This judge is an example of how a judge should be. He's thorough, explains everything slowly, calmly, and rationally. He's gone above and beyond to include the community and make sure everyone understands. Educating people makes such a massive difference in understanding and not believing fake information. This is exactly what needs to happen.
He pretty much flat out said he installed cameras in the courtroom so everyone could see the outcome no matter what it was to make himself look good because he was ruling on a controversial case and then denounced the jury’s verdict on camera in front of the entire court room and said he didn’t agree with their decision and then threatened the girl with jail time after the fact. How is that a good judge?
@@iheartyaybies3995 I disagree and the way you're thinking about why the cameras were placed isn't accurate. If there was a ruling handed down that most disagreed with, how's that make him look good?
@@iheartyaybies3995 That girl needed to understand that if she didn't comply, he could jail her for a year. This wasn't a threat. It was an explanation.
This is a tale of what happens when you have money and a certain name in Small Town, America. Also: she violated her probation, was caught on camera, and nothing was done.
I was waiting for the Judge to say the main three words that describes everything in this case and then he said it. "Life is Precious." I have said this for many years as this means, it is precious for everyone to connect with others and to be loved and have the feeling of being alive. Don't waste it.
Absolutely! Burglary of Habitation carries a life sentence in Texas. I write an inmate there and he’s doing life because the motel room he entered was that of a “public servant”. They threw the book at him. I’ve read the court transcripts and the whole thing is bogus. This case disgusts me. Skylar needs to do serious jail time.
@Meagan Montanari yeah you are my girl, you are totally right, out of sight out of mind, kill it as long as you don't se it...and everything is ok.... disgusting.....
Trey's family should have gotten custody of Annabelle s remains!!! They are the only members of her family that actually cared about her once they knew of her existence!!
AGREED!!!!!! 100%. That poor young man and his mom were victimized just as well by this aloof little flat stomach girl! Makes me crazy! I gave birth at 17 and she was the most wonderful gift from God to our family!!!
Unbelievable that Trey and his family were refused remains for burial by the father and family that wanted her. The murderer and her family should have been denied Annabelle's remains for burial. That decision made me sick to my stomach!!!
@@steveharringtonswife4797 she hid her pregnancy from everyone until she gave birth. Did not go get medical attention when the baby wasn't breathing. So yea she did.
What a respectable judge! Very fair very grounded. I am so glad that long crime posts these court cases because it restores my faith in the justice system.
Glad to know you can murder your baby and get 6 months max but carry drugs and you're doing 2-3 years. RUclips is censoring comments who hate this entire trial.
17:00 - Pay close attention. That is not an apology of remorse. It is a trained and rehearsed apology of fear. Endlessly fascinating and simultaneously tragic. She’ll now go back to her “normal” life, but if she’s smart she’ll do whatever she can to escape her toxic mother’s influence. Maternal pressure and her mother’s desperate desire to live vicariously through her is what lead to all this.
Her "apology" was incredibly shallow. She appears more emotionally and intellectually stunted than I thought. As I've said, she's now a convicted felon for life whose name and sex life have been shared across the internet, will become the subject of countless books and movies and another lawsuit from the Johnsons. She didn't escape anything but bars. She'll always be seen as a baby killer whether she is or isn't.
oh ffs her mother didn't do this. SHE DID. Plenty of people have far worse mothers and they don't kill their newborns (what she really did) or abuse corpses (what she was convicted of)
I feel the same way! Once you are 18 you are considered an adult and even more so at 20 this case is givin me a headache too bad she didnt have a bench trial she def wld b sitting in jail
Witch got away with murder! And the judge helped rub it in the father's face! As if he didn't exist just like his the baby girl! His family is non-existent to the Richardson's and the judge. Must of been friends. Oh I forgot good ole boys stick together! They literally are disgusting! Starting w/ her, the judge, jury of her peers, & her parents! How do you fix the broken hearted after all of this pain? She (Brooke) is the epitome of evil!
I think the Judge gave the baby to the Richardson family to not put the cost on Trey's family! I didn't really trust that they would actually do the right thing with the baby's remains but now they don't have a choice
@C Arch so the moral thing would be to place the financial burden of thousands of dollars upon the victims? The baby is in the Lord's hands and the Johnson family did not fight for the remains they requested a proper burial in a place where they can go and show their respects.
I couldn't agree more! I just watched the video of her parents visiting her in custody and none of them mentioned their sorrow at losing their grandchild or daughter....it was all about what people would think and how it would impact their lives. My heart broke for Trey's mum when she gave her victim impact statement. She truly loved that poor sweet baby. 😞
@@beckydennis6591 most if not all funeral homes will take care of an infant at no cost.. especially something is publicized as this is any funeral home would be more than happy to provide free services to the family. I know that in the area that I live in New York state Western New York most funeral homes will take care of stillborn babies were babies who died shortly after birth at no cost.. my cousin had to stillborn babies because her her cervix would not stay shut, my best friend had a stillborn baby at 32 weeks and another friend that I went to high school with had a baby that was born and died within a month and a half of a congenital disease and they took care of everything including a cremation.. the only thing they did not take care of was a burial space but most cemeteries would be willing to work with the family or donate a plot. Absolutely horrible that their father's family does not get the baby. Now the baby's killer can have a say in what goes on at the funeral.
@@janlovesmany6058 exactly!!!! All these abortions used for bc of course these young people are going to have no regard for an unborn child's life because our country doesn't!!!!!! It's just so fckn sickening!!! There is NO fckn excuse to kill a child, born or alive in their mothers tummy there is NEVER an excuse!
What annoys me the most in cases like this is... how the parents do not make their child take responsibility for their part in the crime. Instead this family is hiding behind her eating disorder, and asking that she be allowed to come home, to the comfort of their home, so they can look after her. Right!! Like those parents didn't tell her to eat less, so she would look sickly, and be released earlier. Manipulating the system, and not holding her accountable. This is how the world ends up with uncaring, monster, children.
