMG this Dr. is tap dancing the questions like crazy. Why would you do an ultrasound? Answer: to show & confirm for Skyler she was pregnant. Ugh you did a pregnancy test that already came back positive, WTH. What a horrible answer. He’s not coming off creditable at all. Super easy question & easy answer: Can the weeks someone is pregnant be off or wrong according to just a measurement, when the patient doesn’t give a consistent last period date? Answer: Absolutely. I’m waiting to hear if he talked to her about options like adoption, since she repeatedly said she couldn’t have a baby & he could tell she was in distress.
Well you have all the answers so take over the trial too. Barf
MaryLynn. Take a chill pill 💊
I thought it was illegal to examine a minor, or any female, without a third person in the room. Am I wrong?
She wasn’t a minor
@@Capicornsweet25 you’re right. I sit corrected. My question still stands.
It is required to have another person in the room while actually performing the physical exam only during the exam. The Provider is not required to have a witness in the room just for a consultation.
She declined the internal exam. He only did an ultrasound, which doesn't need a witness.
go to 25.00---25: 47minutes he says he measures her with ??
He measured the fundal height.. it’s basically from the pubic bone to the uterus.
Why is skylar STARING at her lawyer?????
Probably trying not to get emotional
Why is the first dr. so nervous.
Dover McManus I feel sorry for him. Idk why 🤷🏻♀️
Im pretty sure if you were sitting in his seat you wld b nervous too lol i kno i would bcuz if you say something they can take out of context then your gonna gt drilled and they trip you up. He is involved in this case where this teenager, regardless if she killed the baby or not admitted to burying it instead of calln an ambulance !! There is no way i could ever dig a hole n put a baby in it!! If i believed the baby was stillborn etc i would at least want the baby, that human being, to have a proper burial not just thrown into a hole in the ground n try to keep it a secret! I get it she was young n scared but this is on a whole other level when a person can do this! Idgaf how scared you are that is a human being its a life that she made! It just makes me sick to even think abt what that poor baby had to endure the short time it was alive!!! Pathetic pos
He's not a hired gun. Not a professional expert. His first time on the stand with cameras in his face at a murder trial of one of his patients. Duh why he is nervous.
Kind of a stupid question.
Nobody wants to be a part of this. I feel badly for him.
I think he also didn't want to see Skylar convicted of murder, so he was very careful with his answers.
Who was the father? was there DNA test on the baby?
girlygamer yes he testified
@@LorJuT Thank you.
@@LorJuT
Did he testify on this video or in preliminary hearing?
Vaughn Greenlee the 7 minute video before this one the father of baby testified
@@BuckleUpButtercup62 Thank you I am watching it now
This girl knows exactly what she did. She killed that baby😢
You did.
WHO'S WATCHIN.....THIS NOW??????
So did she get birth control pills or not ?
I know!! The mother said she had a prescription, but this doctor sounded like he didn't prescribe them! I don't know for sure!
@@veegee916 This should be so simple a question. I still dont know the answer.
The first dr prescribed them but once he found out she was pregnant he discontinued them im not sure how that is done but i wld hope the dr contacted the pharmacy he sent the script to and had them disregard that script
YES
I believe she knew she was pg but was in denial about it n went on to the apt like she wasn't I really believe she just put it in the back of her mind n went on like it'll just go away until she went to the apt n it came out n she finally got the truth by the Dr doesn't excuse what she did someone would of loved that baby...parents really need to be open even if her mom didn't agree with her being pg she sould of guided her to do the right thing they both should pay for this babies death so 😢
We are having trouble hearing you.... please speak more into the red potato
lol 😂
Kevin from the office is her Ob gyn
Dr. Andrew is very attractive....
This dr. Was not thorough enough! Measured with his hands? Are you kidding me!! Very unprofessional
Dr Andrew sounds like grandson of Cookie Monster
Why is she being charged with murder?? It's legal for a mother to kill her baby - i.e. Abortion - up and until birth. In some states it is legal to kill a baby even after birth if the mother decides that she doesn't want it. (I'm not for abortion at all. I just think this is double-talking.)
None of what you just said is true ,first of all you need to be under 24 weeks in most cases or less ! After that the life of the mother must be at risk or the fetus is unviable!! Once a baby is born you cannot kill it lol that would be murder hence this case we are watching lol
Good question. When the stupid doctor said that the baby was burned there's a problem.
It was all false though so the case should have been dropped
After birth it is MURDER!
@@Traceyi1000 so who put the baby in the ground and went on with their happy life ??
While I realize your comment was made two years ago, I still think it's worth giving it a 👎 for its sheer stupidity.
I don't believe the jury will say guilty
They can't.
I’m confused about how the Dr can remember what her insurance company was & her exact vitals but can’t remember using a piece of medical equipment to properly perform his job??? But bless his heart he isn’t much to speak in front of people. Lol