Shannon Pike Imagine being raised by a woman whose main goal is to look like the IMAGE of HER PERCEIVED PERFECTION! WOW! I would have jumped in the hole w my baby! Brooke will NEVER STOP being REMINDED HOW SHE RUINED HER MOM’s REPUTATION OF THE PERFECT PERFECTIONIST! Ugh! SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE A GRANDMA! WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED THERE.
All you want is to watch people cry and to show their emotions. You don´t know how she feels and she might not want it to be shown for the whole world.
He could have done more! He chose NOT to do more. He could have given her 6 to 12 months and he only gave her 7 days of time ALREADY SERVED. And then gave them the remains of the baby that she did not want. SHAMEFUL! Those remains should have gone to the father !
Paternal grandmother.. She knows just as well as the rest of the community that her son would have forced her to get a DNA test before he ever supported that child.
It's fine that she gets a DNA test.. What I should have said is he never would have supported or taken care of that baby until it came back. And even if he had proof it was his through DNA he probably still wouldn't have supported the baby. He was 17. Not too many teenage boys are mature enough to step up at that age. The kid would be 10-15 before that would kick in.
Lydia Sinclair I said the same thing. All of that “wanting the baby” business is easy to cry now that there is no Baby. He wouldn’t have supported or wanted the baby. She would have done it in his place....IF anyone.
Mari NothingElse I agree. I also hope Skylar gets some help, mentally and physically. I hope she gets out of that house and away from her mother. I hope the mother gets help as well.
I know exactly how the grandma feels.. withdrawn and unable to hold babies, anxiety, no sleeping and just sad I am not the person I was before. I sang all the time in church for wedding for funerals and etc.And just a happy person. My 3 year old grandson. Only grandchild. I have no other and was so close to him when he was killed. That day 10 years ago I lost my son and my grandson. For something that should have never happened. I have PTSD from it. I try to move on, but the 2 holes in my heart are just there and never fill in, for my other children can not have children. No where to put that love. Life is so hard sometimes it seems too much and you have to retreat from everything. My joy in this life is just not there! I try to put on a happy face but don't feel happy. Life is precious!!
The sad part is that at the media, the public and everyone else will move on from this but these people have to live with it for the rest of their lives. Sad stuff yo
TO THE RICHARDSON'S: There is ALOT to be learned from Trey's family. They KNOW true love. THAT is how YOU should have raised and taught YOUR daughter. NOT by teaching that "reputation" and "image" are EVERYTHING, and NOTHING else matters, NOT EVEN human LIFE!!! Shame on you both! You cried out that the media destroyed YOUR family's reputation??? NO!!! YOU did that ALL ON YOUR OWN with your narcissistic, ruthless logic, thinking. YOU taught YOUR child to have a complete disregard for human life. Let THAT sink in!
@@glennabridges9403 um, Glenna I'm not sure what you've been watching but there is ZERO the Richardson's can milk for. Prior to her trial, the whole city they live in were so over them it caused them to go on National TV and guess what they said?? "The media has destroyed OUR family's reputation"! Now the whole country hates them. They are so narcissistic and vain they can't even see that their OWN morals, values, and narcissism ruined their OWN reputation! No one wants anything to do with them. So what exactly do you think they will get? And EVERYTHING I said is accurate and true. So the ONLY ones who should get anything out of this is Trey & his family. She never even told that boy it was his child. Had she done that she knew he would never let her keep it secret. So instead, he & his family find out his first born is dead (by her hands) & buried in dirt, a long time after the fact? Not wrapped in anything! Just dropped in like trash! Trey and ONLY Trey (his family) WILL reap ANY rewards, NOT the Richardson's.
This judge is absolutely what a judge should be. He let her know that her actions were the cause of her babies death. He did not coddle her like everyone else. She was negligent and I feel awful for Annabelles father and his family. Brooke didn't even say she would do things differently if she could go back! Wow.
Maybe the cops shouldn't have locked in the homicidal rage theory and forced an illegal inadmissible confession out of her. Maybe they could've gotten a negligent homicide conviction then.
I'm honestly not sure as to whether she was a murderer or not tbh. I've not looked overly into this case to study it all but I can completely understand if all your father has to say is about your eating disorder and you're scared of your parents... it makes sense to not fully know what to do and panic
When he said “We have a baby killer that got off in Warren County” I spit my water out😭😭😭Glad he knows exactly what happened when the jury reached their verdict🙄
I agree with what the judge said "If she had made different decisions her baby would still be here" The judge also said "She showed a Grotesque DISREGARD for human life" & I completely agree!
I believe many on the jury, possibly the judge and many of us believe she did not have a stillborn baby, but w/o a cause or manner of death it couldn't be proven. It's tough to take, but it's the law. The Ohio legislature defined "child endangerment." It may not be MY definition, but it's the law the jury had to follow. I do see a wrongful death claim by the Johnson family coming.
Who would be I feel let down like that little angel was just tossed on a hole an forgot about that mother had something to do with all that stuff her daughter did I think they are going to charge the mother
Penny Sue; You're right. The judge even mentioned he has a daughter who's Skylar's age and a granddaughter the same age as baby Annabelle (would have been had she lived). No visible reaction from Skylar while he spoke. She seemed zombie like and so disheveled. I'm sure her image conscious Mom had to be mortified at seeing her daughter in the same clothes as the day before. So sad for Trey's family.
I like this judge - he takes the time to explain good reasons for making trials available for the public to watch and understand. He also explains the bond amount, how it pertains to the defendant, and the graveness of her crime.
I don’t understand the grandmothers remorse, even if she gave birth and everyone knew… who would have supported her physically and mentally? People at that time are very quick to judge on these issues but when babies are born suddenly it’s - raise it, it’s Yours, you gave birth
How can her family not cry during that speech?! They show no remorse, no guilt, no care for a HUMAN life that was taken. She is so guilty and cold hearted!
The baby was born stillbirth there was no way she could save it besides get a hefty hospital fee Why would you cry when you know either way people will hate you
@@FuzzyNinja21 fair sentence? for killing...a baby? vs having a small bag of plants in ur pocket? Can’t relate to your thinking process bc it clearly lacks intelligence and human empathy.
I don’t even agree with meth heads sitting in jail. Now having a meth lab is a different conversation. But in general…I find it ridiculous to put a drug addict in jail. I believe when you are above 18…it’s your choice to buy sell or consume it. Meth labs put a whole area in jeopardy….so like I said…different story.
Why on earth would the judge give the remains to the family of the woman who clearly showed her disinterest in such remains? Given how she treated the "corpse" in such a brutal and grave manner?? That was a slap in the face to the paternal side of the family.
510BayArea1 lol ok reading back it was kinda funny how I said it but I am so serious, I caught this case when it first came out and the details are disgusting
It was September so I am guessing the father was in school. Right where he should be. He didn’t need to sit in on the trial after he gave his testimony.
@@Turandot29 Right where he should be in is the courtroom? Um... I mean, his own mother was talking about the loss she, as the grandmother, suffered throughout the previous holiday, correct? The granddaughter would have had "more toys than a baby could play with" around the tree had she lived, but her son (the father of said baby) couldn't even be bothered to show up for the trial??? With all due respect to you, that's rich. don'thorrific-nessthat
Yup my first grandson was born 2 days after Anabel...he is truly amazing..the luv of my life..they did lose a granddaughter not am IT. So sad for her so so sad
Omg Felicity Huffman got 14 days in jail for paying her kids way into college today and Skylar got half of that for tampering with her dead baby body and all this drama she caused. I honestly wished she got the 6 month so maybe she could sit and think of all the harm she caused many ppl especially her new born baby.
Tita Yanez oh NO.. Tita.. she might starve to death in prison... how freakin manipulative! She will screw up.. she is under a microscope now! She created her own reality!
Look Princess, she was acquitted by a jury of her peers. That's how it works. You want to make a judgement based on zero facts. Good luck with that in life.
@@princessglittersparkle4146 You are what is wrong with society, this girl was acquitted of all charges except a misdemeanour offense, she was basically trialled by public opinion of people like yourself who have total disregard for legal procedure and the law as well as the evidence presented by the coroner, the fact you called her a murderer shows that you are indeed the problem, she did not kill the child yet you spread malicious false lies around social media - take a deep long look at yourself in the mirror when you slate this girl for making a mistake, slander and defamation can destroy families and lives and you are guilty of doing that. She was a young girl with a disorder who was under the pressure of society to be a certain way, if society didn't push such narratives and people like yourself actually gave such people support when they needed it and not just be there to criticise them after they fall then she may have been able to turn to someone for help instead of making the error of burying her stillborn child.
A tragedy by a young girl who made errors in judgement but has stated her regrets for those decisions. I'm glad the judge saw that she has already been through a lot and deserves to be able to continue on with her life. The moral here is talk to your parents , they will always guide you with love and support.
100% agree. She was young, and didn’t have that type of relationship. I promised myself to have a very open relationship w/ my kids. I’ve gotten calls at 1 am, asking to be picked up from friend’s home bc she got uncomfortable. My kids tell me more than I want to hear, at times, most everything. Teens will keep secrets, but a good parent will have an unconditional relationship w/ their kids. I ingrained that into them! It’s a no matter what, I’ll love you. It didn’t mean there aren’t some punishments, but by the age of 15, my daughter and I talked, and I told her how I told my mom EVERYTHING, and then if anyone said anything, she knew she could ask me, and I’d be truthful. This was important for the times, someone said I did something I didn’t do. It’s called integrity. A person w/ upstanding integrity, won’t ever have to worry about ppl telling lies. My almost 18 yo daughter, tells me I’m her bff all the time! However, I don’t have to worry about pregnancy since she’s a fem, dating a dude. I love them, and they started dating at 15, and they’re still together. I’ve been married for 20 years to her dad, and her bf’s parents, also have. I do believe in-tact marriages, help the kids in their relationship. We don’t run from problems, we face them and find a way to compromise. We had 4 kids, and my youngest is almost 18. My older children are in committed relationships, 1 has been married a few years. Pls, talk to your kids! It is all about communication. She was young, and scared. She didn’t leave the live newborn into the dumpster, near winter, without clothes or blanket. That girl, is in jail, and deserves as many years as what is allowed.
Yeah, she has already been through too much. I mean, all she did was attempt to cremate her baby, bury it in the backyard, then text her mom “my belly is back omg”. She’s basically a victim!
What is astounding to me is that while this case was happening in real time the amount of disgust hate and judgement towards the defendant was astronomical. Today, the comments are supportive of the judges decisions
They are supportive of the fact that the judge followed what he had to under the law. He, however, said that he wished he wasn't bound by these laws. Horrible she wasn't actually punished for this at all.
@@djlowtek which part did you want he punished for? Giving birth, being young and uneducated on pregnancy, burying her baby in her backyard, or her behavior after the fact? I believe she was punished for the babies burial and for her behavior after the fact.
@@memyself4431 Why does that matter? I am a woman and am DISGUSTED by her sentence. Should have been WAY MORE and she should have been forced to get sterilized.
Boy, all this wholesome sentiment is beautiful. What's the difference between what she did and abortion? Because the way she killed her baby as opposed a Dr. Butchering in the womb? 🤔
Yes thank you Mrs. Johnson for speaking on behalf of your 1st Grandchild !!! the girls mother not only did not have the courage or character to speak on behalf on what would have her 1st Grandchild shows why we all need to teach our Boys to behave in a way that will not produce heartache for many years to come !
I was in love with my baby girl while she was growing inside of me. And the moment she popped out, I was so overwhelmed with love and anxiety about protecting her. I didn't want anyone else to hold her, I wouldn't let her out of my site. How any mother could feel anything but overwhelming love is baffling to me. My baby dying is my greatest fear.
To Trey, his mother and family, my sincerest condolences you you all. I pray for you all. This broke my heart for you all. I pray for your healing🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@applepie590 How do you know that? My son has it. I can tell you, if he were a girl,he would never do something like this!! It is never an excuse for such harmful poor choices.
Kim Young but he’s a pediatrician? Just like a cardiologist, an optometrist, an obgyn, a podiatrist.... all doctors have professional titles and I really don’t get the outrage people have over them calling him what he was. Such a petty thing to gripe about. Wow..
I think Tre and his mother should have been given the remains. I hope the Richardsons do the right thing with her remains and make sure to include the paternal family.
Oh My what she of done if she went and found out early that she was pregnant and had a abortion what would she of done then? Would she still be a victim?
This goes to show you ppl with money can get away with murder she was born with a silver spoon its not right the justice system is questionable at times in this world
@@beckydennis6591 nope. The judge could have ABSOLUTELY awarded those remains to the boys family AND as PART OF HER SENTENCE, ordered the Richardson's (namely Brooke) to pay for it under what's called, "Victim Restitution". Missed opportunity now, BUT that's what should have been done!
Everyone, ignore @apple pie. Brooke does NOT have autism spectrum disorder. She sat next to an autistic kid, during lunchtime at school, so he didn't have to sit ALONE. At least, thats what her defense team found someone to testify to, (IF it's even true), in order to gain sympathy from the jury, by showing Brooke's very much "honorable" empathetic compassion she possesses for others. Tell ya what! My son HAS Autism. SHE is the LAST PERSON I would want my son sitting with at lunch.
I don't know what happened here besides a baby died, but I think this highlights how fathers have zero rights when it comes to their children. A mother can do any horrible act they want and will still be able to keep custody of a child. I think the remains should have been released to the father and his family and SHE can have visitation rights, not the other way around.

That is the first thing I thought...she is so "sorry" for all these people she hurt and upset....seriously , if you do not care about your own baby wtf does other peoples feelings matter? She apologizes as if she ran a red light or used profanity in public infront of children. Good gried this case is devastating
Yes bc he really seemed to throw down the hammer on her! She didn’t learn anything other than what white privilege really means and what this judge said was all for the cameras boo. If he even believed one bit of he would’ve at the very least imposed some jail time and he did not. Therefore this was far from a teachable moment for anyone.
Vaughn Greenlee it’s not about being a victim sir. It’s about simple statistics. That’s hard to ignore. But I’m sure the Jews probably played victims during and after the holocaust too.
The paternal Grandmothers impact statement was heartbreaking while Brookes parents sat there with no emotion whatsoever at the thought of little Annabelle on Christmas Day etc
I feel for grandma Johnson.if. you ever read this one day you are going to be the best grandma ever.I have no doubt you will be that grandma.I'm really so sorry for you and your sons loss.
Skylar: "I might have squeezed the baby too hard, the baby cried and the baby might have been alive for five minutes" Rest in peace sweet baby. Prayers for the grandma and her son.
What happened to this young lady growing up that she developed an eating disorder by the age of 12? Something happened to her! In the arms of Jesus that precious baby is now....I want to know what was going on in that home that was not brought up in this trial. We are missing a lot of pieces to this puzzle. And whatever has been happening in that home will still be happening at some level. How horrible to go through labor all alone for fear of what? Why didn't she feel safe telling her parents? To the extent that she went through? This is not over for this girl. She is acting out the family secrets and paying the full price. So wrong!
(?) You act like you're surprised (?) Everyday women murder men and children and get probation and have been for the last 200 years in the US! Women - and women of all races are above the law in the US. You're a _woman_ and you don't know that?
She got what the law allowed. Remember she attempted to dispose of a corpse. She did not kill the baby. The baby was born dead. A still born child. Why is this "baby killer" repeated over and over when it is simply not true. What she did was inexcusable but she murdered no one. It's like some one shooting a dead person. They can not be charged with murder.
I got in more trouble with having a prescription in my car and charged with a dui cuz I have to take the medicine every day. Interesting. So I should've had a baby, told no one, and buried it in the backyard...would've got me less troubles...
Yea, I was looking through my news feed, and I see all the stories of people going to prison for various non-violent crimes, and it goes through my mind but the lady who killed her baby gets nothing... WTF kind of twilight zone is this world man?
It is disgusting to me that this jury didn't find her guilty of something...To me the prosecution showed the soul of this little bitch..she is cold as ice...her life will probably be very problematic...
During the first interview, when her parents found out.. Didn’t her mom say something about their lives being perfect and now people were digging in the backyard, and what were aunt and uncle this and that gonna think??? Never said... My grandchild.. you gave birth to my first grandchild and buried her???? I THINK THE OLD, APPLE DOESN’T FALL FROM THE TREE, APPLIES HERE! Crazy!
Off Topic: but this judge REALLY reminds me of the judge that the main actress dates on tv show Drop dead diva! I'm glad that they're both good judges!!
Her mother is at fault for some of this. The way she encouraged weight loss with a eating disorder patient is sickening. It's like your meth addict child telling you "im going to step up my addiction" and the parent saying "you go, that's awesome". Dysfunction junction

I like what he said, but not what he did. I feel like he let her off so easy, from the beginning!
Ive listened to lots of judges, I really respect this guys words & tone he presents in this video.
I was waiting for the Judge to say the main three words that describes everything in this case and then he said it. "Life is Precious." I have said this for many years as this means, it is precious for everyone to connect with others and to be loved and have the feeling of being alive. Don't waste it.
Agree
Theres a lot of people sitting in jail for a lot less than throwing an innocent child away and she gets a slap on the wrist. Such BS
Kelli S 💯
Seriously! What a joke!
Kelli S Huge joke. She is guilty. The father of the baby would have cared for the baby if she didn’t want a child.
Absolutely!
Burglary of Habitation carries a life sentence in Texas. I write an inmate there and he’s doing life because the motel room he entered was that of a “public servant”. They threw the book at him. I’ve read the court transcripts and the whole thing is bogus.
This case disgusts me. Skylar needs to do serious jail time.
That's why we must end this 'war on drugs' and mandatory sentencing. It ties judges hands.

Trey's family should have gotten custody of Annabelle s remains!!! They are the only members of her family that actually cared about her once they knew of her existence!!
Agree!!
Totally agree

Unbelievable that Trey and his family were refused remains for burial by the father and family that wanted her. The murderer and her family should have been denied Annabelle's remains for burial. That decision made me sick to my stomach!!!
she wasnt guilty at all of the murder, the way she talked in the questioning room sounded innocent.
i think the remains should have went to the father of the child and the burial costs should have been placed on the richardson family
"U Got that Right" 100% Agree !!!
Absolutely!
I AGREE 100%☹️
No why because the father had nothing to do with anything so he gets nothing
Besides she didn’t kill it
@@steveharringtonswife4797 she hid her pregnancy from everyone until she gave birth. Did not go get medical attention when the baby wasn't breathing. So yea she did.
I love this judge. Very smart, very fair and very calm and cool.
What a respectable judge! Very fair very grounded. I am so glad that long crime posts these court cases because it restores my faith in the justice system.
Bad jury tho
Glad to know you can murder your baby and get 6 months max but carry drugs and you're doing 2-3 years. RUclips is censoring comments who hate this entire trial.
“You murdered your child. You’re free to go“
17:00 - Pay close attention. That is not an apology of remorse. It is a trained and rehearsed apology of fear. Endlessly fascinating and simultaneously tragic.
She’ll now go back to her “normal” life, but if she’s smart she’ll do whatever she can to escape her toxic mother’s influence. Maternal pressure and her mother’s desperate desire to live vicariously through her is what lead to all this.
Phoney apology, go eat a sandwich...
@Thank you You Tube For TERMINATING Miss Mensa Exactly, no remorse whatsoever.
Andy I hope her anorexia gives her the same fate in the 2nd plot
Her "apology" was incredibly shallow. She appears more emotionally and intellectually stunted than I thought. As I've said, she's now a convicted felon for life whose name and sex life have been shared across the internet, will become the subject of countless books and movies and another lawsuit from the Johnsons. She didn't escape anything but bars. She'll always be seen as a baby killer whether she is or isn't.
oh ffs her mother didn't do this. SHE DID. Plenty of people have far worse mothers and they don't kill their newborns (what she really did) or abuse corpses (what she was convicted of)
Pediatrician? She is 20 years old! Stop acting like she is not an adult. Make adult choices expect adult consequences.
I was like...pediatrician? PEDIATRICIAN? pediatrician? She's 20 not 2...wtf? wtf?
I feel the same way! Once you are 18 you are considered an adult and even more so at 20 this case is givin me a headache too bad she didnt have a bench trial she def wld b sitting in jail
Her pediatrician has her medical records, most peds see their patients until the age of 21.
Susan Strait pediatricians don’t stop seeing their patients until 21.
Witch got away with murder! And the judge helped rub it in the father's face! As if he didn't exist just like his the baby girl! His family is non-existent to the Richardson's and the judge. Must of been friends. Oh I forgot good ole boys stick together! They literally are disgusting! Starting w/ her, the judge, jury of her peers, & her parents! How do you fix the broken hearted after all of this pain? She (Brooke) is the epitome of evil!
Salute you sir ! Brilliant Judge 🙏🏾
I just wanna say props to the judge for keeping everything professional and managing his courtroom in a respectful manner.
That’s literally the main job of a judge - decorum, measure.
@@shewas1984 some go off all crazy like he kept his cool
What did the woman do? If you don’t mind my asking?
I feel that the remains should go to treys family. Skylar obviously couldnt care less.
I think the Judge gave the baby to the Richardson family to not put the cost on Trey's family! I didn't really trust that they would actually do the right thing with the baby's remains but now they don't have a choice
@@beckydennis6591 that makes sense with the cost. I forgot about that. It's such a sad story all around.
@C Arch so the moral thing would be to place the financial burden of thousands of dollars upon the victims? The baby is in the Lord's hands and the Johnson family did not fight for the remains they requested a proper burial in a place where they can go and show their respects.
I couldn't agree more! I just watched the video of her parents visiting her in custody and none of them mentioned their sorrow at losing their grandchild or daughter....it was all about what people would think and how it would impact their lives. My heart broke for Trey's mum when she gave her victim impact statement. She truly loved that poor sweet baby. 😞
@@beckydennis6591 most if not all funeral homes will take care of an infant at no cost.. especially something is publicized as this is any funeral home would be more than happy to provide free services to the family. I know that in the area that I live in New York state Western New York most funeral homes will take care of stillborn babies were babies who died shortly after birth at no cost.. my cousin had to stillborn babies because her her cervix would not stay shut, my best friend had a stillborn baby at 32 weeks and another friend that I went to high school with had a baby that was born and died within a month and a half of a congenital disease and they took care of everything including a cremation.. the only thing they did not take care of was a burial space but most cemeteries would be willing to work with the family or donate a plot. Absolutely horrible that their father's family does not get the baby. Now the baby's killer can have a say in what goes on at the funeral.
"Grotesque disregard for human life." Perfect.
Yes, that was so we'll said...he knows she is soulless.
Unfortunately that happens daily in this country with abortions that's gone wild...it is no wonder the young have no regard for human life!!

@@deeeeeeeench1209 what the hell is wrong with you?
Judge sounds very reasonable and informative. We would hope all judges would be like this.
What annoys me the most in cases like this is... how the parents do not make their child take responsibility for their part in the crime. Instead this family is hiding behind her eating disorder, and asking that she be allowed to come home, to the comfort of their home, so they can look after her. Right!! Like those parents didn't tell her to eat less, so she would look sickly, and be released earlier. Manipulating the system, and not holding her accountable. This is how the world ends up with uncaring, monster, children.
She was never going to face consequences anyways, I mean look at the first word in this comment.
She's been home the entirety of the trial and it didn't help the eating disorder. Don't think it's going to matter.
She didn't look like she had an eating disorder until her trial.
Her mother should be charged! The look of her in the back makes me ill
Shannon Pike Imagine being raised by a woman whose main goal is to look like the IMAGE of HER PERCEIVED PERFECTION! WOW!
I would have jumped in the hole w my baby!
Brooke will NEVER STOP being REMINDED HOW SHE RUINED HER MOM’s REPUTATION OF THE PERFECT PERFECTIONIST!
Ugh! SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE A GRANDMA! WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED THERE.
Charged with what? What did she do?
I was thinking same thing..she looks scary.
agreed
All you want is to watch people cry and to show their emotions. You don´t know how she feels and she might not want it to be shown for the whole world.
That's a well spoken judge.. She got lucky he couldn't do what he felt like he and all of us knew what she really needed.
He could have done more! He chose NOT to do more. He could have given her 6 to 12 months and he only gave her 7 days of time ALREADY SERVED. And then gave them the remains of the baby that she did not want. SHAMEFUL! Those remains should have gone to the father !
Brave paternal grandmother. Good for you to declare those values. I so support your statement
this Judge is simply perfect in my eyes.
Paternal grandmother.. She knows just as well as the rest of the community that her son would have forced her to get a DNA test before he ever supported that child.
Exactly!
so why shouldn't he
Yeah she seems a bit over-dramatic IMO.
It's fine that she gets a DNA test.. What I should have said is he never would have supported or taken care of that baby until it came back. And even if he had proof it was his through DNA he probably still wouldn't have supported the baby. He was 17. Not too many teenage boys are mature enough to step up at that age. The kid would be 10-15 before that would kick in.
Lydia Sinclair I said the same thing. All of that “wanting the baby” business is easy to cry now that there is no Baby. He wouldn’t have supported or wanted the baby. She would have done it in his place....IF anyone.
I love this judge. His statement at the end is perfect.
Mari NothingElse I agree. I also hope Skylar gets some help, mentally and physically. I hope she gets out of that house and away from her mother. I hope the mother gets help as well.
I know exactly how the grandma feels.. withdrawn and unable to hold babies, anxiety, no sleeping and just sad I am not the person I was before. I sang all the time in church for wedding for funerals and etc.And just a happy person. My 3 year old grandson. Only grandchild. I have no other and was so close to him when he was killed. That day 10 years ago I lost my son and my grandson. For something that should have never happened. I have PTSD from it. I try to move on, but the 2 holes in my heart are just there and never fill in, for my other children can not have children. No where to put that love. Life is so hard sometimes it seems too much and you have to retreat from everything. My joy in this life is just not there! I try to put on a happy face but don't feel happy. Life is precious!!
I wish you so much good in your life
The sad part is that at the media, the public and everyone else will
move on from this but these people have to live with it for the rest of their lives. Sad stuff yo
TO THE RICHARDSON'S: There is ALOT to be learned from Trey's family. They KNOW true love. THAT is how YOU should have raised and taught YOUR daughter. NOT by teaching that "reputation" and "image" are EVERYTHING, and NOTHING else matters, NOT EVEN human LIFE!!! Shame on you both! You cried out that the media destroyed YOUR family's reputation??? NO!!! YOU did that ALL ON YOUR OWN with your narcissistic, ruthless logic, thinking. YOU taught YOUR child to have a complete disregard for human life. Let THAT sink in!
Bs! This family is going to milk this for all they can get.
Well that families going to hell for sure
Nikki B so well said 👍
@@glennabridges9403 um, Glenna I'm not sure what you've been watching but there is ZERO the Richardson's can milk for. Prior to her trial, the whole city they live in were so over them it caused them to go on National TV and guess what they said?? "The media has destroyed OUR family's reputation"! Now the whole country hates them. They are so narcissistic and vain they can't even see that their OWN morals, values, and narcissism ruined their OWN reputation! No one wants anything to do with them. So what exactly do you think they will get? And EVERYTHING I said is accurate and true. So the ONLY ones who should get anything out of this is Trey & his family. She never even told that boy it was his child. Had she done that she knew he would never let her keep it secret. So instead, he & his family find out his first born is dead (by her hands) & buried in dirt, a long time after the fact? Not wrapped in anything! Just dropped in like trash! Trey and ONLY Trey (his family) WILL reap ANY rewards, NOT the Richardson's.
@@victoriagibson014 thank you luv! ❤
Props to the judge for everything he told her.
This judge is absolutely what a judge should be. He let her know that her actions were the cause of her babies death. He did not coddle her like everyone else. She was negligent and I feel awful for Annabelles father and his family. Brooke didn't even say she would do things differently if she could go back! Wow.
annabelles father probably would've told her to get an abortion
@@Meii652 Yes because.... Women power!
Maybe the cops shouldn't have locked in the homicidal rage theory and forced an illegal inadmissible confession out of her. Maybe they could've gotten a negligent homicide conviction then.
@@MrTunes333 what do you even mean by that
Didn't coddle her? He didn't even sentence her to jail. Please.
I'm honestly not sure as to whether she was a murderer or not tbh. I've not looked overly into this case to study it all but I can completely understand if all your father has to say is about your eating disorder and you're scared of your parents... it makes sense to not fully know what to do and panic
When he said “We have a baby killer that got off in Warren County” I spit my water out😭😭😭Glad he knows exactly what happened when the jury reached their verdict🙄
OMG. She did not kill the baby. It was a still born. A still born. A still born.
TheSeanocasey she had been trying to force a miscarriage the whole pregnancy, please shut up
TheSeanocasey girl shut up! She wanted that baby dead the whole time.
@@cprice846 Oh okay expert.
I agree with what the judge said "If she had made different decisions her baby would still be here"
The judge also said "She showed a Grotesque DISREGARD for human life" & I completely agree!
The judge is not happy with the verdict...I think thats clear
Agreed. He knows she is guilty.
I believe many on the jury, possibly the judge and many of us believe she did not have a stillborn baby, but w/o a cause or manner of death it couldn't be proven. It's tough to take, but it's the law. The Ohio legislature defined "child endangerment." It may not be MY definition, but it's the law the jury had to follow. I do see a wrongful death claim by the Johnson family coming.
Who would be I feel let down like that little angel was just tossed on a hole an forgot about that mother had something to do with all that stuff her daughter did I think they are going to charge the mother
Penny Sue; You're right. The judge even mentioned he has a daughter who's Skylar's age and a granddaughter the same age as baby Annabelle (would have been had she lived). No visible reaction from Skylar while he spoke. She seemed zombie like and so disheveled. I'm sure her image conscious Mom had to be mortified at seeing her daughter in the same clothes as the day before. So sad for Trey's family.
Yes, I agree he's not pleased with the jurors verdict. I don't blame him.
that is a good judge, He mitigated all the facts, and proceeded correctly. Good Job!
This Judge is amazing
The judge basically said, "I know the max sentence for this crime is weak so I let the media in so everyone can see what kind of monster you are."
he did ?

Her apology was about the most half assed half hearted apology I have ever seen. My daughter says sorry like that for punching her brother
I don’t understand the grandmothers remorse, even if she gave birth and everyone knew… who would have supported her physically and mentally? People at that time are very quick to judge on these issues but when babies are born suddenly it’s - raise it, it’s Yours, you gave birth
How can her family not cry during that speech?! They show no remorse, no guilt, no care for a HUMAN life that was taken. She is so guilty and cold hearted!
True I was crying during this trial that's sad what she did :'

I believe when you are above 18…it’s your choice to buy sell or consume it. Meth labs put a whole area in jeopardy….so like I said…different story.
Why on earth would the judge give the remains to the family of the woman who clearly showed her disinterest in such remains? Given how she treated the "corpse" in such a brutal and grave manner?? That was a slap in the face to the paternal side of the family.
I would love to know what she said to her attorney after the sentencing.

@@andrewvelonis5940 notice you said acquitted, and not *innocent*
@@princessglittersparkle4146 You are what is wrong with society, this girl was acquitted of all charges except a misdemeanour offense, she was basically trialled by public opinion of people like yourself who have total disregard for legal procedure and the law as well as the evidence presented by the coroner, the fact you called her a murderer shows that you are indeed the problem, she did not kill the child yet you spread malicious false lies around social media - take a deep long look at yourself in the mirror when you slate this girl for making a mistake, slander and defamation can destroy families and lives and you are guilty of doing that.
She was a young girl with a disorder who was under the pressure of society to be a certain way, if society didn't push such narratives and people like yourself actually gave such people support when they needed it and not just be there to criticise them after they fall then she may have been able to turn to someone for help instead of making the error of burying her stillborn child.
A tragedy by a young girl who made errors in judgement but has stated her regrets for those decisions. I'm glad the judge saw that she has already been through a lot and deserves to be able to continue on with her life. The moral here is talk to your parents , they will always guide you with love and support.
Ok. Right. 🥴
100% agree. She was young, and didn’t have that type of relationship. I promised myself to have a very open relationship w/ my kids. I’ve gotten calls at 1 am, asking to be picked up from friend’s home bc she got uncomfortable. My kids tell me more than I want to hear, at times, most everything. Teens will keep secrets, but a good parent will have an unconditional relationship w/ their kids. I ingrained that into them! It’s a no matter what, I’ll love you. It didn’t mean there aren’t some punishments, but by the age of 15, my daughter and I talked, and I told her how I told my mom EVERYTHING, and then if anyone said anything, she knew she could ask me, and I’d be truthful. This was important for the times, someone said I did something I didn’t do. It’s called integrity. A person w/ upstanding integrity, won’t ever have to worry about ppl telling lies. My almost 18 yo daughter, tells me I’m her bff all the time! However, I don’t have to worry about pregnancy since she’s a fem, dating a dude. I love them, and they started dating at 15, and they’re still together. I’ve been married for 20 years to her dad, and her bf’s parents, also have. I do believe in-tact marriages, help the kids in their relationship. We don’t run from problems, we face them and find a way to compromise. We had 4 kids, and my youngest is almost 18. My older children are in committed relationships, 1 has been married a few years. Pls, talk to your kids! It is all about communication. She was young, and scared. She didn’t leave the live newborn into the dumpster, near winter, without clothes or blanket. That girl, is in jail, and deserves as many years as what is allowed.
Not her mother.
Yeah, she has already been through too much. I mean, all she did was attempt to cremate her baby, bury it in the backyard, then text her mom “my belly is back omg”. She’s basically a victim!
Sure, killing an infant on purpose is an error in judgment.....Jesus...
What is astounding to me is that while this case was happening in real time the amount of disgust hate and judgement towards the defendant was astronomical. Today, the comments are supportive of the judges decisions
They are supportive of the fact that the judge followed what he had to under the law. He, however, said that he wished he wasn't bound by these laws. Horrible she wasn't actually punished for this at all.

Everyone, ignore @apple pie. Brooke does NOT have autism spectrum disorder. She sat next to an autistic kid, during lunchtime at school, so he didn't have to sit ALONE. At least, thats what her defense team found someone to testify to, (IF it's even true), in order to gain sympathy from the jury, by showing Brooke's very much "honorable" empathetic compassion she possesses for others. Tell ya what! My son HAS Autism. SHE is the LAST PERSON I would want my son sitting with at lunch.
Why won't my phone let me cuss.I spelled. As$ hole
THE MOST STRANGE CASE EVER ,THERE MUST BE MORE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
@Sandra Brown BAD DEEDS CATCH UP WITH EVERYONE SOONER OR LATER.
I don't know what happened here besides a baby died, but I think this highlights how fathers have zero rights when it comes to their children. A mother can do any horrible act they want and will still be able to keep custody of a child. I think the remains should have been released to the father and his family and SHE can have visitation rights, not the other way around.
I 1000 percent agree with you. My exact thoughts.
Thank you for posting this... you're exactly correct and it's a perspective that needed to be stated.
I agree
She was young, and scared. I promised myself to have a very open relationship w/ my kids. I’ve gotten calls at 1 am, asking to be picked up from friend’s home bc she got uncomfortable. My kids tell me more than I want to hear, at times, most everything. Teens will keep secrets, but a good parent will have an unconditional relationship w/ their kids. I ingrained that into them! It’s a no matter what, I’ll love you. It didn’t mean there aren’t some punishments, but by the age of 15, my daughter and I talked, and I told her how I told my mom EVERYTHING, and then if anyone said anything, she knew she could ask me, and I’d be truthful. This was important for the times, someone said I did something I didn’t do. It’s called integrity. A person w/ upstanding integrity, won’t ever have to worry about ppl telling lies. My almost 18 yo daughter, tells me I’m her bff all the time! However, I don’t have to worry about pregnancy since she’s a fem, dating a dude. I love them, and they started dating at 15, and they’re still together. I’ve been married for 20 years to her dad, and her bf’s parents, also have. I do believe in-tact marriages, help the kids in their relationship. We don’t run from problems, we face them and find a way to compromise. We had 4 kids, and my youngest is almost 18. My older children are in committed relationships, 1 has been married a few years. Pls, talk to your kids! It is all about communication. She was young, and scared. She didn’t leave the live newborn in the dumpster, near winter, without clothes or blanket. That girl, is in jail, and deserves as many years as what is allowed.
Not one word about her dead baby 😳
Not even one...
That is the first thing I thought...she is so "sorry" for all these people she hurt and upset....seriously , if you do not care about your own baby wtf does other peoples feelings matter?
She apologizes as if she ran a red light or used profanity in public infront of children. Good gried this case is devastating
What?. You must be deaf?.
Did you watch the trial?
Yesssssss judge!!!! I am so happy he told her what she needed to hear!!! Let’s hope it actually sunk in!!!
Yes bc he really seemed to throw down the hammer on her! She didn’t learn anything other than what white privilege really means and what this judge said was all for the cameras boo. If he even believed one bit of he would’ve at the very least imposed some jail time and he did not. Therefore this was far from a teachable moment for anyone.

Doesn't the race card ever get old? Do you get tired of being a victim?
Vaughn Greenlee it’s not about being a victim sir. It’s about simple statistics. That’s hard to ignore. But I’m sure the Jews probably played victims during and after the holocaust too.
i pray for her. Regardless I feel sorrow. she will have this over her head the rest of her life!
@ 22:06 shows her real demeanor. The celebratory smile that she got away with it.
Sometimes you win in court, sometimes you don't, just learn from it. Bless that baby, I didn't even know the baby but after this it hurts in my heart,
how often are you in court?!
Rest in Peace, Annabelle Richardson.
The paternal Grandmothers impact statement was heartbreaking while Brookes parents sat there with no emotion whatsoever at the thought of little Annabelle on Christmas Day etc
So glad the judge said Annabelle would have been here if she did things differently
I feel for grandma Johnson.if. you ever read this one day you are going to be the best grandma ever.I have no doubt you will be that grandma.I'm really so sorry for you and your sons loss.
Skylar: "I might have squeezed the baby too hard, the baby cried and the baby might have been alive for five minutes" Rest in peace sweet baby. Prayers for the grandma and her son.
I concur with you completely. It breaks my heart that her family got custody of that little angel's body.
this judge is awesome
What happened to this young lady growing up that she developed an eating disorder by the age of 12? Something happened to her! In the arms of Jesus that precious baby is now....I want to know what was going on in that home that was not brought up in this trial. We are missing a lot of pieces to this puzzle. And whatever has been happening in that home will still be happening at some level. How horrible to go through labor all alone for fear of what? Why didn't she feel safe telling her parents? To the extent that she went through? This is not over for this girl. She is acting out the family secrets and paying the full price. So wrong!
This verdict disgusts me smh. She got off wayyyyy easier than should have been rendered
(?) You act like you're surprised (?) Everyday women murder men and children and get probation and have been for the last 200 years in the US! Women - and women of all races are above the law in the US. You're a _woman_ and you don't know that?
Tell the jury. The law is the law. Not saying I agree with the verdict but it wasn't proven
It's sentencing,pay attention
Mr Green I know this I was simply saying that theVERDICT DISGUSTS ME
She got what the law allowed. Remember she attempted to dispose of a corpse. She did not kill the baby. The baby was born dead. A still born child. Why is this "baby killer" repeated over and over when it is simply not true. What she did was inexcusable but she murdered no one. It's like some one shooting a dead person. They can not be charged with murder.
I got in more trouble with having a prescription in my car and charged with a dui cuz I have to take the medicine every day. Interesting. So I should've had a baby, told no one, and buried it in the backyard...would've got me less troubles...
Yea, I was looking through my news feed, and I see all the stories of people going to prison for various non-violent crimes, and it goes through my mind but the lady who killed her baby gets nothing... WTF kind of twilight zone is this world man?
It is disgusting to me that this jury didn't find her guilty of something...To me the prosecution showed the soul of this little bitch..she is cold as ice...her life will probably be very problematic...
@@polkadotsuzanne9306 They did...Abuse of a Corpse...apparently that's no big deal.
jojo canon Pretty flipping sick, isn’t it?! Murder and or destroying a life is less punishable😒😒😒😒😔😔😔
During the first interview, when her parents found out.. Didn’t her mom say something about their lives being perfect and now people were digging in the backyard, and what were aunt and uncle this and that gonna think???
Never said... My grandchild.. you gave birth to my first grandchild and buried her????
I THINK THE OLD, APPLE DOESN’T FALL FROM THE TREE, APPLIES HERE!
Crazy!
The fudge! She tampered with a "dead" corpse. She also hid evidence by hiding the body, how did she not at least go to jail for that?
Off Topic: but this judge REALLY reminds me of the judge that the main actress dates on tv show Drop dead diva! I'm glad that they're both good judges!!
Her mother is at fault for some of this. The way she encouraged weight loss with a eating disorder patient is sickening. It's like your meth addict child telling you "im going to step up my addiction" and the parent saying "you go, that's awesome". Dysfunction junction
I agree!
Agree
Both her parents have guilt in this.
💯 spot on!
Skylars mother is totally a horrid woman
